Volunteer Trustees (voluntary, part time)

What will you be doing?

Deadline: Friday 28 February 2025 Heritage Crafts was set up in 2009 to support, safeguard and celebrate heritage craft skills in the UK. We are currently funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund thanks to money raised by National Lottery players. We are currently looking for additional Trustees (voluntary, part time) with the skills and experience to enable us to grow as an organisation and to help us to deliver projects which meet our strategic aims, including greater recognition for heritage craftspeople and better access to craft education and training. Please note that prior Trustee experience is not compulsory, with support to be made available for less experienced candidates.

What are we looking for?

We are particularly looking for Trustees skilled or experienced in any of the following areas and with an enthusiasm to bring these skills to bear for the benefit of the organisation:

Lived experience of heritage crafts Cultural / educational sector policy Advocacy / campaigning Public relations / media liaison Charity law / commercial law Fundraising (bid writing and/or philanthropy) Human resources Research (academic or commercial)

However, we will also consider applications from exceptional individuals with other skills and enthusiasms, especially those with a particular insight into an under-represented community within the UK.

What difference will you make?

As part of our Board you will support and shape our work and strategic direction, as well as help us achieve our purpose to support and promote heritage crafts as a fundamental part of our living heritage.
