Trustee

Trustees are wanted for the Community and Youth Music Library.  As a board member of our small charity, you will invest just a few hours a year to ensure we run well and effectively, but that time you give allows us to help thousands of singers and instrumentalists to hit the right notes!

Choirs and orchestras come to CYML to hire sets of music scores for a wide range of music.  Our professional librarians manage the stock, the hires, and give support and advice to amateur and professional groups.  Our current Trustees include respected choral conductors. Our work enables thousands of people to enjoy and excel at singing and playing.

We are asking for a small investment of your time and abilities - advocacy, sourcing funding, publicity, financial management - but you can make a big difference to the cause of choral music across the country. You don’t need to be musical, just have a positive view of the importance of music to learning, physical and mental well-being and social inclusion.

Find out more about the charity on our website.

We ask that you play your part.

All charities rely on the trustees, the people who hold the objects of the charity in trust.

·        Trustees enable all the work the charity does, by holding responsibility and taking oversight as to the direction and purpose of all that is done

·        Our Board is small; we are looking for new energy, to take our cause forward, and to fill the gaps that will arise from various upcoming retirements.

·        The work is professionally managed, the charity has a high reputation, and we have stable finances. This is a good  time to join.

·        We meet 4 times a year, usually in person in north London, but we can be flexible.

·        We’d like you to come and spend some time with us; we have a welcome event on Tuesday 8th September.

·        Our Chairman is Jeremy Jackman, an internationally known choral director.  If you would like to join us, contact him via his website, where you can find out more about him.
