Celebrating Art & Culture

Sydenham Arts is seeking enthusiastic and committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees and help guide the charity in promoting arts and culture across Sydenham and the wider Lewisham Borough. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in leadership (including seeking interim Chair role), HR and employment, and marketing and communications, though we welcome applications from all backgrounds and skill sets.

As a trustee, you will contribute to the strategic direction, sustainability, and governance of the charity, supporting our mission to provide, promote, and advance the arts for the benefit of the community. You will be part of a collaborative team shaping programmes such as the Winter Welcome Craft Café, Moving with Parkinson’s, the annual Artists Trail, Film Clubs, and initiatives that support young creatives and community wellbeing. Trustees may also have the opportunity to step into Chair or other leadership roles in the future.

We are an equal opportunities organisation and particularly encourage applications from candidates with protected characteristics. Full advice, support, and training will be provided to help you make a real impact.

If you are passionate about the arts, community engagement, and shaping the future of a vibrant local charity, we would love to hear from you.
