County Durham is home to world-class festivals and exciting events, incredible cultural programmes and developments, community arts activities, globally renowned heritage, and vibrant venues with creativity and passion at their core.
Durham County Council has agreed to support the establishment of the County Durham Culture Trust (CDCT). This new foundation charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) will serve the public across County Durham, impacting positively on the county’s arts, culture and heritage provision.
DCC is sponsoring the initial founding of the CDCT administratively and has granted £70,000 in support of its initial set up costs. Once legally established, DCC will no longer have any active involvement in the charity.
We are seeking to appoint two founding trustees to the board, and would welcome applications from individuals with the following skills:
These are pro bono roles; however, reasonable expenses will be met.
Further information about the roles is available in our recruitment pack or for an informal conversation about the roles and the organisation you can contact Alison Clark (Alison.Clark@durham.gov.uk)
Application deadline: 18 July 2024. Interviews will take place 25 July 2024.
