Volunteer Music Charity serving communities in Hertfordshire seeks new trustee with experience in Digital & IT

What will you be doing?

The Hertfordshire Festival of Music has established a reputation as a credible deliverer of high quality initiatives (with a focus on classical music) over the last 10 years. Having navigated the challenges of the covid pandemic, and the continuing funding pressures within the arts, we have demonstrated our resilience and adaptability in the face of change. We are now keen to build on what we have achieved to date, looking to the future to ensure we remain an active and relevant player in delivering our charitable objectives. Key to this is continuing to challenge the perceptions around the classical genre and remove the barriers which may prevent access to experiencing such music and it's life-enhancing capacity.   We are keen to expand the Board (currently 5 members) and recruit new trustees who have an appreciation of the arts and the importance they have in enriching people's lives. This will support an informed and enthusiastic contribution - bringing new ideas and energy to the table. Alongside specific skills we wish to strengthen and enhance, we are looking for individuals who enjoy positive, collaborative working to identify opportunities and overcome challenges. 

What are we looking for?

In addition to the specific skills listed, we would be looking for:

experience of the arts/charity sectors (e.g. working, volunteering, serving as a trustee) would be highly valued digital/IT experience enjoying working collaboratively within a team, whilst also being willing and able to take the lead on specific projects  can-do attitude, outcome focussed  

What difference will you make?

As part of our Board you will be able to support and shape our work, with a particular focus on developing a Digital & Strategy, with a particular focus on database/CRM development to efficiently manage our networks and tailor our communications. We are at an exciting milestone in the Charity's existence - welcoming new trustees is vital in helping us bring new thinking and perspectives, to support our continued success in delivering our charitable objectives.
