Volunteer Trustee with experience of financial management and strategic planning | Theatre Sans Frontieres

An opportunity to join a well established arts organisation which seeks to explore how creativity can bring delight and improve self-confidence and wellbeing. We aim to reach young and old who don't usually have access to such opportunities.

What difference will you make?

The organisation has a small Board of Trustees, so every member plays a vital role in overseeing and guiding the organisation. Together, we are working to sustain a small, but important arts organisation which does valuable work in communities.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking a Trustee who has experience in the financial sector, ideally a qualified accountant, with knowledge of charity accounts preferred. Ability to chair Finance meetings and present the Annual Accounts at the AGM. Good, independent judgement and a willingness to speak their mind. Knowledge of the arts sector is not an essential criterion. However, enjoyment of theatre and the arts as an audience member is desirable.
