Lead trustees in advocacy or sports governance

Organisation: Gymnasts For Change
Salary: Volunteer
Location: London/Hybrid
Contract type: Volunteer (Part time)
Closing date: 15 October 2025
Job Description: Established as a registered charity in early 2024, G4CI is entering an exciting new chapter. We are now looking to expand our Board of Trustees by appointing at least two new members who can bring specialist expertise in the charity’s core activities to help shape the organisation’s next phase, whilst maintaining the central role of lived experience.

This is a pivotal time to join us. Our advocacy has already contributed to meaningful policy reform within British Gymnastics, and we are now focused on sustaining pressure for implementation, pushing for legal reform, and supporting international efforts for cultural change in the sport worldwide.

We particularly welcome applications from people with experience in:

- Sports governance. Including:
- Understanding of the UK and/or international sport system;
- Experience with a national or international governing body or sport charity;
- Insight into sport-specific safeguarding structures and regulatory frameworks.

- Human rights campaigning and/or strategic litigation. Including:
- Designing or delivering successful advocacy or media campaigns;
- Political and public affairs experience;
- Stakeholder engagement, from grassroots to government.
- Advising on or coordinating strategic litigation

We are a neuro-affirmative and inclusive organisation and are particularly keen to hear from:
- People with lived experience of abuse in gymnastics or other sports
- People of colour and the global majority
- Neurodiverse people
- Disabled people
- LGBTQIA+ individuals

As a trustee, you’ll be joining:
- A bold, survivor-led human rights organisation
- A young but fast-growing charity propelled by an engaged movement of survivors
- A team backed by significant core funding until 2027 from the Oak Foundation
- A movement making real impact in the UK and building influence internationally

If you are passionate about making sport safer, fairer and more inclusive, and want to use your experience to drive meaningful change - we would love to hear from you.
