We are currently seeking dedicated volunteer Trustees to join our Board and help steer AFF towards achieving its objectives.
AFF Trustees provide oversight, governance, and support to ensure AFF remains effective in its work and responsive to the needs of the Army community. They help shape the strategic direction of the Army Families Federation, by providing Board-level guidance to the team supporting soldiers and their families, wherever they are in the world, so they are able to live well throughout their Army life.
We are looking for individuals who are committed to the welfare of Army families and who bring professional experience in the following areas:
- Commercial/ fundraising: experience of commercial income generation, fundraising and development strategies.
- Legal: Expertise in legal matters, including governance, compliance, and contract law.
Additionally, applications are welcome from individuals with a connection to the Service community, particularly those from Foreign and Commonwealth backgrounds. We believe that diversity strengthens our ability to represent the full breadth of the Army family.
Serving personnel are very welcome to apply, particularly if currently overseas.
If you have a passion for understanding the needs of Army families and supporting them as they live their lives today, strong professional experience and expertise in your field, a commitment to good governance and the values of transparency and accountability, then you could make an excellent AFF Trustee.
Please note that this is a voluntary, unpaid role.
