Our vision is to be a leader in contemporary figurative art, led by artists, for all. Our mission is delivered primarily through a busy programme of exhibitions, events and awards at the Mall Galleries in London.

 Established in 1961, The Federation of British Artists (FBA) is a major visual arts charity, with administration offices and a large, contemporary gallery space located on The Mall in central London.  The FBA comprises of nine of the UK’s leading art societies which all host their annual exhibitions and events at Mall Galleries.

The Society of Wildlife Artists

The Hesketh Hubbard Life Drawing Class

In addition, and in order for the Mall Galleries to be the home of the Federation’s exhibitions, the galleries are also hired out to figurative art exhibitors.  For example, the Discerning Eye exhibition has been staged here for over 30 years, other art societies such as The Society of Women Artists and the Society of Graphic Fine Art a choose the galleries for their annual exhibition. The auction house, Lyon & Turnbull, come twice a year to stage their Modern Made auction in London.

Overall, 24 exhibitions are planned for 2024. The length of an exhibition is usually 1 or 2 weeks, occasionally 3 weeks, therefore the turnaround of exhibitions is regular. Approximately 7,000 works of art are displayed in the galleries per annum. 40,000 visitors come to the galleries each year.

The landlord is The Crown Estate, the lease for the property finishes in October 2030. Over the next few years entering into lease negotiations and reaching a positive conclusion will be a priority.

The organisation weathered the COVID pandemic thanks to healthy reserves and support from The Crown Estate and UK Government grants.

After a positive 2023 the FBA is in a strong position to plan for the future and consider how it will meet its charitable objectives in this digital age. A new website with a headless e-commerce platform was launched in January 2024 to help the user navigate more easily and to promote the exhibitions and works of art better. The turnover is £1.6 million.

A strategic review is underway which includes a stakeholder and customer survey and will result in a fresh 3-5 year organistional business plan.

The FBA has a board of 13 Trustees and employs a team of twenty full-time or part-time professionals.  Two further teams of staff look after the front of house operation and undertake picture handling and technical responsibilities.  The FBA Chair is Jane Ellison who joined in October 2023.
9 trustees are appointed from the nine member art societies, up to five independent trustees can be appointed and the Chair is independent,.  The maximum number of trustees is 15.  One term is three years with a maximum of six years as a full term.

At the English Folk Dance and Song Society we champion the folk arts at the heart of England’s rich and diverse cultural landscape.

We are seeking three voluntary Trustees/Directors to join our Board, with the potential for one of the new appointees to become the Deputy Chair.

This is a wonderful opportunity for the right people to work with this unique organisation and support our development as the national development organisation for the folk arts.

We are particularly interested in applicants with financial, HR or business/entrepreneurial knowledge and experience – together with a passion to take the folk arts of England to an ever-wider audience.

Can you help us to develop our incredible organisation, and as we take the next steps in building our national recognition?

We look forward to hearing from you.

We are pleased to be offering an exciting new one-year attachment to The Old Vic Theatre Trust Board exclusively to one Lambeth resident aged 18–30.

The Lambeth Baylis Trustee provides a unique opportunity for a young person to discover how a Board of Trustees in an arts organisation works. Across the UK, less than 1.2% of Trustees are under 30 and 0.5% are aged 18–24.

The role aims to provide a specific youth viewpoint in relation to The Old Vic’s activities and strategy.

What is a Board of Trustees?

A Board of Trustees offers guidance and expertise to senior management. At The Old Vic, this means the Artistic Director, Executive Director and the Senior Leadership & Management Teams.

What is the time commitment?

Board meetings, of which you would be expected to attend at least three during your year, are normally held four times a year. In addition, you would be invited to attend theatre performances and fundraising events and have informal meetings with relevant members of the Management team. Attendance at these events is a key part of the role, particularly if you are to get the most out of the experience. Board memberships are voluntary, unpaid positions, however for the Lambeth Baylis Trustee, expenses will be covered.

What would make a good Baylis Trustee?

The Old Vic is looking for people who want to try something new, who are keen to make an impact on The Old Vic’s activities and have any of the following attributes:

• commitment and enthusiasm
• good, independent judgement
• creative thinking
• willingness to speak their mind
• effectively working as a member of a team
• demonstrating selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
• a commitment to equal opportunities and diversity

We are particularly keen to hear from people who have had limited or no access to Arts opportunities in the past and are committed to identifying and resolving barriers which may ordinarily exclude young people from accessing theatre.

No experience is necessary.

What support will be provided?

The Lambeth Baylis Trustee will undergo an onboarding programme to learn about the theatre and the work we do, as well as sessions to understand how a Board works before the first Board meeting.

