Have you got what it takes

Have you got what it takes to help manage and direct  a small but dynamic charity?

The West Somerset Railway Heritage Trust (formerly the Steam Trust) is looking for two Trustees to join the Board. In addition to their corporate responsibilities, each Trustee will lead on a specific portfolio. These are safety management and heritage carriage restoration. The charity has a full programme of work derived from its Business Plan and is in the process of completing a Natural Heritage Lottery Fund project on the Gauge Museum at Bishops Lydeard station.

If you think you have the skills and interests that you believe would benefit the Trust, then a copy of the role profile and portfolio specification can be obtained from:

Steve Williams, Acting Chairman

If after reading the information, you would like to have an informal discussion before deciding to apply, then please contact Steve Williams on 01823-462898 or 07748-637209. Closing date for this round of applications is Sunday, 28 February 2021.

We look forward to hearing from you.
