a seat on the board itself.

This isn’t a funding role — those are on the partners page. Trustees are unpaid, and there is no board yet to sit on. We’re building one. If you’d bring finance, safeguarding, clinical or charity governance experience, tell us now and we’ll come back to you once the structure exists to put you on it.
