Thank you for your interest in joining the Lace Board.
To learn more about our work, values and future plans, please read our Strategic Plan and our ESG page.
Our Board members bring a variety of professional and community experience - from housing, health, and finance to social care and local leadership. You don’t need previous board experience - what matters most is your integrity, insight and enthusiasm for making a difference.
Please complete the short form below and tell us a little about yourself. Once we receive your details, we’ll be in touch to discuss your interest and next steps.
Lace is a values-led organisation. Our Board plays a key role in setting culture, modelling behaviour and ensuring our values are lived through strategy, policy and decision-making.
Board members are expected to act with kindness, integrity and openness; to keep people safe; to work collaboratively; and to support a culture of learning and improvement.
Lace Board members provide strategic leadership, oversight and constructive challenge — helping ensure we remain well-governed, financially strong and focused on residents.
Board members do not manage day-to-day operations. Instead, they work collectively to set direction, oversee performance and hold the executive team to account.
In practice, this means Board members commit time, insight and independent judgement to the following core responsibilities:
Strategic decision-making and oversight.
Attendance at Board and committee meetings.
Preparation, reading and informed challenge.
Acting as an ambassador for Lace when appropriate.
