Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life is one of the most important visitor attractions in Devon, with national reach. We aspire to share the stories of people and place – past and present of Tiverton and Devon’s Heartland.
As a Trustee, you will help shape the future of this independent museum. Play a central role in caring for and making accessible our collection and stories, support innovative learning programmes and help us thrive as a charity that relies on visitors and supporters.
We are at the start of an exciting journey, with a major programme of redevelopment that will transform the Museum. Our galleries will be updated and the collection redisplayed. New interpretation will tell engaging stories and celebrate the historic buildings. Flexible space will be created for temporary exhibitions and events, making the best use of the Museum for everyone.
This is a massive project, which will increase our presence in Tiverton and secure a popular and valuable mid Devon asset, for the future. We need your help to make this project a success. We are looking for trustees who can bring skills and experience to strengthen the Board of Trustees and enable the museum to grow and flourish during and beyond this project. We would welcome knowledge and experience in the following areas:
- Retail and hospitality
- Business planning and income generation
- Finance
- Fundraising
- IT/digital
- HR
- Marketing and audience development.
This is not an exhaustive list. If you feel you have something to offer outside the areas outlined, please get in touch.
