Trinity Hospice seeks new trustees for its board

Blackpool-based Trinity Hospice is seeking local people to join its board of trustees.

The charity says that it is particularly interested in hearing from people who have a background in accounting, business and finance, or medical or clinical skills.

Trinity’s trustees work to ensure that the charity, which includes Brian House Children’s Hospice, is well managed, delivers on its promises and continues to demonstrate good governance and excellence in all areas of our work.

Nigel Law, chairman, said: "Trinity remains the largest and among the most loved charities in our area. Over the past 38 years, we have derived our success by focusing on what really matters - our patients, our staff and our volunteers and in being responsive to our patients’ needs - we have ensured high quality and compassionate care for them and their families.

“With a new strategy and business plan, we are responding to radical health sector reforms, growing competition and a significantly increasing number of people on the Fylde coast living and dying with complex end-of-life care needs.

"The work involved in being a Trustee is immensely rewarding, providing both expected and unexpected opportunities for personal development.”

Trinity’s Board meets six times a year, and Trustees are also required to commit to joining sub-committees and attending staff meetings.
