New Art Studio is a unique therapeutic art studio in London, providing weekly group art therapy sessions for asylum seekers and refugees. We are seeking new Trustees to join us in supporting and monitoring the effective running of the charity as we become a more dynamic and structured organisation. We want to increase our board''s diversity and welcome first time Trustees of all ages and backgrounds. We value lived experience and diversity to reflect the background of our members. Our Trustees bring a range of skills, experience and commitment to supporting the charity''s Co-Directors, volunteers and other staff, and work together to ensure that the charity''s core activities, fundraising and public profile all meet the charity''s stated aims and principles. The role of the Trustee is voluntary, and currently Trustees give approximately six hours of their time per month to the New Art Studio, which includes attending meetings and working from home, plus occasional urgent matters, with opportunities for deeper involvement in relevant areas of the charity''s work. Trustees attend four management committee meetings and up to two Trustee meetings per year - all take place in the evening, in north London and last approximately two hours. Reasonable travel expenses can be reimbursed. Trustees work together on developing policy, organising and minuting meetings, recruiting and reviewing paid staff, supporting external events, managing finances, and taking an overview of fundraising ..... full job details .....
