Trustees Volunteer Roles
The organisation:
The Scottish Crannog Centre Trust (the Crannog), on the tranquil banks of Loch Tay is a living museum and activity centre showcasing the traditional craftmanship and way of life for ancient Iron Age people. The Crannog hosts an action-packed annual calendar of events for school parties, local people and tourists alike, anyone who’s keen to find out more about who lived there and how they were successful in building and protecting their village.
The Crannog is on a mission to care for and make accessible the archaeological finds of Scottish Crannog dwellers and demonstrate how their stories weave a significant thread into the rich fabric of Scotland’s heritage. They hope to offer benefit, enjoyment, education, and inspiration for all by delivering work that matters, has impact, and benefits the diverse communities the museum serves. Crannog’s vision is to become a national treasure venue through projects with its partners; its approach to sustainability; and its commitment to social justice and work with marginalised groups.

The opportunity:
The Scottish Crannog Centre Trust is in transition from the old, low-key to the new sector leading, sector-shaping organisation. It is at a pivotal point between Phase 1 (£4m now complete) and Phase 2 (£12m with a new purpose-built museum). It’s this huge achievement to date, coupled with more to come, that highlights the need for a board refresh with a new Chair.
This is the right time for change!
Now recovered from the devastating fire that broke out in In June 2021, the Scottish Crannog Centre Trust is keen to engage a new Chair who offers the skills and experience needed to help Crannog further its vision and offer support to the Executive team.
Chair
Crannog feels that this role would be best served by an experienced Chair, or someone who has extensive trustee experience and is ready to step up. Professional background is open, and the Chair will ideally have some practical understanding of governance. What’s essential is strong business experience for this role. The viability and, indeed success, of Crannog as a business is central to its ambition and reputation.
It’s also important that the role is held by someone who has a supportive, collaborative and encouraging approach, and the willingness to coach newer members of the board. They must be at ease to delegate tasks to fellow trustees who have the right skills to support different projects, and they should also be willing to work constructively with the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT).
The availability of time is also essential. The Chair would need to be able to commit at least 1 day a week and to have the capacity to commit extra time at critical points in the project at least until the development is complete. The Chair should have reliable availability to host discussions, attend meetings and consultations. This is not a remote role and time to visit, talk to staff, and learn and understand is most important. While there is now a clear national dimension in this appointment, the Chair should also bear in mind easy travel time to the Kenmore site.
Additional information
Several trustee roles are soon due to reach the end of tenure: the Vice-chair and several founding trustees are now stepping down after six years and more.
Crannog feels that the new Chair should be in post for an effective handover with the incumbent Chair; to contribute to the recruitment of the trustee roles and in time for the AGM in March 2025. If candidates are interested in joining as a Trustee, please do get in touch with BTA to register your interest.

Amplify Barawak’s mission and enhance our public presence through strategic marketing and powerful advocacy. As the Marketing Outreach and Advocacy Vertical Lead, you’ll craft compelling narratives that engage and mobilize our community.
Understanding the Verticals at Barawak
Imagine Barawak as a living, thriving tree. Our verticals are like the main branches—each one strong and important, reaching out in its own direction but all connected to the same trunk, our community's mission. These four powerhouse teams each have a special job:
• The Fundraising and Financial Management vertical covers fundraising and money matters: This team is all about finding resources—like getting donations and grants—to keep our programmes strong and healthy.They will spend their time writing fantastic letters, sponsorship proposals and funding requests on behalf of Barawak as a whole, but also (supporting programme leads) to specific organisations for Barawak service lines.
• The Partnership Development and Collaboration vertical covers building bridges: They're the connectors, making friends with other groups, businesses, and everyone who can help us grow.
• The Volunteer Engagement vertical covers welcoming our helpers: This bunch is in charge of gathering our most valuable resource—people like you who want to volunteer and make a difference.
• The Marketing Outreach and Advocacy vertical covers spreading the word: They tell our story far and wide, making sure everyone knows what we're up to and how they can join in.
Each vertical team works in two distinct ways: the first way is for Barawak as a whole, and the second way is in support of each Barawak service, feeding our programmes, like roots bringing water and nutrients to the branches. Whether it's Poverty Relief, Education, Employment Support, Community Engagement or Sports and Wellness, these verticals give the support each programme needs to blossom and bear fruit. Working together, they make sure we're all pushing in the same direction—towards a future where our community stands tall and proud.
Introduction to the Marketing, Outreach, and Advocacy vertical Lead role:
The Marketing, Outreach, and Advocacy Lead is the driving force behind Barawak’s communication, its brand identity and public presence.

