CPAG has for more than 50 years been the leading campaigner for the end of child poverty in the UK. We make a difference; empowering families with the right advice, influencing the policy debate – especially to reform Universal Credit - combatting unfair social security legislation in the courts and standing up for families and children in the media. Recent policy changes which we have helped to bring about have included the shortening of waiting times for Universal Credit and the introduction of a new child payment in Scotland. We are the largest providers of information and training for those who advise hard-up families across the UK.

More than 4 million children live in poverty in the UK and this is forecast to rise sharply. Only a significant improvement in the UK’s social security provision will address the underlying financial crisis for so many families.

Now you have the chance to play your part in the struggle to end Child Poverty by supporting the dedicated people who work for CPAG. We are seeking new Trustees to support our research and policy work, and our activities in Scotland and Wales. We are looking for two or three people to join the board.

We are open to applicants from the private, public and voluntary sectors, and to those in executive roles seeking their first Trustee role as well as experienced Trustees who have the required expertise. We wish to increase the diversity of our board particularly with respect to representation from black and minority ethnic groups, people with disabilities and experts by experience. We believe that diverse boards are more effective.
