ABOUT US
Ethics is our foundation. Conway Hall has been a hub for ethical thought and dialogue since it opened in 1929 as the home of what is now the Conway Hall Ethical Society, a membership organisation and educational charity with a history spanning over two centuries.
As an independent home for ideas and culture, we support diverse communities to engage with ethics through learning, conversation, and creativity, exploring the defining questions that shape our daily lives.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Trustee, you will be actively involved in the strategic direction, governance and decision making of Conway Hall Ethical Society, ensuring we stay true to our guiding mission, vision and strategic priorities. You will have the opportunity to apply your own skills, expertise, knowledge and networks towards our vision of a fairer, more compassionate society with ethics at its heart, to help navigate the complexity of being human. You don’t need any prior experience of being a Trustee, training will be provided where needed.
In addition to developing new skills, being a Trustee also allows you to see the positive impact your decisions have on people’s lives, the communities we serve and the direction of our historic society. If you are interested

- Independent judgement and an ability to think creatively
- Good interpersonal and communication skills
- An ability to contribute and engage well with a group of experienced, enthusiastic, and committed Trustees and staff
