Are you inspired by creativity and the power of stories? Do you want to shape the future of a nationally significant cultural charity? If so, you could become a trustee at the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre!

Why this role matters

Our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in ensuring the Museum fulfils its charitable purpose, uses resources wisely, and remains sustainable for future generations. Trustees provide strategic oversight, ensure good governance, and support the long-term vision of the organisation.

We are at the start of an exciting five-year transformation programme to strengthen our impact, grow visitor engagement, and deliver a major capital redevelopment project: “Unlocking Stories at the Roald Dahl Museum”. Trustees will play a pivotal role in guiding the Museum through this important period of change, growth, and opportunity.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking people who want to make a meaningful, strategic contribution and help shape the future direction of the Museum. Trustees work collaboratively to guide strategy, support ambitious plans, and ensure the organisation thrives creatively, financially, and operationally.

We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:

• Human Resources – to shape our people strategy, leadership development, and organisational culture.
• Finance – to shape our financial strategy through a major capital project and to ensure the museum thrives long-term (ideally this trustee will be a qualified accountant).
• Fundraising – to grow income and support the delivery of our redevelopment and future sustainability.
• Partnerships – to encourage the development of strategic partnerships nationally and internationally.

You do not need previous trustee experience, nor do you need to have worked in a museum or cultural organisation. We welcome first-time trustees and are looking for people with good judgement, strategic thinking skills, and a collaborative approach. All reasonable expenses are covered.

Time commitment and terms

• Trustees typically contribute around one working day per month, including Board meetings and participation in at least one committee (Finance, Governance, Fundraising, or Capital Project Committee).
• Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term, with the possibility of reappointment for a second term.
• This is a voluntary, unpaid role, but all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed, including childcare.

Trustees receive a full induction, mentoring, and clear briefing materials, allowing them to focus on strategic oversight rather than operational detail. The Museum encourages and covers the cost of relevant training to support Trustees in their role

Serving as a trustee offers the opportunity to:

• Shape the future of a unique cultural institution with national significance.
• Contribute to an ambitious capital redevelopment and transformation programme.
• Apply your professional expertise in a high-impact, generative leadership role.
• Collaborate with motivated colleagues who share a passion for creativity, heritage, and learning.

Application timeline

• Application closing date = Noon, 20 April 2026
• Interviews at the Museum = 21 May 2026
• Board meeting observation for preferred candidates: Board meeting anticipated to be on 18 June 2026 at the Museum

Help us disrupt a multi-billion-pound industry! We are the UK's first non-profit Host Travel Agency, using mainstream holiday sales to fund global sustainable development. We need a visionary Head of Marketing to lead our B2B/B2C strategy, selling real dreams to make a real difference with real money.

The Mission: Shattering the Status Quo The travel industry has a massive "economic leakage" problem. Billions are spent by UK consumers on holidays, but a tiny fraction reaches the local communities hosting them. Yule Travel Group CIC is here to shatter that status quo.

We operate a unique dual-model:

• Yule Travel Group CIC: The UK's first non-profit Host Agency (B2B), recruiting marginalized travel entrepreneurs to build their own independent businesses under our legal umbrella.

• Yule Travel: Scotland’s first non-profit retail travel agency (B2C), expanding UK-wide to sell mainstream holidays directly to consumers.

Crucially, 100% of our retained corporate profits from both channels are legally locked to fund global sustainable development, such as our flagship "Made From The Mekong" project in Laos.

Your Role as the "Head" We are building a marketing department consisting of three people: You (The Head), a B2C Content Creator, and a B2B Outreach Creator. We do not need you to design daily Instagram posts; we need you to lead the strategy and ensure both "arms" are perfectly aligned with our mission.

• Brand Guardianship: Overseeing the distinct brand voices of our B2B Host Agency and our B2C Retail Agency, ensuring they both communicate our "Travel for Good" ethos without greenwashing.

• Team Leadership: Assisting the Director in recruiting, guiding, and managing the two volunteer content creators.

• Campaign Strategy: Designing high-level marketing campaigns that sell global holidays, which in turn fund our specific "Four Pillars of Change."

The Global Impact of Your Role Your strategic leadership will be the commercial engine for our global social funding. Because of our unique CIC structure, we rely entirely on commercial travel sales to fund our charitable missions. The more holidays our retail arm sells, and the more independent agents our host arm recruits, the more corporate profit we legally safeguard to fund our initiatives.

By leading our marketing team, your impact acts as a multiplier. You will directly drive the commercial success required to scale the "Made From The Mekong" project. This initiative delivers digital literacy and English education to 150 learners across isolated, off-grid villages in Laos, while simultaneously funding a circular economy that pays villagers a fair wage to repurpose river plastic.

The Ideal Candidate You do not need to be from the travel industry, but you absolutely must be a strategic thinker who understands how to build and protect a premium brand architecture.

• 3+ Years in Marketing Leadership: Proven experience in marketing strategy, brand management, or campaign direction.

• B2B & B2C Fluency: You know how to pitch a B2B business opportunity to a corporate professional, and how to sell a B2C luxury holiday to a consumer.

• The "Anti-Greenwashing" Guardian: You have a strict ethical compass. You know how to market social impact with dignity, facts, and transparency.

• A Disruptive Energy: You aren't looking for a sleepy charity role. You want to come in at the ground floor of a dynamic startup, move fast, and actively disrupt a multi-billion-pound industry.

Role Logistics: This is a fully remote, flexible volunteer role (4-6 hours/week). You will be managing other volunteers, not paid employees.

Testimonial from External Trustee, Sophie

What inspired you to become a trustee?

I was inspired to become a trustee to be able to use my experience and knowledge, both as a higher education professional and a former student (from a while ago!), to be part of something that benefits students and adds to their brilliant university experience. I also wanted to experience governance from 'the other side' and improve those skills.

How has the experience benefited you personally or professionally?

It has been really gratifying to be able to use what I do everyday and have it aid discussion. I've found it so interesting and refreshing to approach familiar topics from a completely different angle.

What advice would you give to someone considering becoming a trustee?

I would say to put yourself forward! Speak to someone who may have experience of being a trustee, have a look at the brilliant resources there are out there, and have confidence in your experience - a Board really needs a wide range of skills and experience and diversity of opinion, so go for it.

The Federation of Disability Sport Wales (known as Disability Sport Wales)is a dynamic, passionate and proactive organisation who are committed to ensuring that physical activity (including sport) is seen as a genuine choice for everyone in Wales. Our purpose is to ensure that disabled people are as likely to have a lifelong enjoyment of physical activity (including sport) as non-disabled people.

Our board is made up of volunteers who give their time, knowledge and diverse experience to drive Disability Sport Wales towards the successful attainment of our ambitions within the context of our values, and under Charities and Company Law.

It is essential to DSW that we have diversity of perspective to govern as effectively as possible, and to ensure that we continue to be a forward-thinking, sector leading organisation for the future.

We are looking for TWO new trustees who preferably have skills and experience in the following areas:

• Health and Safety
• AI
• Fundraising or grant applications

We would be keen to hear from anyone who is comfortable asking questions which will help us grow, has experience within the above areas, brings diverse insight and understanding to discussions.

Previous board experience is helpful, but not essential.

We will provide training and support to new Trustees to help understanding of the role.

If you are interested, have some time to give, are enthusiastic about inclusion, and willing to champion, challenge and support our work, we would love to hear from you.
