Trustee

Active Lincolnshire is a charity that works with local groups and partners in Lincolnshire to help ‘More People be More Active, More Often.’ We focus on supporting those who find it hardest to get involved in physical activity.

We especially want to hear from those who know about the things that make it hard for people to be active in coastal, rural, or less wealthy areas. We are also interested in those who understand the challenges to being active faced by groups such as; women, older adults, children and young people, people with a disability or long term health condition, or people from ethnic diverse backgrounds.

You do not need to have been a trustee or board member before, although if you have experience that would be helpful.

What matters most is your willingness and ability to use your knowledge, skills and experiences in a way that will help our organisation make good decisions and run smoothly. We will give you support to understand what being a trustee involves and help you feel confident in the role.

If you care about helping people in Lincolnshire to be more active, we would love to hear from you.
