Trustee - ASPIE
ASPIE operates as a social, support and therapy group providing vital services and is a lifeline to adults who live with the complexities of Asperger’s.
Who we are
Founded in 2011, ASPIE operates as a social, support and therapy group providing vital services and is a lifeline to adults who live with the complexities of Asperger’s.
Our centre in Worcester is a safe haven where Asperger adults can drop the mask they wear in the outside world and find acceptance, friendship and support to reduce isolation, anxiety, depression self-harm and suicidal tendencies and increase their self-worth and confidence to achieve the social inclusion they long for.
The Role
We need experienced members of the public to join our Board of trustees. We are particularly keen to recruit members of the local community in Worcestershire who have one or more of the following skills:
· A personal or a professional connection to adults with Asperger’s/autism with a good understanding of the difficulties they encounter in everyday living.
· A strong commitment to the charity’s values and ethics
· We are looking for candidates with expertise in governance, safeguarding, charity accounting, HR and PR
Board meetings are held a minimum of 4 times a year at Vesta Tilley House, on Wednesday evenings at 6:30pm – 7:30pm.
