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 helped families feel supported, informed and connected throughout every stage of their journey.

As demand for our services grows, we are establishing a Development Board to help expand our fundraising and build the partnerships needed to reach more families.

About the Development Board

The Development Board is an advisory group that supports Twins Trust's fundraising by helping to develop relationships with major donors, trusts and foundations, and corporate partners.

Working alongside the Trustee Chair, CEO and Head of Development, members provide strategic advice, open doors to new opportunities and act as ambassadors for the charity. The Development Board has no governance responsibilities, which remain with the Board of Trustees.

• Attend quarterly Development Board meetings (primarily online) and contribute to agreed actions.
• Act in the best interests of Twins Trust, maintaining confidentiality and declaring any conflicts of interest.
