Trustee vacancies at Women and Children First (UK)

The Women and Children First Board of Trustees wants to extend its range of expertise and ensure representation from our beneficiary counties in Africa and Asia.  We are looking for experts in charity finance and technical experts in maternal, newborn and child health in the developing world – preferably with a midwifery background.

Trustees are expected to attend four board meetings and one Away Day per annum and to join one of our three sub-committees (Finance, Fundraising and Communications, Programmes).   New trustees will bring commitment to both the organisation and Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.

Saving Lives

Up to half a million women and three million newborn babies die each year in pregnancy and childbirth or soon afterwards, the majority of them in Africa and South Asia. For every woman who dies at least twenty more suffer complications which leave them with lifelong disability and pain.

Our unique programmes are saving the lives of mothers and babies every day. We need you to help us to equip women with their most vital survival tool: knowledge.
