What The Atkinson Development Trust does
The Trust raises money – from individuals, businesses and funding bodies – in order to support The Atkinson to use its heritage and art collections to connect with people. They aim to:
Have a positive impact on local people’s lives
- Connect people with local stories
- Improve access to the collections and the building
- How we work
How The Atkinson Development Trust works
They meet monthly, late afternoon/early evening, at The Atkinson, at Southport Town Hall or via Zoom.
The meetings have an informal atmosphere. The Trust wants people to actively participate, take ownership, be heard and feel valued for their knowledge and ideas. As well as attending meetings regularly, Trustees need to be willing to give some time outside the Trust’s meetings in order to move forward ideas which the Trust has agreed to.
The Trust works supportively with The Atkinson to expand and enhance their work. They do not work directly with beneficiaries and we do not influence the programming or running of the venue.
Who The Atkinson Development Trust is looking for
The Trust is keen to develop a broad range of skills on our Board, and are particularly looking for Trustees who have both strong skills and the time available to contribute. All skills are welcomed and will be considered, but our current priority is for people with skills/experience and available time to give in:
- Fundraising
- Social Media
- Membership
- Promotions
Interested?
Being a Trustee is rewarding, but please note this is a completely voluntary, unpaid role.
The deadline for applications is Friday 23rd February 2024 at 5pm.
For information on how to apply, a full role description, or to arrange an informal chat, please email admin@atkinsontrust.org.uk and we’ll get back to you.
