JOIN OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES & ADVISORY BOARD

Artspace Lifespace are recruiting new members for our board. You can find out more about the current board here.

Trustee Recruitment

The Trustee’s are responsible for the strategic direction of the charity, agreeing plans and budgets, and holding the Company Manager to account for the delivery of the plans. The role of the Trustee is a voluntary role. The Trustees are responsible for ensuring that the organisation operates to standards set by parliament and the Charity Commission. Trustees take ultimate responsibility for the work that the organisation does, and the way in which it spends money raised by the charity through income and donations to achieve its aims.

Advisory Team

In 2022 we wish to set up an Advisory Team, a team of people who can provide independent voluntary advice and support to the charity. Unlike a board of directors, the members of an advisory board or team are not authorised to act or make binding decisions on behalf of the organisation and they do not have any fiduciary responsibility. The members will provide expert advice, lived experiences and objective advice to the charity, challenging and scrutinising key issues in a supportive way and provide a sounding board to the Company Managers and Trustees.

We particularly welcome young and diverse applicants.

Email the Chair of Trustees Anthony Elliott: anthonyelliottart@gmail.com with the subject Artspace Lifespace Board Recruitment and feel free to arrange an informal chat to find out more.

We have a variety of opportunities available throughout the year including volunteering to assist with invigilating at exhibitions, gathering inclusion monitoring data and stewarding at events.
