Could You Be a Trustee?

Are you passionate about making a real impact in your local community? Do you want to play a vital role in the fight against pancreatic cancer? If so, you might be exactly who we’re looking for.

The Three Bears Foundation is a small but mighty charity based in York, dedicated to raising awareness of pancreatic cancer, supporting those affected, and funding vital research. We’re growing, and to help us take our mission further, we’re looking for new trustees to join our dedicated team.

Why Join Us?

As a trustee of the Three Bears Foundation, you’ll be at the heart of a charity that’s driven by passion, purpose, and community. We might be small, but our ambitions are big — and our impact is growing every day.

This is a chance to:

  • Make a genuine difference in the fight against one of the UK’s toughest cancers.
  • Shape the direction and strategy – helping us make a real, lasting difference. Always.
  • Use your skills and experience to support meaningful causes and inspire change.
  • Become part of a close-knit, passionate team that supports one another and the people we serve.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome individuals from all walks of life. Whether you have experience in finance, healthcare, marketing, fundraising, governance — or just a strong personal connection to our cause — we’d love to hear from you.

All we ask is that you are:

  • Committed to our cause and values
  • Willing to attend trustee meetings (usually every 6–8 weeks)
  • Ready to get involved and lend your voice, ideas, and expertise
  • Open to collaborating with volunteers, supporters, and other trustees

What It’s Like to Be a Part of Our Team

Everyone involved in the Three Bears Foundation — from our trustees to our volunteers — plays an essential role. Our volunteers help bring events to life, spread awareness, and support our day-to-day efforts. Trustees guide the ship, ensuring the charity is well-run, financially sound, and on track to meet its goals.

You won’t be alone — we offer:

  • Full support from current trustees and the wider team
  • Opportunities to connect with like-minded people and supporters across York and beyond
