Big changes are afoot at the city’s Roman Baths in an effort to attract more funding for conservation and education work.
They are being set up as a Foundation – a charitable company – which will also be able to promote all aspects of learning, access and study as an on-going advocate for the unique world-famous ancient site.
The Foundation is registered with Companies House and will shortly apply for charitable status with the Charity Commission.
Now it’s looking to appoint trustees to its Board. People who would bring skills, knowledge or experience in one or more of the following areas:
charity law
charity finance
history and interpretation of Bath / the Roman Baths
heritage sector fundraising
heritage sector learning
heritage sector conservation
membership organisations
networking and advocacy
marketing and PR
I am told that prior charity experience and availability to attend meetings in Bath will be advantageous. Board meetings will be held in Bath at quarterly intervals.
The first task for the Foundation will be supporting the development of the Archway Centre which will create a state-of-the-art Roman Baths Learning Centre and a much-needed World Heritage Visitor Centre in the heart of Bath.
If you are interested in becoming a trustee of the Roman Baths Foundation, you are asked to send an up-to-date CV and a letter setting out your suitability against these criteria to:
Stephen Bird, Company Secretary
The Roman Baths Foundation
c/o The Pump Room
Stall Street
Bath BA1 1LZ
stephen_bird@bathnes.gov.uk (link sends e-mail)
Trustees must be at least 18 years old and not disqualified by law from acting as charity trustees.
The closing date for expressions of interest is Friday 29 May 2015.
