We are seeking a motivated and dynamic individual who is passionate about brass banding's future to join our Board of Trustees as the Treasurer.

We are particularly interested in individuals with experience in finance, accounting or strategic financial oversight - especially those who can support effective financial governance and bring clarity to complex financial matters.

About us

Brass Bands England is a national registered charity and membership organisation representing over 600 brass bands. More than 30,000 people of all ages and backgrounds participate on at least a weekly basis in this friendly, healthy and artistic pastime.

Our work includes educating the public on the importance and value of brass bands, and promoting good practice in performance. In addition, we engage with a wide range of partners in strategic and operational ways to help share the fun, challenges and rewards of being involved with a brass band.

Our aim is to be a voice for all brass bands and their players and extol the life-enhancing virtues of the art-form. The Board of Trustees is passionate and committed to supporting the brass band sector and recognises the importance of diversifying the sector to ensure its future.

Why become a trustee?

As a trustee, you can make meaningful change to a sector you are passionate about and gain valuable experience in how charities are run and developed. You will be actively involved in discussions and visioning about future projects, directly contributing to our work, and gaining valuable transferable skills for future employment.
