Emerging Futures began in 2014, born from a belief that recovery is possible for everyone, and that those who have walked that path should lead the way forward.

From modest beginnings, Emerging Futures expanded across the UK, to a growing and diverse team of staff and volunteers, many with lived experience themselves.

Our trustees and non-executive directors play a vital role in making sure that the group achieves its core purpose.

They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that there is a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision.

Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and executive team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs, to enable Thrive Social Housing and Emerging Futures CIC to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.

The Board operates under the leadership and guidance of the chair and works in partnership with the chief executive officer and the executive team.

The role has a three year term of office, with a renewal for one further term to a maximum of six years. You would be expected to attend four meetings annually – two remotely, two in person.

This is a voluntary position, but reasonable expenses are reimbursed.
