Our Board
We have a collaborative
Board of friendly and committed trustees, who, with our principal manager and
staff have established a charity that supports cancer patients and families at
the time they need it most. As we move out of lockdown and into the post covid
times, we are looking for two committed trustees to join our team to support
our mission.
The opportunities

trustees who can draw on their skills and experience to help the Board guide
the charity as it transitions to creating its new strategic goals for the
future. We would welcome applications from:
- Those who are passionate about cancer care and cancer support for
patients and families.
- Those who are committed to improving services within Merthyr
Tydfil.
These roles are not
remunerated. The
expected time commitment is a minimum of 7 board meetings including an AGM, in
addition to attending sub-groups or events where required. Preparation is
required for reading reports and meeting papers ahead of any scheduled meeting.
