Can you help? Become a Trustee!
We continually welcome Expressions of Interest (EOIs) from individuals who are interested in joining our Board of Trustees and helping to lead our work and shape the future of the fund.
Our trustees play a vital role in deciding where our funding goes, how we support communities, and how we protect the fund for the future. This is a hands-on governance role - trustees also help assess and score grant applications, bringing their experience and insight into our funding decisions.
What we’re looking for:
We want people who care about Ynys Môn and are ready to get involved in shaping its future. You could bring:
- Skills in areas like finance, law, governance, or community development.
- Lived experience of the challenges and opportunities facing our island’s communities.
- A commitment to fairness, transparency, and independent decision-making.
You don’t need to have been a trustee before - training and support will be provided.
We welcome applications from all backgrounds and want our board to reflect the diversity of the island.
Commitment
- Around six meetings per year (a mix of in-person and online), each lasting 2–3 hours.
- Review papers and assess funding applications in advance (approx. 8–10 hours a month, depending on the numb of applications received)
- Occasional visits to funded projects or community meetings
Why join us?
- Influence how funding is invested in Ynys Môn
- Learn about governance, grantmaking, and community priorities
- Work alongside people with a shared passion for our island’s future
- Make decisions that have a direct, positive impact on local people

Please send us your CV and/or a short covering letter telling us:
