We welcome Trustees with a range of experience and backgrounds to further diversify our Board but are particularly interested in expertise in Financial Management, Marketing and Communications, Fundraising/Income Generation, HR and Workforce Development, Change Management, NHS Commissing, Partnership Working Knowledge and AI & Emergent Technologies.

What difference will you make?

Our Trustees make strategic decisions and support the management team in improving the lives of older people living in our communities.  We look to change the way people age by providing information and support when needed and creating a discussion about later life. 

Anything else...

We hold meetings once a month on a Wednesday morning, alternating between online and in person in Harrow
