Overview

Every day, The Shakespeare Hospice makes a difference to the lives of local people living with a life-limiting illness, and to those who matter most to them.  We are now seeking a new Trustee to help us shape the future of this vital work.

Based in Stratford upon Avon, we offer services across South Warwickshire and the surrounding areas.  Our aim is to ensure that people living in our community with a life-limiting illness, and their family and friends, are supported with the care and compassion they deserve.

We are now looking for a new Trustee who shares a passion to serve our community and who can help us ensure that we are able to deliver our services today, tomorrow and for always. This is a voluntary role, working alongside fellow Trustees, the Senior Leadership Team and our Chief Executive to ensure the Hospice continues to thrive in today's challenging environment.

We welcome applications from individuals who can bring professional expertise in one or more of the following areas:

  • Fundraising strategy and donor engagement
  • Corporate partnerships and sponsorship
  • Charity retail
  • Trusts and foundations

Strong local connections in Stratford upon Avon and the wider area would be especially valuable.

As a Trustee, you will bring your professional insight to provide oversight, challenge and support.  Just as importantly, you will share our Hospice values: compassion, community and commitment.

The time commitment is around one day per month, including four Board meetings, at least one strategic planning day, the AGM and participation in one of our committees.  Trustees also enjoy attending Hospice fundraising events and engaging with our local community.

We are committed to building a diverse Board that reflects the community we serve. We particularly welcome applications from younger people, people with disabilities and candidates from black and minority ethnic backgrounds.
