Play a key role in leading the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association as our next Chair of Trustees, to support the preservation and development of the Keats-Shelley House and Museum in Rome, and a range of programmes and events in both Rome and the UK.
Applications close at: 9 a.m. Monday 17th February 2025.
Location: London (with occasional travel to Rome)
Time commitment: At least 1 day per month
About the Keats-Shelley Memorial Association
The Keats-Shelley Memorial Association (KSMA) was founded in 1903 to maintain and support the Keats-Shelley House, an 18th-century Palazzo, at 26 Piazza di Spagna, Rome, now a Museum devoted to the English Romantic poets – John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley and their circle, including Lord Bryon and Mary Shelley, especially those associated with Italy.
The Association is also responsible for maintaining the graves of Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Joseph Severn and Edward Trelawny in the non-Catholic Cemetery at Testaccio.
The Keats-Shelley House is open to the public and performs an educational and cultural role in the life of Rome. The Museum houses one of the world’s most extensive collections of memorabilia, letters, manuscripts, and paintings related to Keats, Shelley, as well as Mary Shelley, Byron, Wordsworth, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browing, Oscar Wilde and others. The Keats-Shelley House in Rome offers outreach programmes, lectures, and events and organises a poetry competition for Italian school students.
In the UK, the Association publishes a bi-annual journal, ‘The Keats-Shelley Review’ and periodic newsletters. It organises a range of events such as lectures, poetry readings and dramatic presentations. It also organises the annual Keats-Shelley Prize and Young Romantics Prize for poetry and essay writing. Annual awards ceremonies usually take place in London.
The Association plays an important role in Anglo-Italian cultural relations.
About the role
The Association is a UK-registered charity with a Board of Trustees and three Sub-Committees in the UK for The Keats-Shelley Prizes, Acquisitions and Investments.
The UK Board has 19 Trustees, including the Chair. The Rome Sub-Committee has 16 Members. The Chair of the Rome Sub-Committee is an ex-officio member of the UK Board and a Trustee.
Following a highly successful seven-year term, Sir Ivor Roberts, will be stepping down from being Chair in April 2025 and so the Board of Trustees now seeks a new Chair to succeed him.
As an ambassador and public face of the Association, you will lead the Board and work collectively for the benefit of the Association, for its long-term sustainability and to fulfil its charitable aims.
Who we are looking for
We are keen to encourage applications from a diverse range of candidates who can bring different skills and perspectives and come from a wide range of backgrounds.
In addition to having a strong interest, passion and commitment to the Association and its work, we seek someone with:
- Experience in chairing boards, high-level meetings or senior groups in a commercial or income-generating environment with sound independent judgement.
- An understanding of financial management and the financial and legal duties, responsibilities, risks and liabilities of a charity.
- An interest in Anglo-Italian relations.
We are also looking for someone who is comfortable in an ambassadorial role with the ability to bring added value to the charity through connections which could be in diplomatic, government or financial circles, and willingness to use networks to advance the Association.
Being able to devote the necessary time to meet the responsibilities of the role, including travel and attending events and meetings in the UK and Rome will be vital and whilst knowledge of Italian would be useful, it is not essential.

Tiger Bay and the World, The Heritage & Cultural Exchange is a community based organisation that aims to fully chronicle the heritage and cultural diversity of Tiger Bay and Cardiff Docklands and bring it to the world.
We are custodians of a substantial collection of historical material relating to this multi-cultural heritage, and we need volunteers to help us organise and catalogue this collection. Our aim for this collection is to make an accessible online resource that can be used by historians, researchers, and community members.
Archive volunteers
We need a number of volunteers who are willing to help us go through boxes and organise and sort out the material in it. This might involve beautiful photos sometimes, but could also be days of numbering cassette tapes! We are looking for people who are happy to work in an organised and careful way.
One of the first groups of items we are organising is the oral history tapes and transcripts. They need to be listed, numbered and connected to each other (where possible). We will then move on to other boxes and groups of items. This work involves sorting out larger amounts of material, not researching individual items.
For some groups of items we can move on to starting to catalogue them soon; see below for Cataloguing volunteers; however, there are also many boxes and groups that need sorting out first.
This will take place at Glamorgan Archives; guidance or training where necessary will be provided; as will be gloves and other material where needed.
Cataloguing volunteers
This role can overlap with Archive volunteers. For some of the groups of items in the collection, we can make a start at cataloguing them without needing much further research.
We will provide some training for Cataloguing volunteers to talk you through our catalogue programme and database; which fields to fill out; how to formulate; how to find the right information. This role does need a basic understanding of how to work with computers, but the system is easy to use and detailed guidance is available.
In general this work will take place at Glamorgan Archives, as the material is stored there. However, if you would be interested in this work but can’t travel there, let us know. You will work with members of staff and other volunteers.
Oral History Listening volunteers
We need a number of volunteers who are willing to listen to oral history interviews that have already been digitised. After checking whether transcripts already exist, we will start with listening to those tapes that have no records yet.
We can provide laptop, headphones etc in the Community Centre, or ask us about doing this remotely in the comfort of your own home. We will provide guidance on the way to record themes and subjects. We do not ask for a transcription, but a recording of key points.
Photo workshop volunteers
We hold ‘photo workshops’ in which we show the photographs from the archives to attendees, trying to get as much information as possible about the photos – who is on them? Where is it taken? What are they doing? What year/decade?
We could use some volunteers to be at these events and steer discussions and record information offered by attendees. If you like meeting people and are interested in hearing stories from the past, this might be a nice role for you!
Some of the workshops will be at the Butetown Community Centre, but we are also hoping to hold some at different locations with specific groups. Let us know even if you just want to be involved in one at your local church/ club!

- Write blog posts exploring aspects of our museum’s programme, exhibitions or collections.
- Liaise with museum staff to develop your content
- Where relevant, undertake research to develop your blog post
What you’ll bring to the role:
This role is perfect for people who:
- Enjoy writing and are motivated to create engaging, interesting and well written content
- Enjoy undertaking independent research on subjects explored by our museum
- Are looking to improve their writing skills by contributing to the online content of a national museum.
It would be good if you:
- Are interested in, or knowledgeable about, the museum and are keen to promote its programme
Some things you need to know:
- To volunteer in this role, you must be 18 or over.
- All volunteers must attend an online taster session and a welcome session to join this role (held on Microsoft Teams). You must be available for one of each of these:
- Taster: 13.30-14.30, Tues 25 Feb, or 17.30-18.30 the same day
- Welcome: 13.30-14.30, Tues 4 March, or 17.30-18.30 the same day
- This role is remote, which means you can volunteer from wherever you live as long as you have a device with a word processor (such as Microsoft Word) and the ability to use email to be in touch with our team. It may be an advantage to you to be local, as you can visit our museum in person, but this isn’t essential.
- All blog posts shared as part of this role will be checked by our Comms team (and our Curatorial team where appropriate) before publishing. You will have feedback and support with producing your blog post(s).
