Chair of Trustees for Vintage Vibes - #1781721

Could you be the steady hand at the centre of something special?

Are you someone who leads with care and encourages confidence?

Do you bring warmth, curiosity and calm to the exciting, innovative and experimental spaces that you're part of?

Could you be a chairperson who empowers everyone to shine?

Vintage Vibes is an award-winning charity (SCIO SC054011) tackling loneliness and isolation in over 60s across Edinburgh. Since 2015, we’ve created hundreds of lasting friendships between local older people (our VIPs) and volunteers of all ages, transforming lives and communities in every postcode.

This year, we’ve stepped into an exciting new phase: becoming an independent charity after almost a decade of impact within a charitable partnership between LifeCare and Space @ Broomhouse Hub.

Our values are ‘We love doing things differently’ ‘We treat everyone as an individual’ and ‘We’re about real friendships’ and over the past decade we’ve achieved almost 40,000 hours of friendship across the city.

We're proud of our roots and full of ambition for our future. We’re looking for a Chair of Trustees to help build and nurture the culture and strength of our board and organisation.
