Trustee Posts – Age Well East

TWO TRUSTEES FOR AGE WELL EAST

Not long ago we were just called Age Concern Colchester, however we are committed to supporting older people to have happier, healthier and wealthier lives across much of Essex, and the new name better reflects our new approach and our wider geography.

Our ambition is limited only by our need to grow sustainably, stick to what we are good at and the needs of older people suffering poverty, isolation and poor health in the East of England. This is an exciting time as we partner with other third sector organisations, the NHS and local government. Our income has grown nearly five-fold in five years and our priorities are delivering on a number of new contracts and ensuring that we overcome the growing pains of medium sized charities.

We want our trustee board to be as diverse as the communities we serve. We only have two essential criteria for our next two trustees, that you share our values and that you live in Essex or Suffolk. We are specifically looking for somebody who can act as vice-chair or somebody who has experience of, or a strong interest in, either raising funds or human resources management. That having been said, we are always looking for new talent and fresh faces..
