WELCOME
Joshua Pelled
Founder & CEO
Thank you for your interest in the roles we have available for Bright Futures UK Trustee Board
​
Bright Futures UK is incredibly proud of the bespoke and life changing services we are able to offer through our unique organisation. Bright Futures UK mission is to support any young person who's education has been impacted due to medical conditions - our goal therefore is to provide and create opportunities where young people can develop and excel to achieve all goals, regardless of their illness!
​
We pride ourselves on offering tailored support to young people who otherwise wouldn't be able to access the same opportunities other young people can access when education hasn't been affected.
​
In a year and a half, BFUK has been able to support over 550 young people across each of our programmes, partner with 5 of the largest NHS trusts in the UK, grow our team and budget significantly, all whilst developing new programmes for schools and outpatients.
​
This is an exciting time for Bright Futures UK! In the first year of BFUK's existence, we bootstrapped the charity to show proof of concept, now we are on track to become the national charity supporting this issue.
​
2019 now sees Bright Futures UK growing in all areas and a number of exciting projects just around the corner. The board will undergo significant changes over the next few months, having now identified a number of key individuals and skills we are looking to include.
