The UniBrass Foundation is looking to recruit someone to become a trustee.

The trustee role will be a part of the UniBrass Foundation, a charity established to ensure the continuing stability of the UniBrass contest and to support brass banding at university level.

Trustee board

The trustee board is primarily made up of ex-members of the contest organising committee, but with a vacancy on its trustee board the decision has been taken to also recruit externally.

Chair of the Board of Trustees, Andy Straiton told 4BR: "We know there are lots of people in the brass banding community keen to support the work UniBrass does, and lots of people will be able to offer a range of skills that can help continue the success achieved so far by UniBrass.

If you are at all interested, please have a chat to one of the current trustees!"

How to apply?

He added: "Being a trustee offers an exciting opportunity to help shape the future of university brass banding. In particular, the Foundation is keen to hear from people with commercial experience, ideally within the arts sector.

Whether the experience is in securing corporate sponsorship, successfully applying for grants or simply being involved in professional music making, if you have that experience the Foundation want to hear from you.

We know there are lots of people in the brass banding community keen to support the work UniBrass does, and lots of people will be able to offer a range of skills that can help continue the success achieved so far by UniBrassAndy Straiton
