What our trustees have said:
Chair of Trustees, Mina Malpass says, “I joined Age UK Bristol because I was so impressed with how such a small organisation seemed able to achieve so much. Their success across Bristol has brought so much value to many older people and the spirit of collaboration with a wide range of older people’s organisations across the whole of the city is a great example of the strength of the voluntary sector. It inspired me to want to be part of this lively, vibrant and very local organization”.
Previous Trustee, Geoff Clements also shared his experience, “I was treasurer at Age UK Bristol for some 10 years, and it was always a stimulating experience. I was always conscious that the work the charity was undertaking was vital to the older people of Bristol, and that we had to keep on providing those services as best we could. My fellow Trustees and the staff were inspirational to work with, and it was very rewarding to hear the experiences of those we were able to help.”
We would love to hear from you if you have relevant experience and would welcome the opportunity to help us grow.
