Become a Trustee

We’re looking for new trustees to help us achieve our ambitions here at the Geraldine Connor Foundation.

The Geraldine Connor Foundation (GCF) is a registered charity, established in 2012 to continue the work and vision of Geraldine Connor by bringing people together through arts and culture.

We have a number of charitable aims. These are:

  • To continue the work and vision of Geraldine Connor in advancing the development and education of individuals in the arts and culture, and thereby developing professional and life skills, encouraging and nurturing new work and talent, and encouraging and promoting equality, diversity, empowerment and inclusion in society through the arts.
  • To provide opportunities in the arts that might not otherwise be available for talented individuals.
  • To advance the development of young people looking for guidance in the performing arts, in particular (but not exclusively) by giving them the opportunity to experience, participate and learn from projects engaging with Caribbean culture through the performing arts.

All trustees need strategic vision, good judgement, the ability to think creatively and a willingness to speak their mind. We’re particularly interested to hear from people who –

  • work or volunteer for a digital and creative sector organisation
  • have experience of fundraising for social purpose 

Interested? Get in touch 

If you want to know what it’s like to be a trustee at the Geraldine Connor Foundation, please email [email protected]

Once you’re ready to apply, download the information pack, send us a covering letter and CV to [email protected] for your application to be considered. We aim to reply within 7 working days.

We look forward to hearing from you!
