Leisure & Culture Dundee (L&CD) is an independent Scottish charity that delivers many of Dundee's leisure, sport, library, cultural and heritage services on behalf of the city. From leisure centres and wellbeing programmes to museums, libraries, events and cultural venues, our services make a positive difference to the lives of millions of residents and visitors every year.

Guided by our values of service excellence, collaboration, innovation and inclusion, we are committed to creating a healthier, more connected and vibrant Dundee. As we deliver our Corporate Strategy 2025-2029, we are seeking two new independent Trustees to help shape the next chapter of our journey.

As a Trustee, you will play an important strategic role in supporting the governance, sustainability and long-term success of Leisure & Culture Dundee.

Working alongside fellow Trustees, elected members and the Senior Management Team, you will help shape organisational strategy, oversee performance and financial stewardship, ensure effective risk management and provide constructive challenge to support sound decision-making.

This is an opportunity to contribute your expertise to an organisation that has a significant impact on communities across Dundee, while developing valuable Board-level experience within a supportive and collaborative environment.

The commitment averages circa one to two days per month and includes Board meetings, Committee participation, strategic planning activities and attendance at key organisational events. Appointments are for a six-year term commencing following the AGM in November 2026.

We are looking for people who are passionate about improving lives through leisure, sport, culture and learning, and who can bring fresh perspectives, strategic insight and strong professional judgement to our Board.

Previous Trustee experience is not essential. We welcome applications from individuals who can demonstrate leadership experience, sound decision-making skills and a commitment to good governance.

We are particularly interested in candidates with expertise in:

• Digital Leadership and Digital Transformation - experience using technology to improve services, accessibility, customer experience and organisational effectiveness.
• Income Generation and Diversification - experience in commercial growth, fundraising, partnerships, business development or creating sustainable income streams.

If you're looking for an opportunity to contribute your skills to an organisation at the heart of Dundee's communities while helping shape its future direction, we'd love to hear from you.

Make a real difference to people living with dementia and their families.

STAND is a Fife charity led by people with lived experience of dementia. We believe that life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis — people can continue to grow, connect and enjoy new experiences. Nine trustees currently sit on STAND's Board of Trustees and, as a peer-led charity, three (including the Chairperson) live with dementia, three are/were carers and three have professional backgrounds.

We are currently seeking the following new Trustees to share with us their experience, talents, and passions:

• Trustee Secretary (further details attached)
• Trustee (ideally with experience in fundraising, but experience in campaigning, marketing, HR, creative pursuits or digital technology would also be beneficial).

Insight or personal experience of dementia or caring responsibilities would be an advantage. The STAND team is friendly and supportive, and you will be working with the charity's Development Lead and Administration Officer alongside trustees, volunteers, staff and members of the charity.

The Board of Trustees currently convenes every six weeks (usually from 2.00pm – 3.30pm), with the AGM in the autumn. Office Bearers and senior staff meetings usually take place quarterly. Most meetings are held in Kirkcaldy and travel expenses are reimbursed up to 30 miles from Kirkcaldy. Rarely, an additional Extraordinary General Meeting of the Board may take place.

Between meetings, it will be necessary to work remotely.

Help us shape the next chapter for Kinloch Historical Society

Kinloch Historical Society is looking for an ambitious, practical and community-minded Business Development Manager to help us build a strong and sustainable future for our Society and Kinloch Community Hub.

This is an exciting opportunity to take a leading role in developing new income streams, increasing use of our facilities, growing our visitor and tourism offer, developing partnerships and helping us realise the potential of our unique heritage and archive.

Working closely with our Board, community, volunteers and external partners, you will develop and implement a Growth Plan designed to strengthen the Society's long-term financial and organisational sustainability while delivering meaningful benefits for the Kinloch community.

The opportunity

Over the next three years, we want to:

• increase earned income and reduce our reliance on grant funding;
• develop and market Kinloch Community Hub and its facilities;
• increase visitor numbers and build relationships with tour and cruise operators;
• explore new ways of sharing and generating income from our extensive archive;
• develop partnerships with universities, schools and other organisations;
• increase community participation and opportunities for people of all ages;
• develop our café and facilities as a sustainable year-round offer; and
• identify new opportunities that will strengthen the Society beyond 2029.

We are looking for someone who can combine commercial thinking with community purpose – someone who can spot an opportunity, build the relationships needed to develop it and then turn a good idea into practical action.

About You

• You will have experience in business development, enterprise, organisational development or a comparable field, together with an understanding of business planning, budgeting and income generation.
• You will be an excellent communicator and relationship builder, comfortable working with everyone from local residents and volunteers to tourism businesses, universities, public agencies and potential commercial partners.
• You will understand the opportunities and challenges of developing sustainable activity within a rural community and will be able to work independently, manage projects and take ownership of delivering results.
• Experience in community development, tourism, heritage, hospitality, social enterprise or the third sector would be particularly welcome.
• Knowledge of Lewis and an affinity with the culture, heritage and community of the area would also be advantageous.

Above all, we are looking for someone who is entrepreneurial, proactive, collaborative and motivated by making a difference.
