Leeds Children’s Charity at Lineham Farm has begun the search for a new Chair of Trustees as it prepares to enter a pivotal new phase of growth and transformation.

The Leeds-based charity, which supports vulnerable and disadvantaged children from across the region, is reshaping its Board following a comprehensive governance review.

Several new Trustee roles are being introduced to strengthen oversight, build long-term sustainability and expand the charity’s reach to even more young people.

The move comes as the organisation progresses a wider programme of reform, including a full rebrand and significant investment in new fundraising and community engagement roles.

Together, the changes are designed to futureproof the charity and ensure it continues to meet rising demand for its services.

The Board is now seeking an inclusive, values-driven leader to help steer the next chapter. Strengthening equity, diversity and inclusion at Board level is a central priority, with the charity keen to better reflect and represent the communities it serves across Leeds and West Yorkshire.

Chief Executive Sharon Milner said the organisation was entering the next stage of its journey with renewed confidence.

“We look ahead with confidence and optimism, united by a shared purpose – to give more children the chance to learn, grow and thrive,” she said.

“If you share our commitment to inclusive leadership and creating lasting positive change, we would be delighted to hear from you.”
