Trustees for Charitable Fundraising / Income Generation and Campaigning and Policy

Intelligent, influential, and focused Trustee wanted for game-changing yet embracing charity 
 
A powerful campaigning organisation, Brain Tumour Research is the leading voice of the brain tumour community in 
the UK. Unique and much needed, we are the only national charity focused on finding a cure for all types of brain 
tumours. Our work focuses on campaigning to increase the national investment in research into brain tumours to 
£35 million per year, while fundraising to create a network of seven sustainable Brain Tumour Research Centres of 
Excellence, across the UK.
Brain tumours kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer, yet just 1% of the national 
spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease since records began in 2002.  All of us at 
Brain Tumour Research are passionate about finding a cure for this devastating disease.  
About the role
We are looking to strengthen and complement our Board of Trustees with the addition of Trustees with experience 
in charitable fundraising / income generation and campaigning and policy.
As a member of the Board of Trustees you will play a key role in ensuring sustainable growth of the charity, 
contributing to overall strategic direction and providing scrutiny to our processes and decisions as well as ensuring 
standards of governance are upheld.  
 
This role is pro-bono with Board meetings held in person four times a year in Milton Keynes and Sub-Committees 
held three to four times a year online. You will attend the annual Board away day in person and join one or more
sub-committees. Trustees are given the opportunity to work together through participation at our annual research 
workshops as well as receptions at our Research Centres and parliamentary events and undertake structured 
learning and development. 
Appointment is for a 3-year term with the potential to serve 2 additional terms.

The Skills and Experience we are looking for
The ideal person will have a background at board or senior leadership level and will have significant experience in

communicator and be able to think creatively and strategically and work collaboratively with Board members, the 
Leadership team and key partners.
