About this role

One of Southwark's oldest and most innovative charities is looking for a trustee. The time commitment is about one two-hour meeting a month, plus an away day once a year.

About United St Saviour's Charity

The United St Saviour’s Charity is one of the oldest charities in Southwark, with legacies and charitable activity going back 400 years. While proud of our history, we tackle modern problems innovatively.

We do this in two ways. We provide almshouses (such as the historic Hopton’s Almshouses behind Tate Modern), and we give grants to community groups (over £600,000 annually). We’re ambitious on both fronts: we are working with a Stirling prize winning architect to re-think the idea of housing for older citizens; and we want to be more proactive and creative in how we invest our money in ways that build communities.

We have a strong Board of Trustees, chaired by Richard Heaton, a senior civil servant who lives in north Southwark.
