Trustee

Wishing Well Music for Health is seeking new trustees to help us deliver our next 3-year strategy and lead our work into the future. This is an opportunity to bring your skills into a creative context to support a small music charity making a big impact in healthcare across Sussex and Surrey.

We meet four times a year in Brighton - we like to meet in person, but some meetings can be held online or in a blended format. Extra time in between meetings is agreed depending on your capacity and area of responsibility. 

You don’t need previous trustee experience — enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn are just as valuable. We will provide any training and support you need.

Our board welcomes applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability.

Practical Considerations

Trustee meetings take place at the homes of existing Trustees in Brighton/Worthing/Lewes or can be accessed online. Wishing Well is a small charity and does not have an office or venue.

Support Disabled

We are a small charity and encourage applicants to talk with us about access needs so that we can be as accommodating as possible.. For example, this trustee role can be undertaken online and we can ensure that meeting places are fully accessible. Training and support will be given.

What skills do I need?
