3x Independent Non Executive Director Appointments
Skateboard GB is the UK‑wide governing body for skateboarding – a sport and culture defined by creativity, individuality and belonging. Rooted in community and constantly evolving, skateboarding is as much about expression and identity as it is performance. We are proud to sit at the heart of that movement, supporting skateboarders at every level to Skate More, Skate Better.
Skateboard GB exists to serve and champion the skateboarding community. That means listening to lived experience, creating space for diverse voices, and growing the sport in ways that feel authentic, inclusive and true to its culture. These values are not peripheral – they sit at the core of our ambition and shape the future of our Board.
Over a relatively short period, Skateboard GB has achieved remarkable progress. From meaningful grassroots growth to success on the world stage, the organisation has matured quickly while staying closely connected to the communities it represents. We are now building on that progress with confidence and intent – strengthening our governance, refining our systems and creating the conditions for long‑term, sustainable success, without losing what makes skateboarding unique.
Following a period of reflection and organisational redesign, Skateboard GB has sharpened its focus across both Performance and Community, invested in its people, and reaffirmed its commitment to values‑led leadership. The Board plays a vital role in stewarding this ambition – providing thoughtful challenge, strategic clarity and support as the organisation delivers the next phase of its long‑term strategy and continues to grow in scale, impact and influence.
Who sits around the Board matters.
Skateboarding thrives on diversity of thought, experience and identity, and we want our Board to do the same. We strongly welcome applications from women and people from ethnically diverse and under‑represented backgrounds, as well as from those who may not have followed a traditional Board pathway. If you bring insight, curiosity, sound judgement and a desire to contribute to something meaningful, we would love to hear from you.
We are now seeking three values‑driven individuals to join the Board at a genuinely pivotal moment, bringing different perspectives and expertise through the following roles:
- Independent Non‑Executive Director (Performance)
- Independent Non‑Executive Director (General)
- Senior Independent Non‑Executive Director (Chair of the Finance & Risk Committee)
Together, these appointments will strengthen the Board and help shape the future of one of the UK’s most exciting and culturally influential sports – combining ambition on the world stage with strong governance, financial resilience and deep community connection.
