About the organisation
Willowbrook Farm Charity is rebuilding and growing. We are rooted in a working farm in Oxfordshire and welcome people from across the UK to take part in hands-on learning and nature connection. Our work supports wellbeing, reduces isolation, and nurtures responsible Earth stewardship through practical education in sustainability and biodiversity.
We are looking for new Trustees to join our Board and help guide our next chapter. Visit our website to learn more about us and our projects.
What you’ll be part of
As a Treasurer, you will help ensure Willowbrook Farm Charity is well-governed, financially resilient, and able to deliver meaningful, inclusive programmes. You’ll play a key role in shaping our direction, strengthening our foundations, and helping more people access the benefits of nature, community, and ethical learning.
About the role
Trustees are collectively responsible for the charity’s governance. You will:

- Contribute to safeguarding, equality, health and safety, and GDPR oversight
- Champion the charity’s mission and act as an ambassador in your networks
- Support fundraising and sustainability, for example, introductions, advice, and scrutiny
- Attend Trustee meetings and contribute to decisions and actions between meetings
You do not need prior Trustee experience. We will support your induction and learning.
