Zoo Co is keen to introduce more deaf and/or disabled people to the practicalities of being a Trustee with an arts organisation
We recognise that volunteer Trusteeships aren't always accessible to deaf and disabled people, so we've set up this programme as an experiment in changing that.
We'd like to offer two people the chance to observe each of our next two Board meetings, supported by our new Board Support Worker.
£100 per Board meeting (approx 0.5 days of work across 2 weeks, per Board date)
Dates: 6th May 6-8PM and 12th Aug 6-8PM
Location: Central London - meetings are usually held at the National Theatre (Central London) in person, though people can join remotely as needed.
You can apply to observe both meetings, or just one (ie. between 2 and 4 people will be selected to take part in this work). Please indicate in your application which dates you’re able to do.
