THREE
Join our Board or a Sub Group
Classical Sheffield has a board of Trustees that leads the long-term strategy of the organisation, ensures our finances and legal aspects are in order, and offers advice and support to the members. Our Constitution enables us to refresh the Board’s membership on a regular basis, so we are always open to expressions of interest from individuals who believe in our aim of bringing more music to more people in more places. We think that the best organisations have a diversity of voices, so we welcome applications from anyone regardless of their race, sex, disability, religion/belief, sexual orientation or age. In particular we would love to hear from people aged under 30 or who feel they are under-represented in the classical music scene.
The Trustees are informed by Sub Groups which include Trustees but also members and supporters of Classical Sheffield, so if Board membership isn’t for you, do consider joining one of the following:
• Membership Sub Group – deals with fees, membership benefits, ways to increase participation.
• Finance and Funding Sub Group – deals with finance, funding and policy.
• Events Sub Group – plans future events and activities and the related publicity.
We welcome anyone who feels they have the skills and/or enthusiasm to contribute in either of these ways. Please contact Rose Wilcox, Classical Sheffield Coordinator if you’d like to join one of our Sub Groups and Jo Towler, Classical Sheffield Chair, if you are interested in hearing more about joining the Board.
More information can be found in our Trustee Pack.
