Trustee Recruitment
The Lisa Ullmann Travelling Scholarship Fund (LUTSF) was established in 1987 in memory of dance pioneer Lisa Ullmann. Today, the main aim of our small charity is to provide financial support to individuals to travel to further their studies in the fields of movement or dance. By supporting international mobility, we foster creative and cultural exchange.
LUTSF is a registered charity (no. 1203903) and we are delighted to be seeking additional Trustees to include a Chair. We are looking to hear from individuals with the vision, ambition, and influence to support the Fund in the next phase of its journey.
Trustees attend two meetings per year in central London. Meeting dates and locations are set with considerable notice, taking into account the availability and preference of all trustees. This is an unpaid, voluntary role but any expenses incurred will be reimbursed.
Previous experience in a Board Member role is not necessary as we are committed to full induction, training and support for all new Trustees.
We are particularly interested in hearing from people with skills in the following: Marketing/Comms and Fundraising. However, we welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds.
LUTSF recognises the positive values of diversity, promotes equality and challenges discrimination.
