Volunteer as a Trustee at our friendly charity

The purpose of the Centre is to provide food and friendship – via services such as a lunch club, and a range of tailored social activities - to overcome social isolation in the older members of the North Hertfordshire population.

Reasons to volunteer with us:

• This is a role that will allow you to learn how a small charity is run, which provides you with an opportunity to make a real difference in your community. 
• It gives you the opportunity to acquire Trustee skills that can be transferred to other charities or community groups
• You will also learn about the way services that support social inclusion of the elderly are delivered in your area - and even have the opportunity to try out new ideas for improving those services. 
• You will meet new people, and gain new skills through the many tasks involved in organizing a social centre located in the heart of Letchworth.
• You can get involved with fundraising and securing grants, and being a visible part of a valued charity in your local community

We're looking for a wide mix of skills from people who wish to join our Board of Trustees. The following skills would be very welcome: HR and recruitment; finance and accounting; IT skills; running the website, social media and publicity, fundraising skills; charity law.

Typical activities include:

• Regularly attending the board meetings, usually held at the Centre in the evenings.
• Once a year to take part in the AGM, to update the members on the charity's activities and steer its future.
• Whatever best fits your specialist skills - we try to match your area of activity with your knowledge and interests.
