The Bird of Prey Project is recruiting for new Trustees, to join our board. We are specifically recruiting for Trustees with a fundraising background, but welcome applications from anyone else who believes they have skills which would benefit our Board.


Our mission is to conserve wild birds of prey, and the biodiverse ecosystems they live in. We work with a team of over 20 birds of prey and owls in a free flight education programme to inspire our visitors at our multi-award-winning centre. Our work as a charity includes community education, alongside active conservation including rehabilitation, wild bird of prey breeding site monitoring, research and habitat monitoring.


A Trustee, as a member of the Board, will:

  • Actively participate in the development of our strategy;

  • Hold the Centre Manager to account for effective management of the charity;

  • Promote and develop the charity to grow our public benefit;

  • Inform the vision of the charity;

  • Ensure the charity complies with its governing documents, charity law, and any other applicable legislation and guidance;

  • Effectively manage the charity’s resources;

  • Manage risk;

  • Promote equality and diversity.


The specific role of a fundraising trustee may involve:

  • Actively participate in the development of our fundraising activities, including fundraising for salaries for new hires to support our growth plans;

  • Write fundraising letters, proposals and funding bids;

  • Develop strong relationships with external stakeholders, including sponsorships and corporate relationships;

  • Research organisations and individuals that are interested in gift giving.
