As part of this we are also developing new partnerships and building new cinemas, with the first one opening at Alder Hey Children's Hospital later this year.

The organisation:
The GRAB Trust was established to address waste and recycling issues in Argyll & Bute and this year is celebrating its 25th year! The GRAB Trust exists to seek the preservation and maintenance of the outstanding natural quality of Argyll and Bute’s environment by participating in and encouraging sustainable environmental and waste management activities by the wider Argyll and Bute public.
GRAB recognises that the key to its work continuing successfully is through engaging the local community - the public need to be interested and active in sustainable environmental projects. They need to be suitably informed of the relevant issues and offered a range of accessible, enjoyable and rewarding community projects:
* To promote increased levels of re-use through the landmark Lorn & Oban Reuse Initiative (LORI) in order to for Argyll and Bute become a Zero Waste society; offer volunteering opportunities for more local people; and offer opportunities for the long-term unemployed and community service offenders through their pioneering training and job search programme
* The promotion of beach cleaning and marine issues through continuing delivery of the Argyll and Bute Beaches and Marine Litter project
* Delivery of community clean-ups around beaches and roadside verges utilising publicly funded litter grants
* The delivery of professional waste, recycling and wider environmental education, awareness and training activities to all sectors of the Argyll and Bute public including schools, households, businesses and visitors
* Fostering, encouraging and supporting local community involvement and participation in a range of sustainable, recycling and environmental projects across Argyll and Bute.
The opportunities:
Traditionally, GRAB trustees have been residents of the Argyll and Bute area but GRAB would also welcome interest from candidates who are from further afield. New trustees are sought who offer insights and experience in:
- Buildings and properties maintenance and development, such as improvements and renewals to drive income from current GRAB buildings and securing new facilities for expansion;
- Any type of recycling programmes and/or environmental protection;
- Fundraising, in particular trusts and foundations or securing governmental/grants funding;
- Stakeholder or partnership development, locally and beyond the Argyll and Bute region
