About Twins Trust

Twins Trust is the UK's charity dedicated to supporting families with twins, triplets and more. For over 50 years, we have been ensuring that families feel supported, understood and connected throughout every stage of their journey.

As demand for our services continues to grow, we are looking for influential and well-connected individuals to join our newly established Development Board and help us build the partnerships that will enable us to reach even more families.

About the Development Board

The Development Board is a high-level advisory group established to help Twins Trust significantly grow its fundraising income.

Members are appointed primarily for their ability to open doors to major donors, senior business leaders, corporate partners and philanthropic networks. Working alongside the Trustee Chair, CEO and Head of Development, Development Board Members use their influence, relationships and experience to create opportunities that lead to transformational support for the charity.

The Development Board has no governance responsibilities, which remain with the Board of Trustees.

The role

As a Development Board Member, your primary contribution will be your network, influence and ability to make strategic introductions that help Twins Trust secure major funding.

We are looking for people who can actively connect the charity with high-net-worth individuals, business leaders, trusts, foundations and other influential supporters.

Key responsibilities

As a member of the Development Board, you will:

• champion Twins Trust within your professional and personal networks.
• use your personal and professional networks to identify and introduce prospective high value supporters.
• champion Twins Trust within your networks and identify opportunities to raise its profile.
• support and attend fundraising events where your presence and introductions can help generate support.
• share strategic advice, insight and expertise to help shape fundraising plans and opportunities.
• attend quarterly Development Board meetings (primarily virtual) and contribute actively to discussions and agreed actions.
• make a personal commitment to supporting Twins Trust's mission through advocacy and engagement.
• act in the best interests of Twins Trust and maintain appropriate confidentiality.
• declare any actual or potential conflicts of interest.

About you

We welcome applications from people with a range of backgrounds who can help expand our reach and fundraising potential. We are particularly interested in hearing from senior leaders and well-connected individuals who can help Twins Trust access new funding opportunities.

This could include current or former CEOs, Chairs, founders, entrepreneurs, senior executives, philanthropists or individuals with extensive networks across business or philanthropy.

Ideally, you will have:

• a strong personal commitment to the mission of Twins Trust and an understanding of the unique experiences of families with multiples.
• an established network of senior business leaders, philanthropists, high-net-worth individuals or corporate decision-makers.
• the confidence to make introductions and act as an ambassador for the charity.
• strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• strategic thinking and a collaborative approach.

Previous charity board experience is welcomed but not essential.

What you'll receive

As a Development Board Member, you'll benefit from:

• the opportunity to make a meaningful difference to thousands of families with twins, triplets and more.
• close partnership with the Twins Trust CEO, Head of Development and Trustee Chair.
• a dedicated member of the Development Team who will support you in your role.
• briefings, fundraising materials and organisational updates.
• the opportunity to use your expertise and networks to create lasting social impact alongside a passionate and committed team.

Time commitment

• Quarterly Development Board meetings (primarily online)
• Attendance at occasional Twins Trust events where possible
• Time between meetings to make introductions, support fundraising activity and engage with opportunities, averaging around 4–6 hours per month

Terms of appointment

Appointments are for an initial two-year term, with the option to renew for a further two years following an annual review conducted by the Chair.

Diversity and inclusion

Twins Trust is committed to building a diverse and inclusive Development Board that reflects the communities we serve. We actively welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, identities and lived experiences.

Together, we can help ensure every family with twins, triplets or more receives the support, understanding and community they deserve.
