Support Us
As a trust, we depend on the active involvement of people across our community, as volunteers, trustees or fundraisers.
Volunteers
We are always keen to welcome volunteers to help us deliver a truly community-centred service. Our volunteers spend ‘quality time’ with service users, helping with activities and outings.
The Trust encourages Service Users to join in with community activities and to build relationships with family and friends.
Trustees
We are always keen to meet new potential trustees to join our Board and help direct the activities of the Trust.
The ideal trustee is someone with a genuine desire to help guide the Trust towards achieving its mission, and to ensure we are effectively managed. The qualities we look for are strategic vision, independent judgement, an ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak your mind.
For more information about the role of a Trustee, please refer to the Charity Commissions website, or email us.
Fundraisers
Would you like to support our work by helping us raise funds? We are keen to work with members of our local community to organise Fundraising events throughout the year, as well as improving awareness of the Trust within the local community.

There are three different ways of leaving a gift to St Christopher’s Trust in your will:
- ■ A share/whole of your estate (residuary legacy)
- ■ A sum of money (pecuniary legacy)
- ■ A particular item (specific legacy)
