Trustee vacancy – Cornwall Museums Partnership

Update 6 September:

CMP is excited to be currently engaged in a range of activity supported by Arts Council England’s Transition Programme. This is enabling us to review our current offer and options for our future direction of travel. Due to a delay in the original timings of this work for a range of reasons, we are postponing the trustee recruitment process until after we have reviewed the recommendations and findings. We feel it will be much more useful and regenerative to engage new trustees in our charity’s future when we know our direction of travel rather than towards the end of this transition process.

We are sorry for the delay and would like to say a huge thank you to those of you who have spent time and consideration applying for these roles.

To keep your interest piqued we’d like to share this link to our recently published Impact Report – Reflecting and Resetting for 2022-23
