Seeking New Board Members

Creative Exchange is looking for passionate individuals to join our Board of Directors. As we grow and evolve, we want people who are excited to help shape the future of our organisation and support our mission to foster creativity, inclusion, and innovation in our community of artists.

Who We're Looking For:

We’re keen to hear from people with a range of experiences and perspectives. While prior board or governance experience is desirable, it’s not essential - if you're enthusiastic and committed, we want to hear from you.

We will provide training and support to help you feel confident in the role. We actively encourage applications from individuals who may not have considered a voluntary board position before. If you would like to understand more about the role of charity board director the Charity Commission has some helpful guidance online, here.

Commitment:

Board members attend quarterly meetings and support the organisation through occasional events and strategic discussions. The time commitment is flexible and can work around your other responsibilities. A typical board membership term is 3 years.

Want to Talk First?

If you're unsure whether this opportunity is right for you, or would just like to learn more, please get in touch - we’d be happy to have an informal chat and answer any questions you might have.

How to Apply:

Completed expressions of interest should be sent to info@creativeexchangestudio.co.uk by friday June 20th. Please write “Board Member Application” in the subject line.

Deadline to Apply:

Friday June 20th, 2025
