Golden Jubilee Trust

Golden Jubilee Trust

The Golden Jubilee Trust funds the donation of time and skills rather than money. It gives our Partners the chance to be seconded to mission-aligned UK Registered charities for up to six months, either full or part-time, ensuring our expertise is directed where it has the greatest impact. 

Our story

Our story

Established in 2000 and becoming part of the Foundation during 2025, the Golden Jubilee Trust funds placements in around 50 charities per year, giving a wide range of causes valuable hands-on support.

So far, over 1,140 Partners have participated and have donated more than 500,000 hours of time. By tapping into this extra pool of resources, charities are able to accelerate mission aligned projects, broaden their reach and have an even bigger impact. For Partners, it’s an opportunity to build transferable skills, while giving back to their communities. After their paid secondment, they can return to their role with no loss of pay or benefits.

How to apply

There are two main application windows; Spring and Autumn. Please note that the Spring 2026 application window has now closed. The Autumn 2026 window opens for mission aligned applications in early August. 

If you would like to promote a mission aligned GJT role to our Partners, please email [email protected].
