Pennine Magpie recruiting new Trustees – various roles
Pennine Magpie is a charity based in Halifax that offers a wide range of activities, experiences and training to adults with learning disabilities.
We are at an extremely exciting time of development and are looking for new Trustees to help us achieve our strategic aims.
We are particularly looking to recruit new Trustees who have experience in the fields of:
- Finance
- Employment Law
- Governance
- Health and Social Care
- Project management
- Adult Education
- Learning Disabilities
You do not have to have a particular professional background to become a Trustee. You may know someone with a learning disability, or care or have cared for someone, you may be someone who believes strongly that all people no matter what their disability deserve to be respected and valued by society. If this describes you, you could have a lot to offer.
Pennine Magpie is committed to promoting equality and diversity opportunities and we welcome applications from all aspects of society.
If you feel you have the experience skills and drive to help us deliver our strategy, please contact amanda.goulding@penninemagpie.co.uk or phone 01422 383550 in the first instance.
We look forward to hearing from you.

Giants of Science at the Victoria Theatre
From the people who brought you the hilarious – 6 Wives of Henry VIII, Living Spit are returning to Halifax, this time to the Victoria Theatre with their new comedy show on Thursday 28 February, 7:30pm.
Howard Coggins knows nothing about Science. Stu Mcloughlin knows even less.
Nevertheless, they have agreed to give a lecture on the subject, and after enlisting the help of the smartest scientific sages of the ages, that’s just what they aim to do.
They’re determined, like a pair of Atoms missing a couple of electrons, to stay positive. With jarring jokes, pitiful puppetry and the silliest of scientific songs, you can expect this raucous romp through the hilarious history of scientific stupidity to be… well, if nothing else, thoroughly entertaining.
It might even be… scien-triffic!
Tickets are available through the Victoria Theatre booking office on 01422 351158.
