Trustee Role Description

Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that Age UK Surrey achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that Age UK Surrey has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision:

For people to improve their wellbeing and independence to get the most from later life.

Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable Age UK Surrey to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our aims.

Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.

Duties:

• Support and provide advice on Age UK Surrey’s purpose, vision, goals and

activities.

• Approve operational strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their

implementation.

• Oversee our financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate

• Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect

our interests, to the exclusion of your own personal and/or any third party interests.

• Contribute to the broader promotion of our objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.

There will be times when the trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings. This may involve scrutinising board papers, leading discussions, focusing on key issues, providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, presenting externally, or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board.

• A strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.

You will play a huge role in the social development of the puppy, guiding him or her through training, socialisation, introduction of new environments and experiences, whilst providing a loving home. They are young puppies when they first arrive so all the usual toilet training, chewing etc does occur; but if you can cope with that it is such a rewarding role.
