38 Degrees is a community of almost a million people who – in a moment away from their busy days – take small actions on issues they care about, which all add up to something bigger, a movement for a better Britain for everyone who calls our country home.
Our community works for a Britain where we all get a fair chance in life and where the place we were born, or the area we live in, doesn’t decide that chance. Where we protect our planet and hold those in power to account for doing the same, and where we are treated, and treat one another, with respect.
We’re from every part of the country and across the political spectrum. We’re funded by our supporters – 95% of our income is from small donations and we have people who give regularly to fund our campaigns in every constituency across the UK.
With some of the world’s most powerful campaigning technology, a creative and dedicated staff team and a powerful movement to change lives, communities and our country, the millions of us who take small actions can each get on with our busy lives, while having an impact far greater than we could achieve alone.
Every time we win together, we move our country a step towards the fairer, more sustainable place we’re fighting for, where we are treated, and treat each other, with respect.
This is a complex and exciting time for campaigning and for civil society. The political and economic landscape is challenging, but also full of opportunities. We work better as a Board if our members leverage their varied viewpoints and experiences as we attempt to grow our supporter base beyond 2 million people.
As Chair of the FCRC you will bring challenge and oversight to our ongoing transformational journey, ensuring appropriate governance of the organisation, overseeing overall strategy, managing strategic risk, monitoring financial performance and interrogating the big strategic choices and high-level decisions about the running of 38 Degrees.
We’re looking for someone who ideally brings some previous board experience and combines strategic and financial expertise with compassion, integrity, and a clear commitment to the mission, and to being an anti-racist organisation.
This is an opportunity to shape our future, working with a highly motivated and engaged team. If you share our commitment to “our values of fairness, respect for one another, and sustainability” and believe you have the experience and qualities we are searching for, we look forward to hearing from you.
