Spread the Word is looking for two new passionate and ambitious Trustees to join our Board. We are looking for individuals who can sharpen our thinking and bring new and diverse experience to the table as we chart our way through a new era for Spread the Word.
This is an exciting opportunity for individuals looking to strengthen London’s leading literature development agency, at a time of significant development and challenge for the sector. Of equal importance to us is finding trustees who share our mission of helping London’s writers make their mark – on the page, the screen and in the world.
We are clear that to do this with vision and confidence we must have a greater diversity of voices, and so we are particularly keen to hear from candidates from backgrounds currently under-represented in our leadership and governance (Black, Asian and Global Majority, LGBTQI, deaf or disabled candidates).
If you think you would enjoy the challenge of helping us and share our ambitions to create an inclusive, diverse, sustainable organisation, we would be delighted to hear from you. We interviewed some of our Trustees to find out about their roles here.
