  • Creative thinking and problem solving
  • An understanding of legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship

The responsibilities include:

  • Leading an AGM with the CEO, once per year
  • Participate in the Finance Sub Committee
  • Visit services
  • Correspond by email and make decisions between meetings.
  • Attend other activities and fundraising events.

Other voluntary roles

There are many potential voluntary roles to suit different personalities and skill sets. We can guarantee that you will find life exciting and that every day will be different!

We welcome caring volunteers with some time to spare who would like to come and spend time enhancing the lives of our residents. This could involve chatting with residents, helping out with gardening at our residential home or supported living accommodation, sharing your interests, skills, accompanying residents on short walks and befriending opportunities in the community.

We are always open to new ideas and suggestions to increase our range of activities.

Beehive Care is run by an Executive Committee consisting of Charity Trustees. Our volunteer Trustees come from many walks of life, but all share an interest in enhancing the quality of life for older people in a happy, supportive environment. They often enjoy the challenge of becoming involved in an organisation which is well integrated into the local community and interested in improving the lives of local older people.