The Lambeth Baylis Trustee will be appointed a “buddy” (Euan Borland, Education and Community Director), have opportunities to attend Old Vic events, shadow members of The Old Vic Management team and undergo any relevant training throughout the programme.

Are there any specific criteria?

The candidate must be a Lambeth resident aged between 18–30.

Why is this a Lambeth-only scheme?

The Old Vic offers a range of youth engagement projects for residents of boroughs across London. This project has been specifically funded by Lambeth, our home borough, and as such is restricted to its residents

William Morris Society Trustee Recruitment (Treasurer-designate and LBHF resident)

The William Morris Society is recruiting for two new members to join our board of trustees – to contribute to the strategic direction and good governance of the charity as we head towards our milestone 70th anniversary.

Founded in 1955, the Society works to improve and diffuse knowledge of the life, work and influence of William Morris. This is achieved through an impressive programme of activity – including publication of a journal and a members’ magazine, delivery of in-house and high-profile guest speaker events, school and outreach opportunities and, not least of all, rolling exhibitions at our museum on the Thames in West London.  

In 2024 the Society welcomed Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A, as our new President and appointed for the first time a CEO to run the charity. New board members will join the Society at a time of rejuvenation and growth, although we remain a small organisation (with turnover <£150k) with the usual challenges facing the heritage and arts sectors.

The members of the Society comprise a fellowship of those interested in the very many diverse aspects of Morris’ life and artistic output – ranging from his famous wallpaper and tapestry designs, through his stained-glass and literary works, to his perhaps less-well known political activism. With something for everyone, we are a diverse membership – from across the UK and further afield.

We combine our broad and international appeal with a strong local presence in Hammersmith based on the contribution of Morris to the arts & crafts movement and grassroots politics during his time living at Kelmscott House – the Coach House of which is today run by the Society as a museum. We work with organisations across the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, including the Council from whom we receive an annual grant. To consolidate and further build our local connections we are recruiting for a resident of the community to join our board of trustees.

With our current Treasurer stepping down next year, we are also now recruiting for his successor. As Treasurer-designate, the successful candidate will have opportunity to work with and learn from the team, particularly with our finance officer, before stepping up to the role at our AGM in May 2025. For context, recent annual accounts can be viewed on the Charity Commission website.

We are keen to hear from all those with an interest in Morris and in supporting the work of the charity and who are either a) resident in the London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham or b) have financial experience to support the Society as our next Treasurer. The board meets quarterly with subcommittee meetings in between – including the Finance & General Purposes Committee, of which the Treasurer is ex officio a member. 

Application is by CV and brief covering letter to the Society’s CEO, Claudia Suckling. To schedule an informal discussion about either role with the Vice-Chair, Tara-Jane Sutcliffe, please get in touch.

Early applications are encouraged. Please note that these are voluntary (unpaid), charity trustee roles.

Closing date: Sunday 2nd June.

This year Royal Greenwich Heritage Trust (RGHT) celebrates a decade looking after key structures, objects and historic records within the Royal Borough of Greenwich in South East London, the most important of these being the Grade 1 listed Jacobean Charlton House.

We are seeking an inspirational Chair of the board, along with a number of trustees, as we look forward to the next 10 years.

We have exciting plans for Charlton House, as we seek  to drive the Trust’s commercial and community activities and build towards a sustainable future for our heritage assets, as well as opening up the museum collection and archive to more visitors. 

Your leadership experience, stakeholder management and interest in both our local heritage and communities will lead the organisation into our next decade of growth.

What we are looking for

Following the retirement of Len Duvall OBE, who has led the charity for the past 10 years, we are seeking a new Chair to provide inspirational leadership to the Trust.  Key responsibilities of the Chair include chairing the Board of Trustees, acting as a mentor to the Chief Executive, and actively supporting our fundraising activities. 

We are looking for strong commercial skills, coupled with a strategic approach and great vision to help shape the future of the Trust.  An advantage will be having excellent business and other contacts and a track record of delivering commercial success and sustainable growth. 

How much time is involved?

Board meetings are bi-monthly. In addition there is an annual half day strategy meeting and a small number of ad-hoc meetings throughout the year. In person attendance at these meetings is desirable but not always essential. There will also be the occasional need to attend meetings with senior officers and Elected Members of the local authority. 

In all we expect the Chair will need a time commitment of up to 10 to 12 days per annum, although that may to some extent depend on the appointee’s style of leadership. The Chair will be appointed for a 3-year term which could be extended.  Please note this is an unremunerated role although reasonable travel expenses will be covered.

To help deliver success you will be supported by a wonderful team of staff, volunteers and Trustees, with tremendous goodwill from the wider community.

This is a role that does not come up often and it offers the opportunity to lead a passionate team and develop innovative strategies; and the chance to be proud of what you can achieve with us.
