CFG Board of Trustees: help shape the future of charity finance!
We serve our members and the wider charitable sector, bringing us into contact with an incredibly diverse range of charitable organisations and the communities and people they serve. Our community of over 11,000 charity finance professionals work in charities and social purpose organisations of every size, location and stage of maturity, covering every charitable purpose.
As a trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping CFG's strategic direction, ensuring effective governance and helping us achieve our charitable purpose. A diversity of voices, experience and talent among out trustees is vital. There is no such thing as a 'typical' CFG trustee.
We are looking for people who share our commitment to a stronger charity sector and who will bring fresh perspectives, constructive challenge and a passion for supporting our members and shaping the wider sector
