Who we are
Our mission is to meet the needs of those living with dementia, their carers, and former carers on the Wirral Peninsula by providing activities and services that help them maintain their social lives in the community.
The role
Dementia Together Wirral currently has a Board of five trustees and is seeking two or three new members, including a Treasurer. The Board works collaboratively with our Charity Manager and small staff team, providing strategic leadership, support and constructive challenge while remaining separate from day-to-day management.
We have grown quickly and now support more than 700 members, with a new member joining on average every day. That growth creates exciting opportunities, but also places pressure on staffing, volunteering, systems, funding and governance. Our priorities include developing services across Wirral, campaigning for better dementia support, securing long-term financial stability, exploring a central hub, and strengthening our people and organisational infrastructure.
As a general trustee, you will help the Board shape and monitor this next stage. We particularly hope you will contribute experience in digital, fundraising, research or law- for example by leading a discussion, joining a working group, advising on a specialist issue or representing the charity externally. You will also have opportunities to visit activities and hear directly from Friends, carers and volunteers.
As Treasurer, you will maintain a Board-level overview of the charity’s finances and chair the Finance Subcommittee, which meets quarterly. Working closely with the Charity Manager, you will oversee the presentation of budgets, management accounts, and annual statements; help ensure there are sound records, controls, and financial policies; monitor financial viability; and advise on reserves, cost management, forecasting, and the financial implications of our strategy and risks.
