The Powell-Cotton Trust (PCT) is looking to recruit new trustees with one or more of the following specific skills: business finance and/or charity fundraising; property and/or investment management; gardens and social & therapeutic horticulture; learning & engagement; HR and/or project management. We also wish to appoint a new Chair of Trustees.
The Powell-Cotton Trust is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), registered charity number 1167318, established in 2021 to govern the Powell-Cotton Museum, Quex House and Gardens. It replaces earlier charitable bodies, which have been in existence in one form or another since 1926.
This is an exciting time to join the board to provide governance and leadership for the Trust during a transformative period. This began with our reopening for the 2025 season in February with the first instalment of a museum-wide renewal and interpretation project.
You will be joining the Trust at a truly unique moment as we are about to receive a very significant inheritance that will provide us with the financial platform to allow us to develop and grow the Trust’s profile and offer, building on the success of our achievements to date.
