SongBird Survival is a small national charity with a big purpose: to protect the UK’s songbirds. We fund science-led research, raise awareness and turn evidence into action.
UK songbird populations have fallen by around 50% over the last 50 years. Once-familiar species such as the nightingale and willow tit are now much rarer sights and sounds. We want to change that, and trustees have an important part to play. We are looking for new trustees to join our Board from 2027. You’ll bring your judgement, ideas and experience to help guide our next chapter.
Why join us?
As a trustee, you will help set our direction, support and challenge the team, and make sure the charity stays focused, well run and true to its mission.You will work with other trustees, bring your perspective to Board discussions and, where useful, contribute to subcommittees, working groups or specific projects.
Who we’re looking for:
We welcome people who care about songbirds and can help us think clearly, boldly and practically about the future, who:
We are especially keen to hear from people with skills in fundraising, communications, digital, and PR. You do not need previous trustee experience; we will support you with a full induction.
We are committed to promoting diversity within our board to foster better decision-making and effectiveness. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly younger candidates, and those with expertise in fundraising, communications, scientific research, ornithology, or ecology.
