Could you help shape the future of young people in Bolton?
At BACKUP North West, we believe every young person deserves a safe place to call home and the opportunity to build a brighter future.
We are looking to add a youth trustee (under 30) to our board who will also sit on our young people engagement group and provide them with a direct line to the board.
We would particularly welcome applicants with lived experience of homelessness or unstable housing to best represent the young people we work with. But, most importantly, we want people who share our values and are passionate about making a difference.
As one young person supported by BACKUP said:
“It is a lifesaving organisation. I don't think I would be here if it wasn't for BACKUP.”
Could this be your opportunity to make a lasting difference?
No previous trustee experience is needed!
You’ll join a welcoming, supportive Board, share your skills and ideas, and help shape the future of a charity making a real difference to young people experiencing homelessness.

Read here about all the supported accommodation which includes emergency housing, temporary accommodation, short and medium stay supported housing. Also the non accommodation based support work that focusses on mental health, employment support and much more.
Young people can live in more than one Backup service as they make progress and develop more independence prior to moving on completely. The different services are designed to meet various levels and ranges of needs.
