A MEMBER of the public is needed to become a trustee of a new trust set up to support north Essex community groups.

Anglian Community Enterprise, which provides NHS services in Colchester and Tendring, has created the Anglian Community Trust to support community and charity projects with one-off grants.

A board of trustees, including one resident, will award grants to groups which help the social, mental and physical health of local people.

The role would involve working six days a year and would suit people with a financial background who are involved in the local community.
