Chair of Trustees

Our Second Home (OSH) is the UK’s youth movement for people with refugee backgrounds to build community, become leaders and flourish into adulthood in the place they call home. Through transformative activities, our members take control of their lives and create meaningful change for themselves and their wider community.. We have welcomed over 750 young people from 50 countries to our activities in London, Essex and Bristol.

OSH is at a pivotal point in its development. Over the past few years, OSH has grown from a small, founder-led organisation into a national movement with increasing reach, complexity, and ambition. Our income has risen from £250,000 to £500,000, our staff and volunteer base is expanding, and our programmes are reaching more young people than ever before. OSH now needs confident, experienced, and future-focused Chair of Trustees that can support scaling while protecting the culture, values, and relational way of working that make the organisation distinctive.
