Love Glasgow’s heritage? Help steer Glasgow Building Preservation Trust’s strategic direction

We are seeking new voluntary board members to join our board of trustees.

Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is a charity which rescues and re-purposes historic buildings across Glasgow.

We have a legacy of over 40 years of working throughout the city, returning buildings at risk back to their communities from The Briggait, to Castlemilk Stables, Glasgow’s blue police boxes and amazing places like Kelvingrove Bandstand.

We introduced Doors Open Days to the UK and still run the much-loved Glasgow Doors Open Days Festival every September, providing free access to historic buildings and exclusive talks, walks, tours and other experiences.

We believe deeply that heritage and history are for everyone and work hard to help Glaswegians remember and celebrate their city’s stories.

No previous trustee experience is required. Please see our role description, and Reach Volunteering’s guide to Becoming a Trustee for more information.

Successful candidates will be offered attendance to Culture & Business Scotland’s Introduction to Being a Board Member training to ensure you have the tools to help us.

We believe that our board should reflect Glasgow’s diversity and particularly welcome applicants from minority ethnic backgrounds.

We encourage applications from people with experience in finance, law or fundraising/philanthropy at this time, but we are also interested in good people from all professional backgrounds.

The board meets four times a year, and trustees might also attend interim and sub-committee meetings and Trust events in addition to this.

The purpose of this post is to deliver Wise Women’s volunteering opportunities, courses and groups to women in the Glasgow area, to develop learning opportunities within the organisation and to link women to external training and learning organisations. This post is office based.

You will be skilled in groupwork and will have experience of working with women who have experienced violence and abuse.

Wise Women is not a crisis service, but you will be required to have an understanding of survivors needs in a groupwork environment.

The nature of our work requires a commitment to the feminist analysis of male violence against women. Wise Women is a single sex service provider under the Equality Act 2010.
