**To celebrate its centenary the Joseph Rowntree Charitable Trust (JRCT) is looking
for six visionaries who have the vision to shape a better, more just and peaceful
world.**

The JRCT says that it is looking for six people “who share our values, who believe
that they can make the world – or part of it – more just and more peaceful: six 
visionaries who are convinced that change is possible.” Specifically they are looking
for big ideas that address the trust’s key themes of justice and peace.

The six selected visionaries will be given support by the trust for five years, 
to help them achieve their ambition. “This means a salary, continuing support and
the minimum of interference,” says the trust.
