Trustee Recruitment

The Naval Children’s Charity supports the wellbeing and development of children and young people from Royal Navy and Royal Marine families (including the Reserves and Royal Fleet Auxiliary), serving and veteran, in recognition of the unique situations they and their families face.

The only one of our Armed Forces to have a dedicated Children’s Charity, our vision is that every RN and RM child and young person has their spirit and talent unlocked, giving them a brighter future and helping them to realise their full potential.

For those in crisis we provide financial grants in support, mental health and wellbeing support and signposting and partnerships to improve the quality of life and address the range of needs our children experience.  In 2023/24 we spent £2.5m on delivering our welfare services, helping over 2,200 children and young people. 

Could you help us to continue to change the lives of our children now and in the future by becoming a trustee?

We are seeking two trustees to join us in Autumn 2024 for an initial term of three years: one trustee with experience of Digital/IT and one to support Finance/Funding to support our growing programmes by helping the Charity in developing new income streams.  Experience of RN service is an advantage.  Both roles are voluntary, however reasonable out-of-pocket expenses will be paid.
