Bright Shadow Request

Bright Shadow Request

Organisation Description

Serving Kent and Medway, Bright Shadow uses the power of the arts and creativity to enable people living with dementia – and those who give care – to live happy, healthy lives.
We understand the impact of a diagnosis, yet our work fosters positivity: focusing on what we can do, not what we can’t.
People with dementia, family members, expert artists and other professionals are all part of co-creating our ambitious artistic work.

What are they looking for?

In conducting a wide search for new trustees, we're hoping there will be people who put themselves forward that we may never otherwise have been in touch with. So, if you don't see yourself represented here please do put yourself forward; this is in no way an exhaustive list. And if you are new to being a trustee, don't worry, training and support will be provided. We are keen to hear from people with lived experience of dementia, whilst also recognising that other life experiences may give you insights and understanding that could help the organisation to develop. Do you have experience of working in or supporting, larger charity structures, the health and social care sector, or fundraising and philanthropy? Are you an artist or arts sector leader? Are you living with dementia, or supporting someone with a dementia diagnosis? Are you a disabled person and/or someone who in other ways has rights under the Equalities Act 2010? Meetings are held in the evenings quarterly, typically in Canterbury. Hybrid attendance is possible. Along with between-meeting contact, we anticipate this role is approximately 5 hours per month; more as Chair which includes support to the Chief Executive.
