The Story Museum is looking for three people to join the Board of Trustees due to existing long-serving (and brilliant!) Trustees coming to the end of their terms. In this round of recruitment we are actively seeking individuals who bring specific skill-sets and experiences from within the legal, fundraising or education sectors.
The Museum opened in its current form in May 2021. We have since welcomed over 420,000 visitors, mostly children and young people, to our amazing exhibitions and events. Through this interaction with stories and storytellers, visitors of all ages nurture their literacy, creativity and wellbeing. Audience and participant response to the Museum and our work is overwhelmingly positive; people really enjoy what we offer – in their words, The Story Museum is fun, engaging and creative!
Our vision is a world where young people can discover, shape and share great stories.
Our mission is to transform young lives by bringing stories of all kinds to life – through exhibitions, events and learning programmes, at our museum and beyond, inspiring creativity, literacy and wellbeing.
If you’re interested in supporting our goals and in joining a group of engaged and committed senior volunteers please read the Recruitment Pack and take part in our collaborative appointment process. Application deadline: Thursday 23 July.
