Job Summary
Job Description
This is an opportunity to bring your skills into a creative context to support a small music charity making a big impact in healthcare across Sussex and Surrey.
Wishing Well has a strong track record of funding from NHS charities and from Trusts and Foundations who support the Creative Health movement. In 2025 we worked with a fundraising consultant to consider the best way for us to diversify our income streams. As fundraising trustee, you will work with the CEO to build on these recommendations, providing strategic leadership and oversight of a new individual giving plan which will support the charity to build sustainable income and widen our community of support.
You don't need previous trustee experience - enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to learn are just as valuable.
We meet in person four times a year in Brighton; extra time in between meetings is required and is agreed with the CEO as appropriate. We prefer to meet in person, but some meetings can be held online or in a blended format.
Our board welcomes applicants of all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender, age, sexual orientation, or disability.
