Join us as a Blood Pressure UK trustee and treasurer
Would you like to represent the Blood Pressure UK trustee board as our treasurer?
Who are Blood Pressure UK?
Blood Pressure UK is a national charity which was established in 1996. In the UK, 16 million people are estimated to have high blood pressure with one in three (5 million+ people) unaware their blood pressure is raised. Known as the Silent Killer as you can be unaware your blood pressure is raised until you experience heart attack or stroke, or it’s picked up in a random check.
For over 20 years we have been leading the light on people understanding their blood pressure numbers so if needed they can take the steps needed to reduce it. This culminates each year with Know Your Numbers Week! in September, a week-long campaign with a range of partners for people to understand their blood pressure numbers with advice and guidance of how to make vital changes to their lifestyles to change it.
Our Team
Blood Pressure UK currently have a staff team of three (two who are part-time). We contract an external accounting company to provide financial services to the charity including annual accounts, monthly management accounts, payroll, invoice creation and book keeping, making sure the charity complies with relevant governance for the charity commission and companies house.
What we are looking for…
We are looking for a qualified accountant, either working or recently retired with ideally experience of charity financial processes but not essential.
You may have a connection either personally or through family and friends with high blood pressure but it’s not a prerequisite for the role. Your experience and enthusiasm are the key factors we are looking for.
Blood Pressure UK are committed to equal opportunities and we want our board to benefit from the advantages that diversity brings, including different skills, life experiences and backgrounds. With that in mind, in this round of trustee recruitment we particularly welcome applications from people from underrepresented communities including those from South Asian, and Black African and Black Caribbean communities that reflect the communities we work with.

We all age and what we do now impacts the quality of services and, in turn, the quality of life, not only for over 55s today, but also for those who will be approaching this age bracket in future decades.
Our services are already having a big positive impact on the local community, with a relative of one of our Day Centre clients saying, "What a wonderful place the Day Centre is! The staff are all so friendly and caring with the clients. My mum loves going and it's a highlight of her week to spend time with other people of a similar age, chatting and having a lovely time together. Your hard work and dedication is very much appreciated, thank you all!"
We currently provide the following services:
- Day Services
- Help at Home
- Health and Wellbeing Services
- Dementia Services
- Footcare
- Information and Advice
- Community Connections
While we bear the Age UK name, there is an important distinction to be made between ourselves and the national charity. We are in fact a local independent charity that operates in the Bournemouth, Poole and East Dorset area, and therefore rely on donations, grants, and corporate partnerships to support our operations and service delivery.
Our Fundraising and Marketing Volunteers will raise money that impacts the scope of our current services and provision of new services for over 55s in the local community. Responsibilities will include:
- Attending fundraising events and collecting donations on behalf of Age UK BPED
- Distributing our Guide to Services brochures within the local community
- Assisting with the planning and organisation of fundraising events
- Giving suggestions for future fundraising events

Role summary
In this role, you will be helping to ensure that much needed meals get to the right people, connecting cooks and diners in your local area, and assisting with collection and distribution.
If you’re eager to get involved in the Nourish Now Project but are not interested in cooking an extra portion of a meal, signing up as a Connector may be for you.
We’ll provide you with a cool bag, some spare containers and labels. Just leave these out on your doorstep on the agreed day, so people can leave their meals in the bag. You don’t even have to be in! Once you’ve got the meals, we’ll let you know where to drop them, or arrange for someone to collect the meals from you for distribution if you’re unable to deliver them.
We also offer the opportunity to help collect meals from cooks who are unable to deliver directly themselves and drop these to our diners- all within walking distance of you! If you’re interested in getting involved in any capacity, sign up to find out more and begin making a positive impact in your community today!
The Connector position enables you to connect with cooks and diners alike and to build relationships with those in your community. An integral part of our model is not only fighting food poverty, but also developing stronger community ties. A friendly face and a chat can be just as important to our diners as the meal itself.
About us
The Act Now Initiative designs simple, sustainable solutions to the problems local communities are facing. In this role, you would be working on our primary project, Nourish Now, under which volunteer cooks make one extra portion of a meal per week, which is then distributed to people in urgent need of a nourishing meal and of social connection. So far, we have facilitated the provision of over 2,500 meals, using no transport, no extra kitchens, and no extra energy.
Conditions
- Volunteer hours: 1-3 hours per week - timings can be flexible to suit volunteers.
- Location: From your home. UK wide.
- Expenses: This is a community volunteering opportunity.
Responsibilities
- Assist with the collection and distribution of meals.
- Leave a cool bag out on your doorstep, so people can drop their meals within agreed hours one day a week.
- Our meal connectors often drop the meals at a local food hub, such as a soup kitchen, to be distributed. However, if this is a barrier to you getting involved, let us know and we can try to find someone who is able to collect the meals from you and distribute them.
- Support the smooth running of the program in your community.
- Ensure any issues and ideas for improvement are brought to the attention of team leaders.
