Do you love trees, woodlands and beautiful homegrown timber?
Thank you so very much for your interest in becoming a trustee of Woodland Heritage.
We’re delighted that you are looking to volunteer your time and expertise and hope to have the chance to speak with you about the charity and about the rewarding experience of being a trustee.
The charity is looking to recruit Trustees to four specific roles:
Vice Chair / Future Chair
Legal Trustee (including HR and Safeguarding)
Demonstration Sites Trustee
Marketing / Fundraising Trustee
You would be joining a dedicated and passionate group of volunteers and a wider staff group who are developing exciting plans for the charity’s future.
You would have a strong alignment with the charity's mission and values and a significant desire to volunteer your time, and to bring your life’s experiences and skills to the table.
We welcome applications from a diverse range of people and we want to listen to your ideas and benefit from your guidance. If you have any questions about this, please do ask.
If this isn’t the right time or opportunity for you, do you have someone in mind you could share this opportunity with?
Being a trustee at Woodland Heritage is an engaging, thought provoking opportunity to make a difference. You will receive insight and access to remarkable people, amazing woodlands, fine timbers, beautiful furniture, stunning workshops and so much more.

Time commitment, events and meetings
In addition to bi-monthly trustee meetings, which usually take place virtually and in the evening (though a few times per year these will be in person or hybrid meetings for which reasonable expenses will of course be paid), there will be additional time and involvement required to undertake these roles effectively.
Skills & Experience
Supporting you
You will be supported with an initial induction with the staff team. This will be followed by activities to familiarise yourself with the organisation’s activities and your governance role.
Once you have become familiar with these you will be able to get more involved in those things which you find exciting and rewarding.
Along the way you will be supported by the staff team and trustees to make a real difference!
Your application
Applications must be received by 5pm Friday 10th July 2026.
We will contact all candidates to inform them of the shortlisting outcome by Friday 17th July 2026.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited to meet virtually with current trustees and charity staff to answer questions about their suitability for the role and also for you to ask questions about the charity and the role of trustees.
