Volunteer Trustee – Art & Soul

What will you be doing?

Art & Soul supports mental health and wellbeing through creativity. For over 20 years we have run workshops, exhibitions, and community events that provide safe spaces for self-expression, inclusion, and connection. Each session shows measurable improvements in participants’ wellbeing. We are seeking new Trustees to help guide our strategy and ensure good governance. We particularly welcome applications from people with skills or experience in:

Fundraising and development Legal, HR or governance Digital transformation, communications or marketing NHS, health or social prescribing connections Arts, creative industries or community engagement

Commitment is approx. 4–6 hours per month, including four evening Board meetings (online or in Richmond) and involvement in at least one exhibition, workshop or event each year.

What are we looking for?

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds who share our passion for creativity and mental health. No previous Trustee experience is required – training and induction will be provided. We’re particularly looking for Trustees who bring expertise in areas such as fundraising, governance, HR, marketing, or health partnerships. We also value lived experience of mental health challenges. Most of all, we’re looking for committed, collaborative people who want to help Art & Soul thrive.

What difference will you make?

As a Trustee, you will help ensure Art & Soul remains sustainable and impactful at a time when mental health challenges are increasing. Your expertise and perspective will help us reach more people, strengthen our governance, and deepen the role of creativity in improving wellbeing across our community.
