Posted on: September 1st, 2023

Engage with Age is recruiting trustees to join its board. Can you spare
some time to help us improve lives for older people in Belfast?

Engage with Age seeks to empower older people to lead happy, healthy,
independent, and more connected lives. As a registered charity, Engage
with Age has a board of trustees that is responsible for making sure the
charity provides good benefits to the community. The Trustees’ work
includes helping to develop a strategy for the organisation and
supporting and seeing that this strategy is delivered.

Engage with Age also seeks to recruit a new Treasurer on its board of
trustees.

Trustees with Engage with Age meet five times per year to support the
charity’s ongoing work. Trustees also meet as members of sub-
committees working on finance, governance, and operations. The
Trustee role is voluntary though reasonable out of pocket expenses are
paid.
