No one should live in poverty. Turn2us wants to stop people falling into poverty and give practical help to anyone struggling to cope. 

Turn2us 
Trustees

Turn2us has been supporting people over the past 120 years; the charity has never been stronger but our work remains vital. Any of our lives can be turned upside down by job loss, relationship breakdown or illness. And too often, we see these unexpected life events trap people in poverty.
Last year alone we helped an estimated 96,000 people gain access to additional income through benefits. On top of this, £3.6 million was awarded in direct grants.

As Board retirements arise and in order to continue to build upon the skills of the Board, Turn2us now seeks to appoint three new Board members with:  

-Digital experience, skills and expertise. Experience of digital transformations, user journeys, data collection and data management would all be advantageous.
-Previous experience of working in the care homes sector at Director level or above.
-Knowledge and networks within Edinburgh – either having lived/worked there. This person will assist on the Committee of the Edinburgh Trust which is run by Turn2us.

If you share Turn2us’ ambition of improving the lives of people living in poverty in the UK, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Turn2us operates throughout the UK and Ireland, is committed to equality and diversity and welcomes applications from all sections of the community.
