2024 was a pivotal year for the Equality Trust, as we refreshed our strategic direction, re-branded, and released an update to The Spirit Level – marking 15 years since its publication, and the launch of the Equality Trust.

In order to maximise the potential of our new strategy, and to harness the opportunities that the next 5 years may bring, we are hoping to bring on board a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 12 new trustees to our board – with a wide variety of backgrounds, skills, experience and perspectives – to steward the Equality Trust now and support us to create the conditions for much needed change in the UK. Recruiting up to 12 trustees will enable us to build a governance team where responsibilities and workload are fairly shared across a number of trustees via our subcommittee structure, as well as during full board meetings.

We want to encourage anyone who feels that they have the time, vision, drive and commitment to dismantle inequality in the UK to make an application. We are building a diverse team that is collaborative, bold, and ambitious for both the organisation and what we can achieve as a society. Please contact info@equalitytrust.org.uk if you have any questions.
