Trustee

We’re looking for trustees with Philanthropic / Artistic / Corporate Sector expertise to join our board from mid-2026.

We’re looking for a trustee with first-hand experience of philanthropy – someone who has been involved in giving, attracting or overseeing philanthropic support at a senior level. This might include experience in an arts organisation or another charity, personal experience of philanthropic giving, or leadership of donor campaigns. We need to increase our fundraised income back to pre-pandemic levels, through a mix of regular individual giving, support from trusts & foundations, and major donors.

We are also looking for a trustee who has worked in an artistic capacity within the creative industries, either in the UK or internationally. This could be as a performer, a programmer, a composer, or another creative role. We’re looking for someone who can support our Programming Committee, contribute to our long-term artistic strategy and champion the kind of creative risk-taking that we’re known for, while remaining true to our values and audiences.

Finally, we’re looking for a trustee with professional experience from outside of the arts industry. While our arts industry colleagues are deeply valued for their knowledge and expertise, we want to ensure we’re bringing insights and ideas from other sectors. This trustee will help us test assumptions, introduce different ways of thinking and apply learning from elsewhere to strengthen our governance, resilience and long-term sustainability.

If this isn’t you, but your interest has been piqued, drop us a line anyway. We’re always interested to meet new people, and it could be that your set of skills and experiences are perfect for us, and we just haven’t realised. We’re big on learning, so tell us what you can bring.
