This is a fantastic opportunity to use your professional skills to make a real difference in your local community—while gaining valuable Board-level experience.
Age UK East Grinstead & District has been supporting older people for over 75 years. As we look to the future now is a great time to get involved and help shape the charity’s future.
Whether you’re looking to broaden your leadership experience, develop governance skills, or give back alongside a busy career, we offer a supportive and flexible environment.
Skills
We’re particularly interested in professionals with experience in:
· Finance or accounting
· Fundraising/ income generation
· Legal
· HR or people management
· Change management
· Leadership within charities, public sector, or business
However, you don’t need prior Board experience—we’re keen to hear from people who are motivated, thoughtful, and eager to develop their skills.
As a Trustee, you’ll join a friendly and collaborative Board, contributing to the strategic direction and long-term success of the charity.
You will:
· Help guide the organisation’s strategy and ensure it delivers on its mission
· Oversee financial sustainability and good governance
· Use your professional expertise to support decision-making
· Provide both support and constructive challenge to the CEO and senior leadership team
· Act as an ambassador—helping to raise awareness and extend our reach locally
· Prepare for and attend Board meetings normally quarterly
You’ll also have opportunities to get involved in events, projects, or areas that match your interests and skills.
