Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees, Rimani House Companionship Centre, 14-16 Hall St, Halifax HX1 5BD
We are seeking new members for our Board of Trustees. With a proven track record, you will be a strategic thinker, with the time and skills to commit to this important role. The role is very much strategic, rather than operational.
About the Organisation
Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees is a local charity, affiliated to the national charity Age UK, which came about through the merger of Age Concern and Help the Aged. We are responsible for choosing and funding all of the services we provide locally.
We help older people by providing practical, reliable services, letting you live the independent life you want and giving your family the peace of mind, knowing that you are being well looked after.
Time commitment is approximately 3-4 hours a month. We meet as a full Board, and in separate sub-committees, every three months. Some meetings are online and others in person. Engagement between meetings is generally by email.
