Transition Bath is a long-established environmental charity working at neighbourhood and city scale to help Bath respond practically to climate change. We focus on real-world action: supporting community groups, enabling local projects, influencing decision-making and helping people move from concern to participation.
Like many organisations, we are in a period of transition ourselves. Climate pressures are increasing, expectations are rising and the need for clear governance and effective delivery has never been greater. We are therefore seeking new trustees who want to play an active,
collaborative role in shaping what comes next.
A core principle of Transition Bath is collaboration. Trustees operate in the same way: sharing context, supporting one another and working collectively. We are particularly interested in people with proven, practical experience in one or more of the following
areas:
- finance and financial oversight
- charity governance and compliance
- fundraising and income development
- volunteer recruitment, coordination and support
- technical, digital or analytical expertise
- communications or stakeholder engagement
We are also keen to hear from people who are comfortable leading or stewarding projects: shaping ideas into workable plans, coordinating others and seeing things through from intent to delivery. If you can contribute across several of these areas, we would be especially keen to talk to you.
The anticipated commitment is around 4 hours per week, including meeting attendance, research and contributing hands-on where appropriate.
We are looking for people who care deeply about climate action and understand how change actually happens – through clear decisions, shared
responsibility, sustained effort and collaboration with others.
If you bring solid skills and curiosity, you do not need prior trustee experience. We will support you to apply your expertise confidently within the charity sector. In return, you’ll gain insight into how environmental action works at city scale and you’ll meet people from across Bath in ways few roles allow.
If you are motivated by doing rather than talking and by working with others rather than in isolation, we would welcome a conversation.
The role is unpaid.
