Trustee with finance and business experience

Rowan is an arts centre and forest school for adults with learning disabilities and has been running since 1984. We believe in a world where all people with learning disabilities can participate in the creative arts. We seek to promote wellbeing and eliminate social exclusion, isolation and prejudice.

Using visual and performing arts, Rowan endeavours to provide a safe, creative and enriching environment where adults with learning disabilities, under the direction of artists, craftspeople and volunteers, can grow artistically, as well as in their abilities, confidence and self-esteem – all vital ingredients for independent living, health and wellbeing.

Rowan is looking for new members to join our board of trustees to develop our services so we can offer more adults the opportunity to have the same choice, quality of life, opportunities and aspirations as others.
