Common Cause Foundation are looking for up to 5 new non-executive directors to join our Board and help shape our work to rebalance cultural values. Could it be you or someone you know? 💡 Do you share our belief that any proportionate and lasting response to the polycrisis will require a fundamental re-examination of the values that are prioritised in mainstream culture? 💡 Do you bring skills in strategic planning, financial management, fundraising, non-hierarchical structures or experience working for systemic environmental or social change outside of the NGO sector? 💡 What we do needs to be shaped by who we want to serve - and that's all of us. As such we are particularly keen to recruit new board members with marginalised identities who have been denied access to power and influence or tokenised, including, but not limited to Black, Brown and Majority World peoples, disabled people, those from the LGBTQI+ community, people from working class backgrounds and people who identify as women - or people with a particular commitment to challenge human exceptionalism. 💡 You don’t need to have experience of being a trustee to apply, you also don’t need to have years of experience in the workplace or formal qualifications. 💡 Positions on the board are voluntary, but we will meet expenses, including caring responsibilities.
