Baby Bank Network was set up in Bristol in June 2015 to help alleviate child poverty and support families at what may be a time of financial and emotional stress, whilst reducing waste and promoting reuse of items. We collect baby clothes, toiletries, equipment, cots, prams and toys that are pre-loved, and pass them on to families in need. We receive referrals from health visitors, children’s centre and other local professionals who work with vulnerable families.

We are seeking a dynamic legal professional to work closely as part of our Board to maintain an overview of the regulatory environment and our contractual obligations, and support strong governance. You will have experience in charity law, commercial law or employment law. We encourage candidates who can help increase the diversity of the Board so as to make our organisation more inclusive, especially those who have an interest in making a difference to the lives of families in Bristol.

The Board meets approximately every 6 weeks, usually in the evening and via zoom or in person. You may also have other ad hoc tasks to be undertaken in between meetings to provide advice and guidance to the leadership team on specific issues and projects and from time to time we ask Trustees to support the charity in one off fundraising events.
