We’re looking for an exceptional leader to become our next Chair of Trustees — and help shape the future of Little Village.

What began as a grassroots response has grown into a London‑wide baby bank network, supporting thousands of families every year. But with more than one in three children in London living in poverty, our work — and our ambition — has never mattered more.

Over the next chapter, we plan to expand our reach across London and scale our advocacy, including our national leadership as a co-founder of the Baby Bank Alliance, to drive lasting systems change for families experiencing poverty.

As our current Chair’s term comes to an end in early 2027, we’re seeking someone with strong governance experience, strategic vision, and a deep commitment to social impact — someone ready to help lead an organisation with growing influence, reach and responsibility.

We’d love to hear from you if you:

  • Have experience chairing boards, committees or senior leadership meetings.
  • Have strong understanding of governance (best practice)
  • Have experience of charity fundraising and income generation
  • Can commit the time and expertise to play a key role on our Board.
  • Share our passion for tackling child poverty and supporting families.

This is an opportunity to play a defining role in a movement for change.

We are especially keen to diversify our Board and particularly welcome applications from men and people under-represented in charity governance, including those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, people with disabilities, and people with lived experience of poverty.
