Who we are
Age UK Wigan Borough has been supporting older people in Wigan Borough for over 30 years and we estimate we have worked with over 150,000 older people during this time. We are the largest voluntary organisation for people over the age of 50 in the Borough and are widely respected for the quality and reliability of the work we do.
We are an independent charity and Company Limited by Guarantee and reach the Age UK Quality Standard, enabling us to join a network of 115 local Age UKs.
The role
We have identified the
following gaps among our current trustees:
·
Knowledge
and experience of HR issues
·
Knowledge
and experience of the Wigan/Greater Manchester voluntary sector
·
Knowledge
of Age UK
·
Knowledge
of Finance and Risk Management. In
particular, to sit on the Finance & Risk committee which looks in greater
detail at our financial and strategic risks.
However, we would still be interested in hearing from you if you do not
have any of these specific areas, if you feel you have plenty to offer our
organisation.
We are also aware that we would like a diverse range of trustees and we
currently would like more representatives from:
·
Women
·
People
with lived experience of ageing, caring, disability or poverty
·
Under-represented
communities in Wigan Borough
·
People
at different stages in their career (including early-career professionals)
