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.

The Foundation awards circa £350,000 a year in grants using funds donated by Leeds Building Society and its members. The independent Board of Trustees meets quarterly to make funding decisions, set the strategy and approach to grant giving, ensure the Foundation adheres to charity governance and maintains best practice in grant making. If you have a passion for addressing inequalities, an understanding of the social issues that charities and communities face, the ability to make well-informed judgements, with a commitment to teamworking and your own professional development, we'd love to hear from you.

We are looking for someone willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We're looking for someone aged 25 or under interested in developing leadership skills.
