Platform Cricket Trustee

Organisation: Platform Cricket
Salary: n/a
Location: Central London
Contract type: Volunteer (Part time)
Closing date: 23 February 2026
Job Description: We are seeking dynamic new trustees to join our board who, via their skills, experiences and/or networks, can help strengthen and grow our charity and its important work.

ABOUT THE CANDIDATE

The most appropriate candidates will possess a passion for sport/cricket and an appreciation of the difference it can make to people’s lives. They will be familiar with London and will understand some of the social challenges faced by young people living in the city.

Although we have assessed that our Board of Trustees would be most strengthened by individuals with experience in fundraising and/or financial management, we would be interested in meeting any candidates who would enjoy the challenge of transforming a small but high performing and impactful charity, into a larger, more stable and higher profile one. We would particularly welcome interest from individuals who would diversify our current group of trustees, in order to best reflect/represent the diverse communities we serve.

WHY JOIN US?

This is an exciting time for Platform Cricket. We are London’s biggest cricket charity, working with thousands of young people across most areas of the city - including some of the UK’s most marginalised, vulnerable and disadvantaged young people. We have grown rapidly and the successful candidate will play a vital role in consolidating our position, refining our practices and ironing-out any imperfections. We are also ambitious for the charity, and we feel we are at the beginning of several exciting partnerships which would enable our trustees to have a significant impact on cricket in London, and the satisfaction that comes with that.

SAFEGUARDING

Platform Cricket is committed to safer recruitment practices and the safeguarding of young people. As such any personnel who are likely to interact with young people on a regular basis will be expected to undergo a range of checks, including Enhanced DBS Check.
