Join our board and connect rural communities to live performance

Become a board member and help shape our future

We’re currently seeking new board members who can lend us their voice, skills and passion to make a difference for rural venues and audiences in the Highland and Islands.

Being a trustee of The Touring Network means you get to:

Shape our future – help guide decisions big and small.
Use your skills for good – whatever you’re great at, it will make a difference.
Learn and grow – gain experience of charity governance, strategy, and leadership. Great if you’re looking to develop your work experience
Be part of something meaningful – join a friendly team all working for a shared cause.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need to be an expert! We welcome people from all walks of life and all ages. We’d love to hear from you if you align with what we believe in and are:

Happy to share your ideas and experience.
Willing to learn about how charities are run.
Able to give a little time (around five meetings a year, plus the odd chat or email in between).

If you have experience in fundraising, community work, digital, lived experience of the issue we support that’s brilliant, but it’s not essential.

We’re especially keen to hear from:

any promoter members in our network
young people aged 18–30 who have experience of living in the region we cover.

You don’t need previous board or charity experience (we would pair you with a mentor) but if you have lived experience of the issues we care about, or skills in areas listed above — that’s brilliant. But most importantly, we want you and your perspective.
