Charity Trustees

As your local cancer charity, we are at a challenging phase in our development, looking to raise awareness of the support we offer to people with cancer across Huntingdonshire, yet needing to increase income to expand our activities and volunteers.

If you have knowledge, experience, and skills to support HCCN, please apply to be one of our Trustees. An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship is desirable. You will be skilled in influencing, negotiating and networking and must act with prudence and integrity. You must be committed to our aims and be able to be actively involved and contribute your skills to their delivery.

We are particularly looking for trustees with fundraising, marketing/PR (inc. social media), legal or people management skills – but everyone has something unique to offer a charity.

The Board of Trustees meets a minimum of four times per year on Fridays, with additional meetings as necessary. HCCN has 3 paid contractors to manage day to day operations, so being a Trustee for HCCN is a very hands-on role. As a Trustee, you will be expected to contribute actively both in your area of expertise but to also get involved across the whole range of charitable activities. 

The Trustee role is voluntary and unpaid, although legitimate expenses are reimbursed, and represents an exciting opportunity to make a significant contribution to one of the region’s leading cancer charities. Trustees are required to become a member of the Charity.
