About Boom!

Boom! is a small charity working primarily in the North of Glasgow, delivering community art workshops and engaging in local events.

Our freelance administrative staff (total 0.6 FTE) work to support delivery, fundraise, and contribute to our drive to develop new earned income streams.

About our Board

Our existing Board of four are committed, engaged, and have been with the charity since its inception in 2017; we recognise the need for, and welcome, fresh eyes and perspectives. As a small charity which has grown organically and with an eye toward sustainability, we are at a key point in our development as we seek to grow the reach and capacity of the organisation.

Our Chair is regularly an Elf in our annual Santa’s Saunter.

We hope that any potential candidates could commit to a 2-3 year term, and could be involved in progressing pieces of work between board meetings.
