So, what’s being a Trustee really like? Hear what our current Trustees had to say below!
Claire Ward, Director of Audiences at The Curve: "Jumped Up is on a really exciting journey. It’s a privilege to be a Trustee for such a remarkable cultural organisation that gives so much to the people and communities of Peterborough."
Helena Del Pino, Poet, Yogi, and Bretton Vicar: “To be a trustee is to be a changemaker. It allows you to be the change you want to see in the world.”
Mark Smedley, Operations Director at Woolwich Works: “Becoming a trustee for Jumped Up gives you the opportunity to affect important cultural change in an ever-evolving area like Peterborough. You can be proud to know you could help reinvigorate Northern Soul, bring artists like Jo Fong to the area, or enable a sounding board for the voice of the creative youth (to list just a few things!)”
Jennifer Huygen, Head of Policy and Strategic Partnerships at Community Leisure UK: “Being a Trustee at Jumped Up gives the unique opportunity to learn about and support local arts and cultural activity that truly makes a difference in people's lives. Helping the organisation with their strategy and forward planning is exciting. And with a committed staff team and skilled Board, Jumped Up has a bright future ahead.”
