Trustee

About the role

As a Trustee, you’ll help shape the Foundation’s next chapter. You’ll guide strategy, champion the mission and ensure they’re delivering lasting impact for nature and people.

You’ll join a passionate, collaborative Board, supporting a nimble, high-performing team that’s already making a big difference on the ground.

You don’t need prior trustee experience – what matters most is your enthusiasm, curiosity and belief in the power of nature to connect and inspire. You’ll receive a full induction and training.

Who We’re Looking For

We’re looking for people who bring positive energy, fresh ideas and a diversity of perspectives to the Board. You might have expertise in:

Or you might simply have a deep love or connection to the Peak District and a desire to see it protected and celebrated for generations to come.

If you can think strategically, communicate warmly and bring people together, then we’d love to hear from you.

Who should apply?

We also want to emphasise that candidates from all backgrounds are warmly encouraged to apply – in particular, Black, Asian, and global majority candidates, disabled people, those from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, younger candidates (under 40) and first-time trustees.

We’re looking for individuals who will culturally add to the organisation, rather than simply fit into an existing mould
