CARE International is a leading humanitarian organisation fighting global poverty. Founded in 1945, we seek a world of hope, inclusion, and social justice, where poverty has been overcome and all people live in dignity and security. Today, we operate in over 120 countries around the globe to save lives, defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We place special focus on women and girls, because women’s rights are human rights, and we know that we cannot overcome poverty until all people have equal rights and opportunities. 

CARE is non-religious and non-partisan, allowing us to deliver humanitarian and development assistance to anyone in need regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, age, religion, political view, or sexual orientation. 

CIUK, as part of the CARE International confederation has a set of values and feminist leadership principles which guide everything we do.

Halfway through delivering our current organisation strategy 2023-2026, ‘Women Leading change in times of crisis’  CIUK is seeking to appoint up to four additional trustees to our Board and a new Chair of the Board of Trustees. These vacancies have arisen as current trustees and the Chair come to the end of their terms of office.
