St Luke’s (Cheshire) Hospice wants local people to help shape its future.
South Cheshire businessmen and women and health and social care professionals are invited to get involved.
The charity, which provides care and support to Nantwich residents suffering from cancer and illnesses, is searching for volunteer Trustees to help develop the work of the hospice.
St Luke’s interim chief executive Jeremy Hilliard believes the role is an exciting opportunity, which has been backed by South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce and Congleton MP Fiona Bruce.
Mr Hilliard said: “So many local people have either been directly linked with the hospice or know someone who has been.
“So we’re looking to those who can offer their skills and provide strategic direction whatever their background, be it in the health care sector, accountancy, administration, IT, retail, or any other.”
Trustees are required to attend monthly board meetings and committee meetings to review activity.
Trustees recently saw the completion of their latest project – the opening of the new Nantwich creperie on Pillory Street.
They will also work on major fundraising activities such as the annual Midnight Walk.
Paul Colman, South Cheshire Chamber of Commerce acting chief executive, said: “There is an enormous array of skills and expertise across the South Cheshire business community and this is fantastic opportunity to support and direct the invaluable work of the hospice in order to take it to the next level.”
MP Fiona Bruce added: “Business people have a tremendous amount to offer organisations like St Luke’s Hospice – but often they don’t realise it.”
