Trustee Roles with Creative Charity

Gladrags is looking for Trustees who believe creativity can build stronger communities.

For over 30 years, Gladrags has combined creativity, costume reuse and community connection to support schools, theatre groups, community organisations and people experiencing hardship. Through subsidised costume hire, textile reuse and creative community projects, we are instrumental in keeping garments and materials in circulation while making arts and culture more accessible locally.

Our trustees play an important role in helping the charity stay financially resilient, community-rooted and true to its values as we continue to grow.

We are particularly interested in hearing from people with knowledge or experience in:

income generation, fundraising or marketing

property or business development

policy and governance

the arts and creative industries

the voluntary and community sector

We also know that life experience and community understanding offer valuable expertise. We warmly welcome people from a wide range of backgrounds who feel connected to our mission and believe they could contribute to the future of Gladrags.

Previous trustee experience is not essential. We are keen to build a diverse and inclusive Board that reflects the communities we work with.

Time Commitment

Approximately 6 board meetings per year

Occasional additional support or attendance at events

Flexible voluntary role

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to support a charity that blends creativity, sustainability and community connection in a genuinely practical and local way.
