Be Part of Our Growth Journey and Help Us Reach Even More People

This is an exciting time of accelerated growth for MediCinema. We are in the process of a strategic expansion, delivering on the ambition to reach more beneficiaries by growing our network of in-hospital services. 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. Fuelling this growth is our success in fundraising and income generation, with our income reaching a significant £1.3 million in 2023, alongside winning significant  long term capital grants.  

For this trustee role, we are specifically seeking candidates who have led a charity through a significant period of growth i.e. from small to medium size (c £1.5 - £5m), and are therefore able to bring contemporary knowledge, guidance, and insight, to support us in delivering our ambitious vision.

·       Ensuring that the organisation applies its resources exclusively in pursuance of its charitable objects (i.e. the charity must not spend money on activities that are not included in its own objects, however worthwhile or charitable those activities are) for the benefit of the public.

·       Ensuring that the organisation defines its goals and evaluates performance against agreed targets.

·       Safeguarding the good name and values of the Charity.

Time Commitment

The standard term for a Trustee is 3 years, with a maximum of 9 years (consecutive or non-consecutive). MediCinema's board currently meets five times per year, including one fully online meeting and four hybrid meetings held in a central London location. We strongly prefer that trustees attend at least 50% of the hybrid meetings in person.
