Trustees

The Association for Young People’s Health works to understand and meet the particular health and wellbeing needs of 10-25 year olds. We are recruiting several voluntary positions to join our Board of Trustees and Advisory Council.

• Our vision is that all young people have the best possible health and equal access to high quality youth friendly services.
• Our mission is that we work with everyone to understand and meet the particular health and wellbeing needs of 10-25 year olds. Young people and their rights are at the centre of everything we do.

We are looking for Trustees who have experience of working with small charities and fundraising. We are also looking for members of our Advisory Council who have experience in a broad range of skills including education. All candidates should have a commitment to improving young people’s health and AYPH’s vision and mission.
