We are looking for new charity trustees to join our board and provide strong governance for Energise Me.
Voluntary Trustee (reasonable expenses paid on production of receipts) | Up to 1 day per month, including four meetings a year (Winchester or virtual).
Energise Me tackles the things that prevent active lifestyles, so everyone can improve their health and happiness by moving more. We are looking for people aged 18 and over to join our board and work with us to achieve our goals.
Physical activity transforms lives. It reduces our risk of developing major illnesses by up to 50% and our risk of depression by up to 30%.
At the moment, almost 370,000 adults in Hampshire and IOW are doing less than 30 minutes of physical activity per week. Over half of children are not achieving the level of physical activity recommended for good health.
These figures include disproportionate numbers of Women, over 75s, people with long-term health conditions or disabilities, low income households and people from Black and Asian communities. This is not equality.
We are passionate about removing inequalities. To achieve this, we need a board of trustees who share our passion and are as diverse as the people we’re trying to reach.
As a trustee, you will help lead Energise Me and keep us on track with our purpose. You’ll be able to ask questions which help us think differently, make suggestions to move things forward, or act as a sounding board for ideas.
We are looking for trustees with skills, knowledge or experience in at least one of the following:
