Transformational Trustee

Vintage Vibes is a multi-award-winning charity (SCIO SC054011) tackling loneliness and isolation in over 60s across Edinburgh. Since 2015, we’ve created hundreds of lasting friendships between 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.

We're proud of our roots and full of ambition for our future. We're looking for new volunteer trustees to help us build strong foundations and dream big. Could you join our team?


Experience required

As a trustee, you'll help us make good decisions, keep our work aligned with our values, and support the organisation to grow with care. At Vintage Vibes, that means:

Strategy – Thinking big and thinking forward - You will support the team in consulting on, developing and delivering our 2026-2031 Strategy to carry out our mission.
Governance – Offering your skills and experience to collaborate as a board to ensure the charity is compliant with our governance and charity law requirements.
Risk – You will be the critical friend that helps the charity to assess, understand and embrace health risk within the operations and planning of the organisation.
Approach - Bringing a positive, down-to-earth, fair approach to conversations and building relationships based on trust, transparency and collaboration.

Training details

Whether you’re a seasoned trustee or have never been on a board before, we’ll support you with a full induction, training, and a 6-month buddy system with an existing trustee to help you settle in and grow your confidence.

We welcome trustees of all backgrounds and identities, and especially encourage people who haven’t seen themselves in this type of role before. If you're values-led, excited by growth, and keen to contribute, we’ll support you every step of the way.
