The Sustainable Inshore Fisheries Trust (SIFT) is a registered Scottish charity (No.SC042334) founded in 2011. SIFT promotes the sustainable development of Scotland's inshore waters so that they provide the maximum long-term socio-economic and environmental benefits to all Scotland’s coastal communities. Further information about SIFT’s activities can be found at its website sift.scot

To support SIFT's continued success, we are looking for new members of our board of trustees. SIFT would be pleased to receive applications from individuals with practical experience of working in marine fisheries, or who live and work in coastal communities, or who have a knowledge of charity finance.

SIFT's board members set and review SIFT's strategy and governance to ensure the charity meets its charitable objectives and legal obligations. Board members also provide advice to SIFT staff on projects on an ad hoc basis. There are four formal board meetings annually, which generally take place in Edinburgh or by teleconference. Trustees are unremunerated but any reasonable expenses they incur in the course of their work for SIFT will be reimbursed.

Provan Hall is an A listed medieval building located in Auchinlea Park, which sits at the heart of Easterhouse.

Following its restoration, Provan Hall is managed and operated by the Provan Hall Community Management Trust.

We aim to provide opportunities that connect local people and visitors to Provan Hall through inclusive and creative means of heritage interpretation and activities.
