The Board and Leadership team at Charity People is thrilled to be partnering with Amnesty International UK on their 2025 Board Recruitment.

Amnesty International UK:

Amnesty International UK operates in the UK as two distinct legal entities: Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust (‘the Charitable Trust’), and Amnesty International United Kingdom Section (‘the UK Section’). Each entity is governed by its own Board with the two working together and co-operating but remaining independent. Each Board operates and makes decisions based on the long-term interests of their respective entity and within the constraints imposed by applicable UK law, their separate constitutions and the overall rules of the global Amnesty International movement.

Grants Sub-Committee (GSC):

The Grants sub-committee is a sub-committee of the AIUK Charitable Trust Board. It assists the Trustees in making decisions to approve charitable grants and the release of funds. It provides oversight of grant applications; reviews existing grants and helps to assess potential funders.

The purpose of the Sub-Committee:

• Assist the Trustees of Amnesty International UK Section Charitable Trust in making decisions to approve the release of funds in line with the Trust’s charitable objectives and in alignment with the organisation’s strategic goals.
• The Grants Sub-Committee will oversee the assessment of grants using the best practice principles of grant making the committee have developed, monitor the progress and the impact of projects that the Trust has funded
• The Grants Sub-Committee shall work to ensure that the appropriate degree of oversight is taken when assessing grant applications
