Lichfield Festival seeks new trustee
An arts-loving trustee is being sought to bring fundraising experience to its board.
The festival board says the role is an opportunity to “give something back” while developing skills and experience within a vibrant arts organisation.
Lichfield Festival is a registered charity established in 1981, which runs an annual 11-day multi-arts festival, a literature festival, a chamber music weekend, and ad hoc fundraising events.
Its Summer programme covers 60-plus ticketed events alongside free, community events and an extensive Learning & Participation programme.
Past performers have included Nicola Benedetti, Paul Merton, the Halle Orchestra, KT Tunstall (pictured), The Sixteen, Neil & Katya Jones, Philip Glass, Tony Hadley and Ballet Cymru.
Ideal candidates will have held a senior role within arts fundraising, with broad experience of fundraising strategy development and implementation. Experience in three of the following is essential:
- corporate partnership
- major donor/individual giving
- trusts & grants
- legacy giving or generating revenue from other income streams
The board holds six to eight meetings a year in Lichfield which trustees are expected to attend.
However, location is not an issue as there is an option to join remotely.
