Trustee

The hospice is a highly regarded local, independent charity that delivers excellent end of life care and bereavement services to our community. We're lucky enough to have a purpose built facility that offers both Inpatient and Outpatient services alongside care in the home. We cover a large geographical area from the Fens to the North Norfolk Coast, and across to Fakenham, Swaffham, Downham Market and the bordering areas.

Our services are partially funded through the Norfolk and Waveney Integrated Care Board but approximately 70% of our income is generated from our diverse income streams which include community fundraising events, retail, lottery and legacy giving.

Becoming a Trustee offers the opportunity for both personal and professional development and is highly rewarding. You will be part of a team of skilled people who are passionate about giving up their own time for the benefit of others. Full induction will be provided and, while the role itself is voluntary, you may be reimbursed for any reasonable expenses incurred in connection with your role.

Our trustees are responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the organisation, its financial health and the quality, safety and integrity of its activities in accordance with our governing documents and legal and regulatory guidelines. Trustees work closely with our Senior Leadership Team and play a valuable role in the development and sustainability of our services.
