Trustee with organisation and planning, event management or marketing skills to join the board of DUO, a small charity which was set up to raise funds to enhance the delivery of care to patients and former patients of the Urology Department at the Churchill Hospital in Oxford and other Oxfordshire hospitals. They have, over the years, been very successful in organising fund-raising events and in collecting donations to provide very necessary medical equipment and amenities for the main ward and out-patients departments and supporting nurse education, all to improve patient care for the thousands of in-patients and out-patients who are treated by the Urology Departments each year.

The Role: we are looking for trustees to work with our existing trustees of DUO, all volunteers, some of whom wish to move aside over the next few years as they are “getting on” in age.

You do not need a background in hospitals or in medicine. You will be expected to bring your own experience to the board and prepare for, attend and actively participate in trustee meetings and support the achievement of DUO’s charitable objectives and help organise fund-raising activities. These have included what are now well-established quiz evenings and sponsored walks etc. but we are open to new ideas for raising funds. Board meetings are held every few months, either at the Churchill Hospital or on Zoom.

As a trustee you will also assist in ensuring that DUO complies with relevant laws and practice and assist in the management of the charity’s resources, ensuring accountability.

 What we are looking for: we welcome all applicants, young or old, who can bring enthusiasm and commitment to the role. You do not need previous governance experience as the existing trustees will pass on the skills required. You will need to live in Oxfordshire.

What difference will you make: the trustee will assist in the promotion of the charity’s objectives and benefit Urology Dept. in-patients and out-patients and the wider community. You will be able to help shape the way we go about meeting our objectives and how they are delivered to benefit individuals and the community.

We are looking to appoint a new trustee with a professional background in charity fundraising to join Yes to Life’s Board of Trustees.

What is Alopecia?

Alopecia simply means hair loss.  There are many types of alopecia, and the charity supports people with all types of alopecia, because the psychological impact can be the same, regardless of cause or type.  The majority of people who contact Alopecia UK have Alopecia Areata, which is understood to be an autoimmune condition.  Alopecia Areata typically appears as patches on the scalp and/or beard. It sometimes progresses to Alopecia Totalis (total hair loss on the scalp), or Alopecia Universalis (total loss of hair from scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes and body).  This dramatic change in appearance, while not life threatening, is certainly life changing.  Altered feelings around identity and sense of self can impact on confidence and self-esteem, resulting in psychological challenges being presented in many everyday life situations.  What does Alopecia UK do?

Support – we facilitate peer support through our UK-wide support group network, online peer support platforms, national and regional events, and one-to-one support given to individuals via phone and emails.  We also maintain a website full of information, advice and support.

Awareness – we educate the general public about alopecia through social media, advice packs, events, our website and podcast.  We support various TV, radio, newspaper and magazine (both print and digital) media articles. We also advocate for the alopecia community amongst healthcare professionals and peer charities, with a view to improving the patient experience.

Research – we distribute research grants and lead our own research, with the support of our Research Committee and Lay Research Panel. We also support various research projects by helping to recruit participants for them.  We build awareness of alopecia research within the general public, the alopecia community and the medical community.

Alopecia UK Staff Team

Following 10 years of being entirely volunteer-led, Alopecia UK moved towards having paid staff resource in 2014, eventually culminating in the Charity’s first full-time employees in 2016.  The Charity opened its first office in the same year.  We now have six employed staff, led by our Chief Executive Officer Sue Schilling. Our staff are skilled, enthusiastic, and passionate about delivering the Charity’s aims.

While we have a small paid staff team, we have a larger overall team, as we utilise a lot of volunteer help in order for the Charity to provide the range of services that it does.
