Join Our Board of Trustees

“Help shape the future of cancer care in the UK”

At Yes to Life, we believe that everyone affected by cancer deserves access to trusted information, compassionate support and the opportunity to make informed choices about their care. 

For more than 20 years, we’ve been at the forefront of integrative cancer care, supporting thousands of people through education, wellbeing programmes, peer support, professional training and evidence-informed resources. 

As we look towards the future, we’re seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the charity through its next phase of growth and development. 

Why become a Trustee? 

Being a Trustee is an opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to a national charity that is changing lives every day. 

Working alongside a committed Board and CEO, you’ll help shape our strategy, strengthen our governance and support our mission to ensure that everyone affected by cancer has access to the support and information they need to live well. 

You’ll also have the opportunity to contribute your professional knowledge, broaden your leadership experience and be part of a charity that is ambitious, collaborative and driven by purpose. 

Who are we looking for? 

We’re looking for people who are passionate about making a difference and who are willing to contribute their skills, experience and strategic thinking to the future of Yes to Life.
