The London Sinfonietta are seeking up to three new volunteer Council (Board) Members who share our passion for the transformative effect of music, can help us support the operational delivery and strategic direction of the charity's activities and add to the diversity and effectiveness of our decision-making.
The London Sinfonietta Council/Board of Trustees ensures that the activities of the charitable company meet public benefit requirements. It currently includes 13 members: nine independents with a range of background and experience, the Chief Executive and three Principal Players.
We are now looking to recruit new Board Members who will enjoy giving their time and energy to support the organisation as it embarks on a new and exciting stage of development.
The areas in which we particularly seek support for the next phase of London Sinfonietta's ambitions are:
- Fundraising, commercial income generation, and growing and diversifying our income base
- Audience development and marketing, including data-driven insight
- Qualified financial, risk and audit expertise, preferably with charity governance experience
No previous board experience is necessary, and although these positions are unpaid, the role will provide post-holders with opportunities to grow and develop their own leadership and career aspirations and enhancing confidence as a board and committee member.
