Future Projects

04/06/2026

We are looking for two new trustees to join our board and help us build on our impact.

We run three interconnected services: community support and advice, a specialist school for children with SEND, and Future Radio - Norwich’s community radio station. Last year alone we delivered 1-to-1 support for over 1,000 people in need, supported 44 children with complex SEND, and had 39,000 people tune in to Future Radio each month.

We'd particularly welcome experience in HR, Education (especially SEND), or Operations - but if you have something valuable to bring to a purpose-driven board, we'd love to hear from you.

For more details please message: [email protected] or apply below.

Trustees play a vital governance role - ensuring Future Projects remains true to its mission, financially sound, and well run.

Local people know their communities best.

That’s why we’re really pleased to share this opportunity to apply to join the Pride in Place Neighbourhood Board, helping shape long-term investment and positive change in the local area.

At Future Projects, we believe in listening to communities, understanding people’s needs, challenges and strengths, and building services around what people say matters most. Pride in Place is a real opportunity for local communities to lead the conversation and help decide what happens next.

You don’t need previous board experience, and support and training will be available. What matters most is your connection to the area, your ideas, and your commitment to making it an even better place to live.
