Trustee

Are you looking to make a real difference to a local community charity? Do you have good business skills that can help make that difference? Do you have at least 2-3 hours a month that you could give to provide support?

Livestock is a charity that works within the community, running arts groups, events and performances to support, educate and entertain.

The main project is Mothers Uncovered which is a creative support network for (mostly new) mothers. It is to provide a support service to mothers through workshops and arts projects. We give women the chance to talk openly and honestly about their feelings and experiences, without fear of judgement and to mark this time in their lives. 

Lastly, we present events and m/others uncorked, which is immersive, improvised shows dealing with social issues.

We are looking for trustees with business skills to support us in helping us to run the charity better and to share in shaping the next steps and future of Livestock. 

Skills

We are particularly interested in hearing from you if you have skills/experience in the following areas:

• Fundraising/grant writing/experience with corporate partnerships and/or sponsorship
• Governance and leadership
• Business strategy

However, whatever your business experience has been, we would like to talk to you and find out how you could contribute to our work.

In addition to this, previous third sector experience or knowledge would be beneficial, and a passion for the work that we do as an organisation is a must. We are looking for individuals that are dynamic and able to get involved, with lived experience of parenting.

The time commitment for this is three online meetings per year, usually on a Tuesday or Wednesday evening. Additionally, there is one in-person meeting, which is usually part of a half day training day in Brighton. We also require trustees to commit to 2-3 hours a month contributing within their skill area, or general Livestock projects.

Benefits

This role will give someone the opportunity to: 

• Be involved in a growing local charity
• Have opportunities to learn and develop, or practice existing skills
• All expenses paid
• Contribute to the future of this organisation.

Training is accessible for this role.
