Could you be our next Trustee?

Cambridge Cyrenians is looking for new trustees to help guide our mission of supporting people experiencing homelessness in Cambridge.

We’re not just about providing a roof. Our community-focussed charity creates supportive houses, meaningful activities, a specialist Older Homeless Service, a beautiful 6-plot community allotment, and a dedicated mental health service. This personalised approach helps people build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.

We’d especially love to hear from people with experience in legal, fundraising, or housing management, but if you’re passionate about making a difference, we’d love to hear from you too.

No previous trustee experience needed. Full induction and training provided.

Minimum attendance of 4 out of 5 board meetings annually.

Contribute to ad-hoc working groups, away days, operational tasks and other events as appropriate.

Voluntary role, expenses reimbursed.

Ready to use your skills to make an impact?

Interested? Great! When you’re ready, please send your CV and cover letter to James Martin (Director) at james@cambridgecyrenians.org.uk
