Job Description

Chester FC Community Trust is inviting passionate and committed individuals to join its Board of Trustees and help shape the future of our work supporting communities across Cheshire West and Chester.

As the official charity and club community organisation of Chester FC, the Commmunity Trust works across the borough to create happier, healthier and fairer communities through the power of sport, education and community engagement. Every year, our programmes support thousands of people of all ages, helping to improve health and wellbeing, raise aspirations, tackle inequality and strengthen communities.

We are now looking to recruit new Trustees who share our vision and can help guide the strategic direction of the charity as we continue to grow and expand our impact.

Whether you have previous board experience or are considering becoming a Trustee for the first time, we would love to hear from you. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and are particularly keen to hear from individuals with experience or an interest in:

• Education
• Health & Wellbeing
• Sport & Community
• Fundraising and Income Generation
• Marketing & Communications

As a Trustee, you’ll work alongside a dedicated Board and leadership team to provide strategic oversight, ensure good governance and support the long-term sustainability of the Trust. The role involves attending approximately six Board meetings each year, contributing to the development of our strategy and acting as an ambassador for the organisation.

Our vision is simple: happier, healthier and fairer communities with Chester FC at their heart, where everyone is empowered to reach their potential.

Over the past year alone, Chester FC Community Trust has:

• Created £8.7 million of social value across our communities.
• Generated £10.20 in social value for every £1 invested.
• Delivered 30+ community programmes supporting people of all ages.
