Are you passionate about equality and the rights of everyone to self-determination, with an understanding of the issues facing gender diverse individuals? We wish to to expand our Board and also recruit a new treasurer.
Beyond Reflections is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation supporting trans, non-binary and gender questioning adults, as well as their friends, families and allies in England and Wales. Our mission is to deliver world-class mental well-being support to the trans+ community, allowing them to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and empowering them to navigate challenges, build resilience, and make healthy decisions about their future.
We believe that acceptance and education are cornerstones in creating an accepting society where everyone can express themselves however they choose. This is why we also deliver support to family members, friends, and other allies, as well as training for organisations.
Our members are at the heart of all we do and every decision we make.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We are particularly looking for a Treasurer to replace our current Treasurer who is stepping down at our next AGM in January.
We are also seeking to expand the number of trustees on our board with skills and experience in areas such as legal, medical, therapy, bid writing, and events, although we would love to hear from anyone who is as passionate as we are about what we do.
We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, especially those who are underrepresented on charity boards. We are committed to creating an inclusive and supportive environment for our trustees, staff, volunteers, and beneficiaries.
