We're a young and developing volunteer-led heritage charity with lots of aspirations.  We're seeking trustees to increase the range of skills and experiences we have on our board of enthusiastic trustees.

Set in rolling countryside, Halstead is a community-spirited town, with a history that is reflected in the townscape. Yet these natural and built assets are not as well-known as they deserve to be, and some are at risk. Halstead 21st Century Group promotes, preserves and educates about the heritage in Halstead, Essex and surrounding areas for the public benefit.

What will you be doing?

We're looking for people who want to make a difference by contributing their skills and enthusiasm to our existing trustee talent pool: helping us to turn our aspirations into reality.

We neither own nor manage assets yet (but that's something we aspire to) so there is no office base. Your duties can therefore be carried out remotely via a virtual meeting platform.  Trustee meetings are currently held monthly, but as an evolving organisation our practices could change.

You’ll work with five co-trustees to:

• Determine the strategic direction of the Group and make key decisions about new projects, funding applications and recruitment etc.
• Ensure that the Group carries out its purposes for the public benefit
• Make sure that the Group complies with the law and our governing document and acts with due diligence.  
• Manage all the Group's resources in the most productive way possible

What are we looking for?

All of these would be lovely to have, but any of them would be highly desirable

• experience in the heritage or conservation sector
• communication/marketing skills
• Financial, including fundraising and bid-writing some legal knowledge
• experience in strategic or business planning

What's in it for the volunteer?

• See your own contribution to the organisation through outcomes
• Be intellectually stimulated
• know you are a valued member of an active, results-driven organisation
• benefit from training opportunities
• increase your understanding of the heritage and/or charity sector

Time commitment

Trustees' meetings usually take place one evening a month from 7.30 - 9.00pm. Other input will be at your convenience.

How to apply

Applications are through the Reach platform.

Deadline: 20 Oct 2021.

This is an opportunity to develop skills at board level, to learn about the health sector and to make a significant difference to people with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions. 

Good musculoskeletal health is fundamental. Our ability to move is what enables us to work, socialise, live independently and contribute to society. Sadly, too many people do experience long delays in getting a clear diagnosis and relevant treatment, often living in pain while they wait.

The Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance (ARMA) brings together organisations representing health care professionals and people living with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions to highlight the need for better services and to support improvement. Our membership in the last 18 months has grown as has our reputation amongst healthcare professionals.

This is an exciting time for ARMA. After many years when MSK conditions did not get the attention they deserve, NHS England now has a programme to drive improvements in services. ARMA is closely involved in this and has a place on the Delivery Board. This enables us to have significant impact on policy and delivery of health services. MSK health services have been hit hard by the pandemic and there are significant back logs and there are huge backlogs in treatments such as hip and knee surgery. ARMA will be working with NHS England to ensure that when these backlogs are cleared, services will be better than before.

Our biggest challenge in capitalising on this position is the need to maintain sufficient income to enable us to deliver and retain our independence. Half of ARMA’s income is from membership fees, the other half from corporate sponsorship and other income generation.

Our Board is strong on charity management and clinical/health policy. Our current trustee with fundraising experience has just stepped down after three years on the Board. We are not expecting trustees to carry out the fundraising themselves, but to support the Board in developing its strategy and CEO in delivering this.

ARMA Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term and after that are eligible to stand for a further three-year term. This is an unpaid honorary post. Board meetings take place on a quarterly basis and you will be expected to give your time for 4 meetings as well as attendance at the income generation group approximately 6 times per year and ad hoc advice to the CEO. Most meetings are virtual, and reasonable expenses are reimbursed e.g. where travel is required for a face to face meeting.

Brighton People’s Theatre is aiming to recruit up to four new Trustees, to join the Board of Directors.

Board Members will be committed to Brighton People’s Theatre being an equal, diverse and inclusive organisation, and this will be reflected in the make up of the Board and how we work.

Brighton People’s Theatre has continued to provide services to our members throughout the pandemic, and we are expanding our reach this September as we roll out workshops in priority areas across Brighton & Hove. We need to review our future plans on how best we can increase our impact and ensure our artistic activity and financial model align.

We believe that Brighton People’s Theatre has an important role to play in recovery from providing opportunities within the communities we work with to advocating for the importance of co-creation in theatre. Leading by example, we want to ensure that the communities we work with not only have their stories represented on stage but there is more diverse representation in the arts and in our company.

Brighton People’s Theatre is currently undertaking a conversion from a Community Interest Company (CIC) to a Community Interest Organisation (CIO) and is awaiting Charity Registration. We expect this to be in place before new Trustees come on board. Our non-executive Board is responsible for:

• setting policy
• ensuring sound financial management
• securing the future of the Company through advice on fundraising and networking with senior policy makers
• appointing senior staff
• supporting the senior staff in their activities

• HR & Organisational Development- with experience of power sharing models in the Arts or Third Sector
• Theatre Professional – experience of co-creation with National perspective of theatre
• Legal – a current gap in knowledge and skills on the Board

We act as a catalyst, encouraging people, and especially men and boys, to individually and collectively take action to bring about societal change.
