Job Description

The Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Fund (LUTSF) was established in 1987 in memory of dance pioneer Lisa Ullmann.

By supporting international mobility, we foster creative and cultural exchange.

LUTSF is a registered charity (no. 1203903) and we are delighted to be seeking additional Trustees to include a Chair. We are looking to hear from individuals with the vision, ambition, and influence to support the Fund in the next phase of its journey.

Trustees attend two meetings per year in central London. Meeting dates and locations are set with considerable notice, taking into account the availability and preference of all trustees. This is an unpaid, voluntary role but any expenses incurred will be reimbursed.
