Become a Trustee at The Bell Foundation

Welcome

Dear Applicant

Thank you for your interest in becoming a Trustee of The Bell Foundation. We are looking to recruit three new Trustees, to drive forward our ambitious new strategy.

The Bell Foundation was established in 2012 and over the last decade has grown significantly and is now recognized as an expert in English as a Second or Additional Language. Our vision is to create opportunities, change lives, and overcome exclusion through language education. We are delivering this vision through two different strategic programmes, targeting children with English as an Additional Language (EAL), and adults who speak English as a Second or Additional Language (ESOL). Through our work we aim to achieve system change to enable better outcomes for many vulnerable groups who use English as a Second or Additional Language, including women who have been trafficked, prisoners, victims of domestic abuse, unaccompanied asylum-seeking children, refugees, adult asylum seekers, children from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, and migrant workers at risk of exploitation.

We are looking for Trustees to fill vacancies due to planned Trustee retirements. We are seeking to diversify our Board and particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups and those with recent lived experience so that our Board is representative of the communities we serve.

If you feel you have the skills, time, enthusiasm, and commitment to join our Board, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
