City Bridge Foundation

At City Bridge Foundation we are one of the oldest and largest endowed charitable trusts in the country with the unique responsibility to maintain and support five bridges crossing the River Thames – Tower Bridge, London Bridge, Southwark Bridge, Millennium Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge. Beyond our primary purpose to maintain and support the bridges, in the last 30 years we have also supported Londoners experiencing disadvantage and marginalisation, helping them to thrive through the distribution of over £840m of charitable funding.

City Bridge Foundation has always existed, and continues to exist, for the benefit of London. We are anchored by the needs of London’s communities – those in the capital at any given moment in time, whether living, working or visiting here. The Board is responsible for the day-to-day governance, management and administration of  City Bridge Foundation. We are also responsible for the furtherance of the charity’s objects – the maintenance and support of the bridges, and the distribution of income surplus to that required for the bridges for charitable purposes across Greater London.

We are looking to appoint a Co-opted Member of the Board with expertise in bridge-building/maintenance (from an engineering or construction perspective). You will bring specialist skills that will complement the existing Board of twelve Members, who are either elected from the Court of Common Council, the governing body of the City of London, our corporate Trustee, or are other external Co-opted Members. We are looking for a Board member who shares our passion for London and stewarding this key element of our heritage, and who is committed to embedding Climate Action and Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in everything we do.
