Fundraising Trustee

Wishing Well Music for Health is seeking a fundraising trustee with experience of Individual Giving and Community Fundraising.

You will be part of creating our next 3-year strategic vision which underpins the work of our fantastic team of music for health facilitators. This year, we are taking  important steps towards diversifying our income and increasing financial stability; the fundraiser trustee will play a significant role in this.

Wishing Well brings music to the heart of healthcare. We turn clinical places into cultural spaces to support the wellbeing of people in hospital by creating joy, connection and self-expression. 

Practical Considerations

We meet in person four times a year in Brighton; extra time in between meetings is required and is agreed with the CEO as appropriate. We prefer to meet in person, but some meetings can be held online or in a blended format.

Support Disabled

We meet in accessible venues and offer training and support for all board members. Previous board experience is not necessary. Note that this is a Trustee rather than general volunteering role.

Benefits

• Be part of a small team making a big difference to healthcare settings across Sussex and Surrey.  
  
• Contribute your knowledge and experience to an organisation with real expertise in bringing arts and health together in partnership.
  
• All expenses covered.

What skills do I need?

Wishing Well has a strong track record of funding from NHS charities and from Trusts and Foundations who support the Creative Health movement. In 2025 we worked with a fundraising consultant to consider the best way for us to diversify our income streams. As fundraising trustee, you will work with the CEO to build on these recommendations, providing strategic leadership and oversight of a new individual giving plan which will support the charity to build sustainable income and widen our community of support..

Person Specification:

• Experience in individual giving or similar fundraising fields.
• Commitment to good fundraising governance, ethics and compliance with charity commission.
• Willingness to commit time, expertise, and enthusiasm to support a small but ambitious charity.
• Able to reflect personally and as part of a team, think critically and take a pro-active approach to problem solving.
• Demonstrate a commitment to our values and mission.
• A love of music!
