Trustees

Packed Lunch exists to provide opportunities for learning and showcasing in the arts that make a real difference in people’s lives, improving their mental wellness, creative communication, skills base and internal power. Behind the scenes, ensuring everything we do fits with our mission to nurture learning and growth through creation, are our trustees - the expertise guiding operations, the rudder preventing deviation from our charitable mission and the tactical support enabling robust, resilient, purposeful initiatives. 

We are now looking to grow the Board the Trustees, embedding in our organisation the skills and experience that will help us scale up, thrive and increase our reach and impact.

No formal qualifications are required, and we are accepting expressions of interest despite experience in charity governance.

Enthusiasm and a commitment to our mission are major draws for us, and we welcome people from all walks of life, whether you have a finance, accounting, business, community work, arts or any other background you feel would be of benefit to our charity. We are especially interested to hear from practicing artists, animators and performance artists; marginalised voices in the visual arts; educators; social enterprise professionals; experts in neurodiversity inclusion; social minorities; and individuals from the global majority. 

What does a trustee do?

The primary role of a trustee is to work constructively with other board members and staff to support the good governance of Packed Lunch Productions, ensuring that the purpose of the charity is fulfilled and the charity is well managed and financially viable and working within the requirements of the law, regulation and its funders.
