Board Membership

Board Trustee

LFT Charitable Trust

LFT Charitable Trust was established as a family foundation in 2017 to promote and support charitable purposes and activities. LFT has a current portfolio of c.80 grant partners delivering pioneering and life changing projects, advancing health & wellbeing, promoting education and working to alleviate poverty and distress. To date LFT Trustees have pledged over £5m in grants to almost 160 grant partners. Funds worth £4.5m have been disbursed. Alongside five family Trustees, LFT benefits from the expertise and contribution of two independent Trustees. We are now looking to expand our Board with the appointment of an additional Trustee. If you are passionate about supporting grassroots organisations and feel you have the experience to make informed decisions on how best to direct funding, then this could be an ideal opportunity for you.

To enable us to continue awarding grants to dynamic and ambitious grant partners we are looking to invite a new Trustee to join our Board.

Key Qualities

  • Committed, engaged and involved;
  • Influential yet discreet and unobtrusive;
  • Ability to challenge with good intent;
  • Willing to have an informed debate at meetings;
  • Strong analytical skills.

We place a great deal of importance on the personal relationships that we develop with our partners and field visits to them by Trustees are an important element of our work. That’s why we suggest that the time commitment includes two half days per month for Trustees to visit, learn from our grantees and underscore LFT’s support for them.

All applications for funding are considered by the full LFT Board and ensuring a wide range of interests are represented in our Trustees enables us to support a more diverse range of projects with confidence.

New Trustees will be encouraged to bring forward their own suggestions as to priority themes that can be developed.
