Trustees
15 hours ago
Contact is changing. Our purpose is clear. We are here to end the battle that families face for the support they need, so their families can lead joyful and fulfilling lives. Across the UK, families of disabled children are navigating an increasingly challenging landscape. Services are stretched, systems are complex, and too many families are reaching crisis before help arrives.
We know families need us more than ever. And as the pressures on education, health and social care deepen, we are stepping up. Our new strategy is bold and forward looking, focused on reaching more families, strengthening our national voice, and building a sustainable organisation that can meet rising need for the long term.
To deliver this, we are making important decisions about how we work, who we reach and where we invest. We are sharpening our focus on long term sustainability, diversifying our income, and embedding a culture where positive challenge and ambitious thinking sit alongside the warmth and partnership we are known for. Put simply, we are preparing Contact for the future, so that no family faces challenges alone.
These new Trustee roles are a statement of that ambition. We are bringing fresh energy and expertise onto our Board so that we can grow our reach, deepen our impact and strengthen our financial resilience. Each appointment will play a central role in shaping a stronger, more sustainable Contact.
We are seeking four Trustees who can help us deliver this change. You may be an experienced fundraiser who understands how to balance income portfolios and spot emerging opportunities. You may be a qualified accountant with insight into financial planning, audit or investments. You may bring legal and HR expertise that can strengthen our culture of inclusion, accountability and support. Or you may be someone rooted in Northern Ireland, with local insight and networks that can help us expand our work across all four nations.
Whatever your background, you will share our determination and our belief in the power of families. You will be someone with vision, curiosity and courage to ask thoughtful questions. You do not need previous board experience. We welcome people who are new to trusteeship and will support you to thrive.
This is a pivotal moment for Contact, and an exceptional opportunity to help shape the future of a charity that hundreds of thousands of families rely on every year.

Closing date: midnight, Sunday 21 December 2025.
