Trustees’ Week is a chance to celebrate the nearly one million people across the UK who volunteer as charity trustees. 

Belay’s board is a mixture of parents, care-experienced adults and professionals. They give their time for free, often in the evenings around work and family life, to shape our strategy, make sure the charity is well run and help us grow so we can support more families. Between them, they bring both lived experience and professional expertise. 

This is an important time for Belay. Over the last year we’ve reviewed and relaunched our services so they can grow, we’ve recently recruited a permanent CEO, and we’ll soon be developing a long-term strategic plan. 

That’s why we’re now looking for a Co-Chair to lead our board of trustees. We’re particularly interested in hearing from people with experience of working with a growing small charity, and/or lived experience of being a child or parent in an adoptive, kinship or special guardianship family. 

You can find out more about the role and how to apply on our Vacancies page. 

Applications close at 9pm on Friday 27th November 2026.
