We are pleased to announce that Ukrainian Institute London is seeking to appoint two new Trustees to join our Board and help shape the next phase of our development.
As a Trustee, you will help shape the strategic direction of the organisation, ensure strong governance, safeguard UIL’s independence and integrity, and support its long-term sustainability. Trustees also act as ambassadors for the Institute, helping to build relationships, raise our profile, and support funding and partnership opportunities.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
Knowledge of Ukraine and its place within wider European and international cultural contexts
Fundraising and income generation (trusts and foundations, major donors, corporate sponsorship, individual giving)
Developing or supporting fundraising strategies
Charity governance and trustee experience
Arts, culture, heritage, or international cultural relations
Finance, law, organisational development, or strategy
Communications, marketing, partnerships, or audience development
Digital engagement and organisational sustainability
We value a wide range of perspectives and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds.
Time Commitment
Four Board meetings per year (approximately 2 hours each), plus preparation time
Review and input into key governance documents
Support for fundraising and strategic development
Attendance at key UIL events where possible
Occasional representation of UIL at partner meetings or public-facing events
Overall, the commitment averages approximately 1–2 days per month and can fit alongside other professional commitments.
This is a voluntary and unpaid role. Expenses are not reimbursed.
This is a meaningful opportunity to contribute to a leading cultural charity working to promote Ukrainian culture, knowledge, and dialogue in the UK and beyond.
