What will you be doing?
Changing Lives Together is a charity with a simple purpose. At Changing Lives Together, supporting our local community in Cheshire is at the heart of everything we do. Whether it’s providing affordable groceries, transport, or a listening ear through our befriending service, we’re here to make life a little easier for everyone.
Our Trustees help guide the strategic direction of a charity that delivers:
- Community groceries offering affordable food with dignity
- Reuse, recycling and retail projects that cut waste and support local families
- Community transport that keeps people connected
- Training, volunteering and employment pathways
- Practical support that improves wellbeing and reduces isolation
Your Commitment
We ask trustees to commit around one day per month, which includes:
- Monthly board meetings (in person and remote alternating)
- Leadership of a committee covering a key area (e.g., H&S, Finance or Governance)
- Occasional project involvement based on your skills and interests
- Essential training and an Enhanced DBS check
We provide a friendly, structured induction so you can get to know our work, our people, and our ambitions. Our Leadership Team is experienced and highly capable. Our trustees provide strategic leadership, governance and act as ambassadors for Changing Lives Together. Hands‑on involvement in the charity is very much up to you but not required.
