Fundraising Trustee - Young Climate Warriors

Young Climate Warriors is seeking a Fundraising Trustee to help develop their fundraising strategy and support their mission of educating children about climate change. The role involves advising and guiding the fundraising team to empower young climate warriors aged 7-14. The organization provides resources for schools and families to engage in climate action. This position is based in Henley-on-Thames, United Kingdom.
We are Young Climate Warriors. 62% of the UK’s statutory carbon emission reductions target requires individual behaviour change (UK Committee on Climate Change). Yet there is currently a gap in both curricular and extracurricular activities of age-appropriate, engaging resources on climate change, particularly for younger children. Young Climate Warriors seeks to fill this gap.

We are inspiring a national team of ‘young climate warriors’, ensuring children aged 7-14 (KS2/KS3) can learn about climate change and feel empowered to make informed choices. YCW supports teachers and families with free, age-appropriate, ready-to-use, weekly challenges online, offering creative ideas for embedding changes in daily life. Our ‘Climate Change Club in a Box’ eco-club 'starter kit' - encouraging curiosity and inspires action through engaging and thought-provoking activities. We also offer deeper engagement with schools and students, though in-person visits from locally-based YCW Ambassadors, to date they have shared over 50 interactive assemblies across the UK. We are also a Duke of Edinburgh approved activity provider, and young people join us for a three-month journey of weekly carbon-busting, sustainable living challenges.

As a Trustee you will have the opportunity to help shape our young, ambitious, growing charity. With your 'fundraising hat' on you will help set our Fundraising Strategy and draw on your knowledge and experience to advise, guide and direct our Fundraising team.
