This is an exciting moment for us at SICK!, and we are thrilled to invite passionate, forward-thinking individuals to join our Board.
With our unwavering focus on mental and physical health, disability, inequality, and social change, our work has never been more relevant. We are proud of the growing impact we’re making locally and globally, and this is being recognised by our partners and funders who are investing in our long-term vision for the future.
Including Arts Council England who have committed to investing in our work as a National Portfolio Organisation 2023-2028.
In 2026, we present the latest iteration of SICK! Festival - with Beat One taking place throughout May.
Central to this is our Creative Resuscitation (CPR) model, which shifts us from a biennial, month-long festival to a year-round rhythm of seasonal “beats”. This structure is designed to disrupt unsustainable cycles, deepen relationships, and embed community voice and public outcomes across everything we do.
This festival, under SICK!’s new leadership, marked a pivotal moment in our journey as we deepen our commitment to engaging with pressing societal issues and sparking meaningful conversations.
We are looking to recruit new trustees, including but not limited to, with skills and professional qualifications in finance/accountancy, experience in communications or development and fundraising.
As an organisation, we are committed to ensuring our Board reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We are actively encouraging applications from people facing racism, those who identify as LGBTQIA+, individuals from lower socio-economic backgrounds, and those with disabilities. We would also welcome applications from people with connections to Moston, Harpurhey, and Charlestown.
Join us and play a crucial role in shaping the future of SICK! as we continue our mission to challenge
perceptions, inspire action, and bring about real change.
We look forward to hearing from you.
