AGE UK Oldham is looking to recruit new members to the board of trustees.

The local, independent charity which aims to improve later life for older people living in its community is looking for people who will be an integral part in their development and stability.

They offer a range of services, products and projects which provide care, information and advice, social and leisure activities and home services.

Their committed and passionate team consists of staff, volunteers and trustees who together, have built an organisation which is highly regarded and works hard in its ambition to face challenges and provide fresh and innovative opportunities for local older people.

The ideal trustee candidates should share the charity's "can do" ethos and passion to support older people in the community, live within reasonable travelling distance of Oldham and available to attend monthly early evening board meetings. They also need excellent communication skills.

For more information contact chief executive Yvonne Lee on 0161 633 0213 or if you are interested in the role and wish to receive a pack email kate.butterworth@ageukoldham.org.uk.
