Trustees are sometimes called Board Members, Committee member or Governors.
A Trustee plays a key role in a voluntary organisation.
You don’t run the day-to-day activities of the charity, but you do shape and support the organisation. Being a Trustee is a great way to give back to an organisation that you care about, helping to ensure it follows its aims and keeps financially sound.
If you are at least 18 years of age and would like to find out more about becoming a Trustee please get in touch as we will be hosting a information session on Zoom in the future.
Email gaynor@connex.org.uk or enquiries@ddcvs.org.uk

People across the High Peak and Derbyshire Dales who are looking to give something back to their community and support a local charity, are invited to find out more about rewarding opportunities to volunteer in hospice shops.
Blythe House Hospicecare and Helen’s Trust are recruiting volunteers to support their shops in Bakewell, Buxton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, New Mills and Whaley Bridge.
The retail outlets are responsible for bringing in over a quarter of the money needed every year to provide free palliative and end of life care to local patients.
On some days, the shops are not able to open or have to close early due to a limited number of volunteers.
Volunteers at the shops help with a range of tasks including sorting donations, displaying items for sale, pricing stock, managing tills and money, and supporting customers.
