Would you be willing to volunteer your time and expertise to join the Hospice as a trustee member of our Board of Trustees? Garden House Hospice Care’s Trustee Recruitment Initiative aims to identify and encourage people who want to help make a difference to those in our community affected by life-limiting illnesses.
We are looking for new trustees to join our Board who are energetic, talented, and committed people, with good leadership, interpersonal skills, used to being in a people-focused environment, and who can formulate and implement strategy. These opportunities reflect our succession policy which encourages a healthy turnover at Board level.

We strive to be an inclusive and diverse Board and welcome applications from members of underrepresented groups.
We are looking for people able to take up the role at any time over the coming six months but if you would prefer a later start date, perhaps due to existing commitments, please still apply now. We are particularly keen to attract interest from people with relevant senior experience from the following sectors:
Finance & Accounting: You will have Financial Management/Accounting experience, helping us to maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs ensuring its financial viability and that proper financial management/records and procedures are maintained. You will have the skills and expertise to analyse proposals or plans pertaining to the development, growth, or diversification of the organisation and to examine the financial consequences of those proposals/plans.
Clinical: If you have experience as a doctor, nurse, occupational therapist, physiotherapist or any other clinical role we would love to hear from you.

RABI continue to apply the guiding principles of our Royal Charter, to provide support to those who are, or have been employed in the farming sector. The 2019 strategy articulates four key strategic aims for the charity:

· Continue to increase awareness of our work and support programmes within the farming community.

Upmo are an Edinburgh-based charity that provides support and opportunity for adults with learning disabilities and autism across Edinburgh, East Lothian and Midlothian. Upmo was founded in 2006 by Josh Barton and inspired by the belief that services for adults could truly be exciting, dynamic and meaningful.
In 2006, adults with learning disabilities lacked opportunities in higher education and there was a lack of understanding around individual needs. Those who understood the needs of service users operated with limited scope to encourage, inspire and motivate. As a result, many service users were isolated and desperately in need of opportunities to become more socially engaged, active and valued.
The response from Upmo was combining progressive learning within an educational curriculum and the development of support service provision – placing the needs of students at the heart of services. Distinguishing themselves by adopting an unconventional approach, Upmo provides custom-tailored support services alongside a well-regarded curriculum featuring creative workshops, educational activities, and vocational programs. The charity has also expanded its impact through a growing number of social enterprises aimed at creating job opportunities and preparing students for employment.
Upmo are looking for a number of committed and motivated individuals, from any background, to join their Board of Trustees and to help steer Upmo through a time of exciting opportunity and development.
As members of the Board, Trustees have the overall responsibility of running the charity. The current Trustees come from a diverse range of backgrounds, and through their wide-ranging and complimentary skills and life experience, contribute to the strategy and oversight of the charity’s operations. Being a trustee is a rewarding experience, which can also offer opportunities for personal development and growth outside of the workplace.
To be considered for this role, you should have strong communication, interpersonal and writing skills, coupled with a proactive attitude towards learning and a collaborative spirit. Additionally, strong analytical and problem-solving skills are key. Regardless of your background, if you embody qualities such as a genuine concern for others, honesty, integrity, and an alignment to Upmo’s mission, we encourage you to reach out for more information.
The Board of Trustees meet four times per year, with every second meeting being held in person in Edinburgh. It is important that trustees allocate sufficient time to read Board papers and prepare for Board meetings. However, this is not onerous, and the time commitment should be no more than 2-4 hours per month on average.

Trustees (Antenatal Results & Choices)
ARC offers a vital service. In the UK, approximately 700,000 pregnant women are offered some form of screening test every year, such as an ultrasound scan and/or a blood test. As a result, over 20,000 expectant parents will be told that their baby may not be developing as expected. This causes a great deal of anxiety and uncertainty for expectant parents and their families.
ARC offers a unique and important support service that provides impartial information, advice and guidance for parents who are making decisions about antenatal tests and results. We do this throughout their journey - before, during and after tests and our services are openly and widely available to anyone who needs them.
Over the past 40 years, ARC has developed into an expert, well-funded and deeply respected charity. This is a pivotal time in the charity’s evolution as we look to continue growing and deepening our impact across the health sector. There are still so many more parents who could benefit from our work, and this is a great opportunity for new trustees to join the extended team.
Trustee opportunities
We are looking for future-focused and compassionate people to share leadership responsibilities with fellow trustees and support Jane Fisher and her team in delivering our excellent services.
We are open to trustees from all backgrounds. However, we are particularly interested in recruiting new trustees who can help us widen our reach and extend our vital support beyond what we do already via our helpline, publications, parent forums, volunteer network and newsletter. You might come from a communications background, have experience working with underserved communities, or have lived experience with the communities we are trying to reach.
We are looking to our new trustees to bring a unique insight onto the board and who share our vision and values.
Previous board experience is not required.
