Trustee — Friends of Lydiard Park
The Friends of Lydiard Park are seeking to appoint a new trustee to help guide the next phase in the development of one of Wiltshire’s most significant historic estates.
Since 1967, the Friends have supported the conservation, stewardship, and public engagement work of Lydiard Park and House in partnership with Swindon Borough Council. The charity plays an active role in supporting restoration and acquisition projects, learning programmes, archival collections, volunteering, advocacy, and long-term strategic planning.
We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with senior-level experience in:
* Heritage, museums, or historic landscapes and environments
* Education and learning (at the school or university level)
* Grant funding and strategic leadership
* Community partnerships and public engagement
Applicants may also bring experience from comparable cultural institutions or charitable bodies, alongside a commitment to the future of Lydiard Park as a place of heritage, learning, and community life.
This is a voluntary trustee role offering the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the long-term sustainability and development of an important historic site. As we look ahead, we are seeking fresh perspectives, practical thinkers, and people willing to roll up their sleeves to help guide the charity forward. Familiarity with Swindon / North Wiltshire would be an additional benefit. Living in Swindon is not a necessity.
