Age UK Sheffield Trustee
Age UK Sheffield supports older people to live independently, with better health, financial security and strong social connections. As a Trustee, you will help guide the charity’s strategy, ensure good governance, and support long-term sustainability. The role involves working with the Board and leadership team to make key decisions, provide constructive challenge, and act as an ambassador for the organisation. Trustees contribute their skills and experience at a strategic level rather than day-to-day operations.
