We are recruiting a trustee with fundraising expertise and experience, who can guide us on our campaign, and who is forward thinking, open-minded, willing to contribute their time and effort, and who has an affinity with the army and an interest in heritage.

However, if you are interested in this role and feel that you have different skills to contribute, such as commercial, visitor experience, retail and HR, please apply, as all applications will be considered.
