The Global Legal Action Network (GLAN) is a unique non-profit organisation that works with affected communities to pursue innovative legal actions across borders, challenging states and other powerful actors involved with systemic injustice.

Our areas of focus:

• Environment and climate change.

• Accountability for atrocity crimes.

• Abuses in value chains.

As a trustee, you will:

• Contribute to the strategic direction and governance of the charity.

• Ensure we remain true to our mission and comply with legal and financial responsibilities.

• Bring your skills, experience, and perspective to strengthen our board.

We are particularly keen to hear from:

• Black and Brown candidates who bring knowledge of, or strong connections to, the Global South. Your insights and lived experience can help us ensure our work reflects diverse perspectives and addresses systemic injustices in a meaningful way. We value cultural understanding and networks that strengthen our mission, and we are committed to creating an inclusive board where every voice matters.

• Candidates who bring expertise in the areas of Impact measurement, Fundraising or Marketing.

• Experience in movement building and strengthening civil society alliances.

• Candidates that will support GLAN to meet an increasingly challenging operating environment in terms of external risks and fundraising.

• Candidates who share GLAN’s values and can evidence a commitment to decolonial practice and anti-racism.

• Candidates who are fully supportive of GLAN’s ambition to create an environment where employees have a strong, collective voice in matters affecting their work and wellbeing.
