This scheme provides training on charity governance and what it means to be a trustee. Receive access to a professional network of trustees, opportunities to influence strategic direction, and access to mentoring with senior leaders.

Spitalfields Music is a learning organisation, with a strong commitment to creating opportunities for people otherwise under-represented in the music sector. This extends into governance, where we offer up to five opportunities to shadow our board of trustees each year, so that Spitalfields Music and the wider arts sector can benefit from more diverse perspectives and experiences.

This initiative is primarily available to:

  • People of the Global Majority
  • D/deaf, disabled and neurodivergent people *
  • People aged under 35

* We will help with the travel expenses for those based outside of London, and the costs of BSL interpreter/caption facility/access support worker, as required.

We have highlighted these groups in particular, as they are under-represented amongst our trustee body at present. People who do not fall into one of the above categories are welcome to apply but are unlikely to be selected for interview.
