About the role
Ashgate Hospice, based in North Derbyshire, offers free palliative and end of life care for adults with life-limiting or incurable illnesses, including cancer, neurological diseases, and advanced heart, kidney, and lung conditions. Last year, we cared for over 2,400 people. Our aim is to support our patients by keeping them informed, managing their symptoms, and improving their quality of life from diagnosis onwards. We also provide vital support to the people who are important to them, offering practical assistance and emotional support, including bereavement services.
To help fund our care, the Ashgate Retail arm operates a network of 19 charity shops across North Derbyshire, along with a number of online selling platforms. These shops not only raise vital funds but also strengthen our connection with local communities and increase awareness of our work.

We are looking for Directors to join our Board, providing strategic direction, monitoring performance, and ensuring compliance with our governing documents. The Board also oversees our shop leases and plays a key role in decisions about renewals and new opportunities.