• Build relationships with media outlets and influencers to enhance Barawak’s visibility and impact.
3. Support to Trustees:
• Provide the Board of Trustees with strategic marketing insights and advocacy support, enabling informed decision-making.
• Ensure trustees are kept informed of marketing and advocacy efforts and outcomes, aligning with Barawak’s governance and strategic plans.
4. Programme-Specific Outreach:
• Tailor marketing and advocacy efforts to support the unique goals of each Barawak programme, from Poverty Relief to Sports and Wellness.
• Collaborate with programme leads to highlight success stories, key initiatives, and opportunities for community involvement.
5. Brand Management:
• Oversee Barawak’s brand identity and messaging across all platforms, ensuring consistency and alignment with organizational values.
• Develop marketing materials and campaigns that resonate with the community and stakeholders.
6. Performance Analysis:
• Monitor and analyze the effectiveness of marketing and advocacy initiatives, using data-driven insights to refine strategies.
Qualifications and Skills:
• Experience in marketing, public relations, or advocacy within the nonprofit sector.
• Strong creative and strategic thinking skills, with the ability to develop compelling narratives.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with proficiency across various media platforms.
• A collaborative spirit, adept at working with diverse teams and community groups.

Join our Board as Treasurer as we continue our ambition to support more disadvantaged families and help transform their lives with the anticipation, enjoyment and memory of a holiday.
Location: 7-14 Great Dover Street, London SE1 4YR
Applications close at 9 a.m. Monday 4th November.
Who we are
Family Holiday Charity helps families get time away together, often for the first time ever.
There are more than 2.5 million families with dependent children in the UK who cannot afford to have a holiday. Not a fancy holiday at an all-inclusive resort but a holiday that would cost about £600.
In fact, it’s around a third of families for whom this kind of holiday is simply out of reach. We know that the very same families are often dealing with mental or physical ill-health, domestic abuse, bereavement, a disability or are kinship or young carers.
They NEED a holiday more than most.
About the role
Family Holiday Charity is seeking a Treasurer to work alongside the Finance Director, Senior Leadership Team and other Trustees to guide the charity’s financial strategy and ultimately ensure the charity delivers its mission and vision.
The Treasurer will also chair the Audit and Risk Committee, collaborating with fellow trustees to manage risk, support income generation and align financial strategy with the charity’s mission.
The Treasurer ensures that the Board have oversight of the charity’s financial affairs, promoting its financial viability and compliance with legal obligations.
Who we are looking for
We’re looking for someone who shares our passion for supporting all families to get time away together.
You’ll have a strong background in financial management and commercial income generation, as well as an appetite to explore new opportunities to diversify our income and grow our impact. Prior involvement in charity finance, fundraising, or pension schemes would be helpful but isn’t essential.
You’ll be comfortable chairing meetings and will promote a collaborative team environment.
We welcome applications from people with a broad range of backgrounds and from all sections of the community.
Time commitment
We’ll ask you to participate in four two-hour Board Meetings per year, either in person at our office in London, which has a lift, or remotely. They are in Feb, May, Aug and Nov on Thursday evenings from 5-7pm.
We also get together for a strategy day in September which is held on a weekday in London, and you’d need to attend that in person. We can support with any access needs for in-person meetings.
The Audit and Risk committee also meets four times a year, two weeks ahead of the Board meetings. Meetings are virtual and scheduled for two hours.
