Applicants must live or work in Layton or Grange Park, understand local challenges, champion community voices and have experience working with a board to deliver strategic goals. Desirable experience includes working with residents, businesses, community groups or councils, knowledge of co-production and co-design, local relationships, and securing funding streams.
Chair Sarah Lindsay in March said: “Grange Park is not just where I work, it’s where I’m from and where my family still lives. It has shaped my values, my career and my sense of purpose.
“I’ve spent the last decade working with young people and families on the estate, and I know both the challenges people face and the strength of the community. I want this investment to be shaped by local voices and to deliver real opportunities, especially for children and young people growing up here.”
Expressions of interest of up to 500 words should be sent to [email protected] by 9am on 22 May 2026. Applicants will receive full details about the programme and Board responsibilities. The investment will provide £2 million annually over the next decade locally.
