About The Forever Trust

is a modern philanthropic organisation and donor-advised fund (DAF) focused on building sustainable, long-term impact through innovative and disciplined approaches to charitable giving and capital stewardship.

Operating at the intersection of philanthropy, governance, innovation and long-term sustainability, the charity is developing a model designed to create enduring impact over generations. Through its donor-advised fund structure, the charity seeks to provide a flexible, forward-thinking platform for strategic philanthropy, long-term giving and responsible stewardship of charitable capital.

The charity operates within a lean and agile environment and is seeking individuals who are comfortable navigating complexity, supporting innovation responsibly and helping shape scalable structures for long-term success.

The Opportunity

The charity is seeking to appoint two Trustees to join its Board and contribute to the strategic oversight, governance and long-term sustainability of the organisation.

This is an opportunity to join a mission-driven organisation operating within a dynamic and evolving environment. Trustees will help ensure the Trust maintains strong governance while supporting innovation, responsible growth and long-term impact.

The charity is particularly interested in individuals who see governance as an enabler of progress rather than a barrier to innovation.

• Provide constructive challenge and independent judgement

• Help ensure the charity operates in line with its charitable objectives and governance responsibilities

Essential Experience
