Join Us!

It’s an exciting time at Opera Sunderland and we want you to be part of it. Are you passionate about sharing your skills? Do you want to help a small charity thrive and reach its potential? Do you love Sunderland and want to get involved at a pivotal time in our organisation? 

We are seeking new volunteer board members to bring an energy and set of skills that complement those already on our brilliant board of trustees. 

Maybe you have a passion for working in community engagement? Perhaps you have are experienced in business development and want to put your skills to good use? Are you a  budding or experienced fundraiser who just loves to turn their hand to bid writing, or getting busy on social media and marketing our work?  Maybe you work in intellectual property and want to help a charity navigate this tricky area?  Or even it could be as simple as you have a great enthusiasm for singing and want to be part of this in any way you can.

We would particularly love to hear from you if you are from an area of the community that is underrepresented in the arts.

Come and be part of our lively and committed team.

 

We meet up to 6 times a year including the AGM in November, and in this new world of online meetings, we welcome those that would need a hybrid option to attend.

To Apply:

Please send a CV and covering letter telling us why you want to be part of our team, and what you would bring to the table as a chair and/or a trustee of Opera Sunderland to our Artistic Director, Alison Barton alison@operasunderland.co.uk
