Inclusive Boards is delighted to be undertaking the search for a new Fundraising Trustee for Redthread.

Redthread is a multi award-winning charity with over 20 years experience of delivering pioneering youth work in hospitals and other health settings. They work across 13 hospitals in London, Nottinghamshire and Birmingham with 11-25 year olds who are affected by grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, violence, emotional and physical harm, mental health issues, domestic violence and modern slavery. The charity also supports children and young people in the online space to reduce the impacts of violence, and with those experiencing a range of health conditions, who are vulnerable and in need. 

Redthread’s model is pioneering, and they train NHS staff so they are able to identify and better support children and young people affected by violence in health settings. The charity amplifies the voices of children and young people and uses evidence and insights from working with them to adapt and innovate work, support service improvement, and influence regional and national government

We are seeking individuals who have a strong empathy with Redthread's mission to help young people and who can contribute their knowledge of fundraising to the board.
