Trustees Wanted – Join the board of Granton hub
Granton Hub is a small and dynamic organisation based in North Edinburgh and dedicated to the arts, local heritage and the changing Granton community.
We have a vibrant local history group, which organises tours of the area, and a unique archive covering local heritage. We also have an arts group, which organises community art and heritage projects, weekly drawing and painting classes, and weekend arts-related exhibitions and activities. Granton:hub is a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO).
We are located in the historic Madelvic House, which was built in 1898 as the head office of Scotland’s first purpose-built electric car factory. The building is now part of the Council’s Heritage and Place Programme and was recently awarded significant funding to improve accessibility and the interior and exterior fabric of the building. This will support its continued and growing use by the local community and our local arts and heritage projects.
We are all looking forward to exciting new developments in the area, particularly with the new National Galleries of Scotland cultural centre being built almost next door. We anticipate that Granton:hub will play a significant role at the interface between Scottish heritage and the local community.
To help us in this next phase of our community hub work, we are looking for experienced members of the public to join our Board.
We are particularly keen to recruit people who care about arts, heritage and community development; who want to contribute to a local organisation with growing impact; who can bring experience or interest in areas such as governance, fundraising, finance, communications or community engagement; and who reflect the diversity of the Granton community in all its forms.
You do not need prior trustee experience; commitment, sound judgement and a collaborative mindset matter most.
Board meetings are held once a month, usually on the last Friday of the month from 6–8pm. The Board is responsible for ensuring good governance of the charity and supporting our future plans and strategies.
