Hospice reveals plans to recruit new trustees

Lindsey Lodge Hospice has revealed a recruitment opportunity for volunteers to play a key role in driving it forward into the future.

The Scunthorpe Hospice is set to increase the number of its six-strong Board of Trustees, which oversees the strategic development of the charity.

Trustees will need to attend four board meetings a year and are also likely to be appointed to one of the hospice’s five sub-committees which also meet quarterly.

Lindsey Lodge Hospice Chairman Andrew Horwich said: “This is an exciting opportunity for individuals with the relevant skill set and values who may wish to contribute and support us in delivering our strategic agenda on a voluntary basis.

“We are looking for new trustees who can bring a fresh approach, have the vision and commitment to support the continuing development of Lindsey Lodge Hospice and ensure it continues to meet the needs of its local community.”
