New trustees are being recruited to play their part in making a difference to local hospice care. 

Blythe House Hospicecare and Helen’s Trust provides care and support to patients and families across the High Peak, Derbyshire Dales and North East Derbyshire. 

The charity is seeking to recruit passionate and committed new, voluntary trustees to its board, to help shape future strategy and direction for growth. 

Tim Mourne, a trustee since 2013, and chairman of the board since 2014 said: “It is a fantastic voluntary opportunity for those who are keen to use their skills and experience, whether professional or personal, to make sure Blythe House Hospicecare and Helen’s Trust can continue to serve our local communities, and to grow the excellent care that it provides. 

“The most effective boards are those that benefit from input from individuals across a diverse range of backgrounds, experiences, and skill sets.  

“We are particularly interested in applicants with skills in fundraising, retail, finance, business, marketing and PR.” 

Trustee Sarah Rowland said: ‘It is really rewarding to be part of a small, local charity because you can see the difference that the team makes to people in our community who need support at a difficult time.” 

No prior experience is necessary to become a trustee at the hospice. You will be required to attend a board meeting and the relevant sub-committee meeting on a quarterly basis.
