Rosehill Arts Trust Ltd, the registered charity that runs Rosehill Theatre in West Cumbria, is always happy to hear from people who are interested in becoming new trustees for our board.
We are always looking to broaden our diversity. We want to be much more representative of the community we serve and are keen to get different experiences, views and ideas to help shape how we take the organisation forward.
In addition, we would ideally like some of the new trustees to have experience in one or more of the following areas:
Finance
Fundraising
Law
Theatre/arts management
Located high above Whitehaven, looking out over the Solway Firth to Scotland and inland to the Lake District, Rosehill is the cultural hub for West Cumbria and has a rich history going back more than 60 years. Being a trustee is a great opportunity to contribute to the work of our charity, to support a vibrant creative organisation working with, in and for our community, and to help shape our next 60 years of history!
Trustees will be appointed for an initial three-year term and may be reappointed for one further term. While these are voluntary, unpaid roles, we will consider reimbursing reasonable travel expenses.
No previous experience is necessary as training is available, as well as access to a trustee ‘buddy’ for additional support. What’s important is that you are able to champion our values and bring different perspectives, skills and life experiences to our conversations and work.
Please don’t be put off if you’ve never been a board member before. It’s your ideas and energy that we need most!
