Who we are
Thames Festival Trust’s focus is on engaging a wide public in art, heritage, education, environmental and well-being programmes that reveal our rivers’ rich natural environment, share their unique history, protect their sustainability, and celebrate the diverse connections they make for us with the wider world. The Trust delivers the annual Totally Thames festival each September, promoting events on and along the river Thames.
The role
We are looking for new trustees who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our Board, and who will bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the trustee role, along with the following qualities:
- enthusiasm for our vision and mission, with an interest in and passion for the river Thames, arts, culture, education, heritage and the environment;
- ability to think creatively and strategically, exercise good, independent judgement and work effectively as a Board member;
- effective communication skills and willingness to participate actively in discussion;
- a strong personal commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion.
We are particularly interested in hearing from potential Trustees who have experience in any of the following areas:
- Festivals and Events
- Education (we deliver education programmes in primary and secondary schools)
- Digital and Marketing
- Environmental sustainability
You do not need previous governance experience – we will provide full induction and support.
