Join the Board of Handmade Productions CIC. Every year, Handmade Productions transforms streets into stages—filled with giant puppets, glowing lanterns, music, movement and thousands of people coming together to create something unforgettable.

Job Description

This is a chance to support an organisation that has reached over 1.5 million people and plays a vital role in bringing communities together through creativity.

You'll help guide an exciting period of growth and change, while being part of something genuinely uplifting and impactful.

From community workshops to large-scale parades, their work connects people, builds confidence, and celebrates creativity in its most joyful form.

Now, as the organisation prepares to become a registered charity, they're looking for new board members to help shape what comes next.

* Business development or partnerships
* Finance
* HR
* Fundraising

Job Responsibilities

The role is flexible and designed to fit around your other commitments. It includes:

* Around 4 Board meetings a year (weekday evenings)
* Contributing ideas, insight and constructive challenge
* Supporting the organisation's long-term direction
* Acting as an advocate for the work

What you'll get in return?
* Experience of helping an organisation transition to charity status
* A chance to work alongside a passionate, creative team
* Opportunities to see the work up close-parades, events, workshops
* The satisfaction of contributing to something with real community impact
