The Music Therapy Charity (MTC), a national charity, seeks a new Governor who would be
responsible for developing a new Fundraising Committee.
The Charity is currently going through an exciting period of development, having recently
undertaken a strategic review, recruited new Governors in order to diversify the Board and
bring in new skills, developed new Mission, Vision and Why statements, and just this month
launched a new website. Our work can be seen online here: www.musictherapy.org.uk

that aims to provide support for trainee music therapists and researchers, for both large and
smaller research projects, developing knowledge of music therapy practice in all contexts.

Manager and the Event Organising Committee. You will need relevant experience in
fundraising for charitable organisations, board membership, and ideally have knowledge of,
or an interest in, music therapy.

One in-person Away Day meeting per year, currently alternating between
Cambridge and London
As Chair of the Fundraising Committee:
Chairing committee meetings
Overseeing implementation of the Fundraising Strategy (a new strategy is
currently being drawn up by our Fundraising Consultant)
It may also include attendance at fundraising events and periodic conferences in
addition to the annual Away Day.
