After a challenging period, and now with a new CEO, Civic Voice is rapidly fixing its foundations and beginning to work on an exciting new vision for ‘making places better – together’, re-engaging with local civic societies and communities across England.
Having undertaken a skills audit of our current board, and with several vacancies, we are looking for new trustees with specific skill sets and backgrounds. We would especially welcome applications from less well represented groups who could strengthen our board and improve our understanding of how individuals and communities experience the built environment, including women, people from ethnic minorities, and younger people. This will underpin our ambition to see hundreds of local, volunteer-led civic societies in England grow in strength and impact.
We are also specifically looking for a Treasurer trustee, with the financial background to guide our CEO and Board towards a more resilient organisation with stronger governance, oversight and forward planning.
Our member societies are engaged in areas including managing heritage buildings, community engagement on planning decisions, transport, parks and open spaces, street design, blue plaques, tourism and much more. As a trustee, you will help our new CEO to develop a strategy to improve our engagement at national and regional level, build a more powerful member support programme to enable local societies to grow, and secure the funding and resources to underpin our plans. It is an exciting time to get involved.
