TRUSTEE VACANCIES – AGE UK PLYMOUTH
Age UK Plymouth has an exceptional reputation for delivering a range of high quality and relevant services to older people and their families living in the city. Like many charities, the last few years have presented a number of challenges, but healthy reserves and a committed and engaged Board of Trustees mean the charity has been able to navigate these and is now looking to the future with a renewed sense of purpose and energy.
Their new CEO is working closely with the Board to determine future strategy, so this is, absolutely the right time for new Trustees to join and be part of this. The charity seeks to increase its number of Trustees in addition to replacing a couple who have retired. I have the privilege of being asked to support this search.
We are naturally interested in speaking to people who are passionate about improving later life for everyone in Plymouth, who can bring experience and insight in the areas of financial strategy, fundraising and service design. The Board meets four times a year and each Trustee is asked to join a relevant sub-committee. In addition, time will be needed for reading board papers, attending strategy days and, of course, other ad hoc projects you might wish to be part of.
Please take a moment to read the full information pack and feel free to contact me to talk about this opportunity and trusteeship in general. (jackie@shinecharityrecruitment.co.uk)
Trustee Role with CentrePeace – Paignton
This small charity plays an essential role in their local community, a place where people can find warmth, friendship and help, whatever their age or socio/economic status.
The small staff team and brilliant volunteers are based at their HQ in Paignton where you will also find the café, charity shop and counselling rooms. The charity provides vital support through their counselling services, community workshops, and groups, or simply by accessing the café as a safe and welcoming space or the shop for low cost clothes, toys and household items.
Their reach extends far beyond the immediate vicinity, demonstrating the critical need for their services. While many come from Paignton, some travel from Torquay, and others come from elsewhere across the bay, highlighting CentrePeace as a regional beacon of support. People come to them by personal recommendation from family or friends, with the remainder being effectively signposted by local GP surgeries, social prescribers, mental health agencies, social services, and other community organisations.
I am now working with the charity to support their search for new Trustees. If you a have been inspired by their passion and commitment to their community and would like to be part of their future, I would be delighted to talk to you further about this opportunity.
