About Being A Trustee

Joining the Board of Trustees at Hijinx Theatre presents an exciting opportunity to contribute to a dynamic and inclusive arts community. We seek individuals ready to offer fresh perspectives and insights, drawn from both lived and professional experiences.

Whether you are seasoned in board roles or considering your first trusteeship, your contribution will be vital in helping us navigate and enrich the landscape of inclusive theatre, making a real difference in the communities we serve.

We are keen to hear from candidates who have previously been underrepresented at Hijinx and in the arts industry due to barriers linked to ethnicity, class, disability, gender, geography, sexuality, age and religion. We are particularly interested in individuals who bring specific skill sets that align with our needs.

  • Strategic Planning

  • Welsh Language
  • Capital Projects
  • Fundraising
  • Community Engagement
  • Marketing & PR
  • Charity & Third Sector

Please note that Trustee roles are voluntary and therefore unpaid, however reasonable out of pocket expenses can be covered.
