The search is on for our next Chair

We are pleased to launch the search for our next Chair of our Board of Trustees to lead our organisation into its next chapter. At the same time, we are seeking three new Trustees. We are grateful to our outgoing Chair Sam Orde for her impactful commitment since 2018. She is leaving the charity with a dedicated staff team, strong finances and a long-term strategy.

Here, Sam talks about the Chair and Trustees roles that are open for applicants until 19 May 2025:

“This is an exciting time to join our Board. We released our latest strategy at the end of 2024, ‘We all belong’. This strategy is the result of a powerful collaboration of knowledge, insight and consultation with disabled people, our partners, and networks. It addresses the major barriers that disabled children and adults face when trying to be active or work in sports and activities.

We all belong in sports and activities. Yet many disabled children and adults do not feel that they do. At school, in the local park or working out in a nearby gym, we all have the right to welcoming, inclusive, and accessible opportunities. The right to choose how we want to be active. Be that taking part, spectating, employment, or volunteering.

We are looking for a Chair and three new Trustees who will add value to our charity and exciting journey ahead. You will bring your expertise and the lived experience to drive meaningful change for disabled people. Two Trustees will be Board-appointed, and one will be Member appointed. Their start times will vary.

By joining the Board, you will support an exceptional team of passionate and dedicated experts. We look forward to working with you and showing you how brilliant our charity is.”
