As a few of our Trustees, including our Chair, are reaching the end of their extended terms, Cumbernauld Action for Care of the Elderly (CACE) is seeking passionate individuals to join our dedicated team of Trustees. We are also looking to fill the position of Chair to help lead our mission of promoting and supporting the needs of older adults in Cumbernauld and the surrounding Northern Corridor.

As a charity dedicated to improving the well-being and quality of life for the elderly in our community, we play a crucial role in combating isolation and loneliness. Our mission is to ensure that those we serve feel connected to their community, empowered to live fulfilling lives, and encouraged to embrace new learning opportunities.
