The UniBrass Foundation is looking for motivated individuals to join the board of trustees to help continue UniBrass’
award-winning innovative work helping to grow the University Brass Band Community.
Over the last eleven years, UniBrass has been one of the fastest-growing organisations within the Brass Band community, with 25+ universities and over 1,000 students now engaged. The UniBrass Foundation (registered charity 1159359), founded in 2014, exists to support university bands, and the young people that play in them throughout the year. We organise the National University Brass Band Championships of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, as well as various other projects such as Band Camp (the summer school for university-age individuals), Artist in Association (where a professional artist is embedded in a university band for a number of months), and various other fundraising and support activities. We are now looking for new trustees to join the UniBrass board and help continue to grow the charity.
Who are we looking for?
The charity would love to hear from anyone keen to help support the student brass band community. The trustees are eager to ensure the trustee board represents the community we aim to support and so welcome applicants from across the UK and/or from any background. Furthermore, any applicants from outside the brass band community, who can offer a different perspective but who nonetheless support the work of the Foundation would also be greatly encouraged.
We could be particularly interested in hearing from interested candidates who fulfil any of the following desirable criteria:
· Marketing music events/organisations
· Success in grant applications (ideally for arts causes)
· Interest in working alongside others to manage the finances of the charity
· Employment of staff in a small organisation
Applications are open now - visit unibrass.co.uk/become-a-trustee where full details of the application process are available. The deadline for applications is the 7th September 2022. If you need any more information contact recruitment@unibrass.co.uk.
This position is voluntary, although all expenses incurred whilst a trustee will be reimbursed, subject to the charity's expenses policy.
