Volunteer Trustee

What will you be doing?

Banana Enterprise Network is a charity dedicated to the preservation, restoration, and sustainable development of Grade 2 Listed Historic Rock Hall in Farnworth, helping combat poverty in Farnworth and providing various community activities. Our mission is to safeguard Rock Hall architecturally and culturally, for future generations, ensuring the Hall contributes to the vibrant life of our communities. Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund, we have recently undertaken a governance review to ensure that our charity is fully prepared and fit for owning and successfully managing a multi-use community focussed and historic building following a Community Asset Transfer from Bolton Council (who own the building currently).

What are we looking for?

We are looking for inspirational and dynamic applicants who are passionate about the work we do. Following the recent governance review we are particularly interested in recruiting trustees with experience in one or more of the following areas:

Finance expertise Charity Governance Income generation (e.g. enterprise/business development and fundraising, particularly to ensure ongoing viability of the project post-restoration of Rock Hall). PR, communications and marketing. Management of heritage buildings Safeguarding

What difference will you make?

As part of our board you will support and shape our work and strategic direction, as well as helping us to prepare for taking on the management and maintenance of historic Grade 2 listed Rock Hall in Farnworth (Bolton, Lancs).
