Charity is looking for new trustees

CYMRU Older People’s Alliance (COPA) is a national charity run by older people for older people in Wales.

We want to make sure that older people are listened to and their opinions acted on in everything that affects them.

COPA wants to recruit two new co-opted trustees for the board from across Wales.

We hope that if suitable, one of the appointments will become our new Chair after our AGM in the autumn.

The board of trustees guides the direction of COPA as it develops and implements an agenda to forge a more impactful voice for older people, working closely with 50+ Forums in local authority areas.

We are looking for individuals that will increase the knowledge, experience and skills of the board – provide added value – and who are enthusiastic about making Wales a great place to grow older.

We are keen to attract individuals who would improve the diversity of our board.

This is an opportunity to directly influence and contribute to the work of a charity that is making a difference to the lives of older people across Wales.

There is no payment for being a trustee, but COPA will cover expenses.

For more information about the Cymru Older People’s Alliance and about how to apply to be a trustee, your readers can call Kathy Lye on 029 2043 1570, or send an email to kathy.lye@ agecymru.org.uk.

The deadline for applications is April 19, 2021. Steve Milsom Chair Cymru Older People’s Alliance
