Young Person Trustee
7 months ago
WHAT IS IT?
If you believe that culture is a human right and plays an important role in people’s lives, if you love live events, getting creative and exploring big ideas, and want to make a difference within our community and beyond, then we’d love to hear from you.
Cheltenham Festivals is a charity that aims to bring joy, spark curiosity, connect communities and inspire change through four world-class Festivals in Jazz, Science, Music and Literature, our education, community and talent development programmes, and our free programmes, including VOICEBOX specifically aimed at under 30s.
Cheltenham Festivals is looking for two young people aged 18 - 25 to join their Board of Trustees. We want to bring young voices into the heart of the decision-making process when it comes to Cheltenham Festivals’ events and activities. Each Trustee will lead on a special area of the work of the Charity, these two roles giving a voice to young people in the local community and wider cultural landscape.
You don’t need any previous experience of being a trustee. You just need a desire to amplify the voice of young people so that they can influence the long-term direction of the charity into the future.
WHAT DOES IT INVOLVE?
Preparing for and attending meetings. There are four per year in total, three hours each. All meetings are hybrid, although we prefer to meet in person when we can but the option to dial in is there.
**Trustees**:
Are collectively responsible for the governance of the Charity and support the Senior Management Team (SMT) to ensure that the charitable purpose of Cheltenham Festivals is carried out;
Are critical friends of the Senior Management Team who oversee the day to day running of the charity;
Guide the SMT on how and where to prioritise the finances of the charity (don’t worry, we will give you plenty of support on this and help you understand how the finances work)
Accept legal responsibility for the work of the Charity and make sure it is compliant with the Charities Act 2011. (Again, we will train you in this aspect of the role)
**HOW IT WORKS**:
Although a trusteeship is a voluntary position, there is a travel allowance.
You will receive training and insight into a charitable arts organisation from the people who run it.
You will have a mentor, who is an experienced trustee, to support you in preparing for meetings.
WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU?
**You will**:
Gain invaluable experience being part of Board level conversations
Work with high level arts professionals to develop skills in arts leadership, business management, governance and strategy
Be part of a community of like-minded people who care about delivering incredible events and activities in the local community, UK and internationally.
Gain access to world class events and opportunities to attend grassroots community projects that really impact young people’s lives
**You’ll also gain skills in**:
Leadership anddecision-making
Understanding budgets
Collaborative working
Self-confidence and self-expression
Networking with people from across the arts, sciences and cultural industries
