Trustees

Big news for Pearls Project: we’re becoming an independent charity.

Pearls Project exists to give women more opportunities to access holistic wellbeing support, safety, belonging, and choice. Our work is rooted in compassionate, relational support and trauma-informed practice, creating spaces where women feel safe, valued, and connected.
​
After many years operating successfully under the umbrella of other charities, and after exploration, reviewing and planning, with the support of our current Trustees, we’re ready to take the next step. To grow and expand the support we offer, and to ensure focused governance and resources that reflect our values and community, we’re becoming an independent charity.
​
We’re looking for new Trustees to join us in this exciting journey.

We’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive board and welcome people with trustee or leadership experience, lived experience, professional expertise, or skills in strategic and systems thinking who share our commitment to seeing women feel valued, supported, and connected.

We're looking for a Chair, Treasurer and board members to join us.
We are looking for:
- Trustees with charity governance experience.
- Trustees who are will be curious and willing to do things in different ways in leadership and practice.
-Trustees who will bring compassionate charity leadership. 

If you share our commitment to seeing women feel valued and supported, and to increasing belonging, safety, choice, and hope, we’d love to hear from you.
