As a Trustee, you will:

• Contribute to the strategic direction and good governance of the museum
• Support the charity’s mission to preserve and share the stories of radar
• Champion the museum’s values of accessibility, inclusivity, and excellence
• Provide oversight and insight in areas such as finance, fundraising, community engagement, or heritage management

We meet ten times a year, with occasional additional meetings and events.

• Charity governance or finance
• Fundraising and development
• Digital innovation or marketing
• Community or education work
• Museum, heritage, or cultural sectors

Participation as a volunteer at the Museum would be particularly welcome. No prior Trustee experience is necessary—we offer a warm welcome and induction for new Trustees.
