Making a Difference
As a result of trustee retirements, the South West Heritage Trust wants to appoint up to three new people to join its board of trustees. They would be part of the team with overall strategic responsibility for millions of archive treasures, museums collections reaching back to prehistory and more than 400 acres of heritage landscapes. Well over 100,000 people visit Trust sites every year and formal learning programmes reached 10,000 young people.
Trust responsibilities include the Museum of Somerset in Taunton, Glastonbury’s Rural Life Museum, and Heritage Centres in Taunton, Exeter and Barnstaple.
“Our heritage plays a central role in defining who we are as individuals and communities. The Trust has the great privilege of looking after major parts of that heritage and making it important to people of all ages and backgrounds. Becoming a trustee is a chance to help make a real difference.” David Gwyther, Chair of the Trust.
The closing date for applications is 8 April.
