INVERCLYDE CULTURE COLLECTIVE

Inverclyde Culture Collective Lead Partners are:

*Inverclyde Council (Lead)

*CVS Inverclyde – who support, promote and represent Inverclyde’s third sector organisations.

*RIG Arts - a multi-award winning socially engaged arts charity based in Inverclyde

*Beacon Art Centre - a contemporary theatre and arts venue in the heart of Inverclyde

*The Wyllieum - a gallery in Greenock celebrating the work and legacy of artist George Wyllie

*Creative Recovery Inverclyde - an arts strand nestled within the heart of Your Voice’s Lived

*Theatre School of Scotland (TSOS) – who offer a variety of performing arts classes in Greenock

Our proposal builds on the success of our previous Inverclyde Culture Collective (ICC 2021-2023) to create 18 months of new activity from June 2026 devised from the Inverclyde Arts & Creativity Action Plan (2024-2029). Our overall focus will be an exploration of our “Creative Health” – a strong thread that emerged through previous delivery, leading to the inclusion of a “Creative Health Statement” within the “Inverclyde Health & Social Care Strategic Commissioning Plan” (2024 – 2027). We will also explore themes linked to the Climate Crisis, including climate anxiety.

This project will create paid opportunities for both salaried and freelance Creative Practitioners to engage with communities that have low arts engagement. Inverclyde Culture Collective will provide both emerging and established artists with the opportunity to push the boundaries of their own practice and look for radical solutions to sensitively collaborate and make work with local communities.

We work in partnership with deaf children, young people and their families, empowering them to ask for what they need, understand their rights and know that their voice matters.

We believe in the power of community. Deaf children belong not only to the deaf community but to many other communities — at school, in hobbies, in friendship groups and across all areas of life. We are committed to strengthening and connecting these communities, helping society become more confident and equipped to include, value and support deaf children so they can participate fully without barriers.

Role Purpose

We are seeking a trustee with expertise in fundraising, partnerships and income generation to help WSDCS grow its impact and secure resources for vital services.

You will work with the board and staff team to:

· Develop and guide WSDCS’ fundraising strategy

· Support the organisation in building partnerships and donor relationships

· Advise on campaign planning, grant applications and income diversification

· Help maximise opportunities for community engagement and fundraising events

Who Would Thrive on Our Board

You don’t need prior trustee experience, but you should bring:

· Experience in fundraising, development, partnerships, or income generation

· A passion for making a difference for deaf children and young people

· Ability to attend occasional in-person meetings in Glasgow city centre

We are looking for someone who can think strategically and creatively about income generation and help embed a culture of sustainable fundraising across the organisation.

What You’ll Bring

· Connection to/understanding of deafness or the deaf community

· Fundraising strategy, partnerships, and income generation

Why Join Us

As a WSDCS trustee, you will:

· Help shape strategic fundraising initiatives to support deaf children and families

· Influence the future sustainability of an impactful, community-focused charity

· Work alongside a passionate and experienced board and staff team committed to inclusion and accessibility

We’re Recruiting: Community Development Worker – Community Link Up

Community Link Up is growing — and we’re looking for someone who believes in people, relationships and the power of communities to create change.

This role isn’t just about managing a project. It’s about walking alongside people in the Three Towns and Kilwinning, creating spaces where families feel supported, valued and able to shape what happens in their own communities.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Understands that relationships come first

• Values lived experience as expertise

• Can support people to build confidence, connection and collective action

• Believes in doing things with communities, not to them

You’ll work in a small team, work closely with local people and partners, and help grow community-led activity that responds to what really matters — from poverty and inequality to isolation and wellbeing.

This is a chance to be part of something that is:

• People-led

• Trauma-informed

• Asset-based

• Rooted in care, trust and hope

If you’re someone who listens deeply, leads with compassion, and wants to be part of building something meaningful — we’d love to hear from you.

Application notes

The Welcoming Association is a charity dedicated to supporting New Scots (asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants) in Edinburgh to build positive, integrated lives.

We are seeking new Board Members to help guide and deliver our vision of a more welcoming, diverse, and inclusive city. Our current Board and staff team are deeply committed, passionate, and bring a wide range of lived and professional experiences. We are excited to expand this collective strength by welcoming several new Trustees.

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals who can complement our existing Board with some of the skills and experience set out in the role description. We warmly encourage applications from people with lived experience of migration, as well as those from Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnic backgrounds.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to:

• Help shape strategy and influence change at both local and national levels.

Help shape the future of a fostering and adoption charity with over 100 years of impact.

We are seeking an inspiring and values driven Chair of the Board to lead our Trustees at a pivotal point in our journey. With a proud history of delivering adoption services for more than a century, the charity has grown to also provide a mainstream fostering service, alongside our therapy centre, supporting children, young people and families living within a 60 mile radius of our office in Edinburgh. A key focus of our current strategy is to improve the overall financial resilience of the organisation by broadening our philanthropic support base and extending our services to the sector more widely on a fee-paying basis.

As Chair, you will provide inclusive leadership to the Board, ensure strong governance and safeguarding, and work in close partnership with the Chief Executive to set strategic direction and uphold our mission and values. You will help ensure the organisation is financially sustainable, well governed, and delivering the highest quality outcomes for children and families, and you will support the Chief Executive in delivering the strategic objectives of the organisation.

This is a voluntary role, requiring approximately 2–3 days per month, and offers a meaningful opportunity to use your leadership experience to make a lasting difference. We welcome applications from individuals who share our commitment to children’s rights, equity, diversity and inclusion. Lived experience of fostering, adoption or care is particularly valued.

Join us and help shape the next chapter of our work for Scotland’s children.
