TRUSTEE VACANCIES, could you be the one?
Our aim is to educate, entertain and inspire a broad range of people of all ages. We have a vision to be the leading military museum in Cornwall for the preservation and promotion of the county’s and the nation’s military heritage. We also aim to make a real contribution to the wellbeing and economy of our local community and county, and to our military family.
We are looking for some new Trustees to join our Board and help us to fulfil these aims and aspirations. The Trustee role can be every rewarding and enjoyable offering an opportunity to serve the community whilst learning new skills. The Trustees role is to focus on the strategic direction of the charity and to ensure effectiveness and accountability. We are particularly interested in hearing from people who are excited about our work and can bring relevant experience/knowledge of the heritage sector, veterans, volunteering, managing finances, income generation or visitor services. For further information about us and how to apply, please download our Information Pack.
