The National Youth Brass Band of Great Britain is inviting applications for a number of new voluntary opportunities to support the future development of the organisation.
These include the appointment of three new Trustees, alongside a Volunteer Librarian as part of its continued commitment to strengthening governance and preserving its musical heritage.
Trustee Opportunities
Trustees are sought with expertise in one or more of the following areas:
Archive & Heritage Management
Safeguarding / Health & Safety
Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (ED&I)
A spokesperson told 4BR: "The Trustees will play a key role in supporting the strategic direction and long-term sustainability of the NYBBGB, helping ensure that young musicians continue to benefit from world-class musical opportunities, outstanding pastoral support and financial assistance through the Band's bursary programme."
They added: "Previous trustee experience is not essential. We actively welcome applications from individuals who can bring relevant professional expertise, fresh perspectives and a passion for supporting young people through music."
Volunteer Librarian
A volunteer librarian is sought to help manage and maintain the organisation's extensive music library and archive.
The person would work closely with the artistic and operations teams, support with the preparation of music for courses, rehearsals and concerts, while also helping to preserve its extensive catalogue of music that dates back to 1952.
The spokesperson added: "This role would particularly suit someone with strong organisational skills, attention to detail and an enthusiasm for brass band music and music education. Previous experience as a music librarian is welcomed but not essential."
They added: "These voluntary roles offer a fantastic opportunity to contribute to a nationally recognised arts charity while supporting the musical and personal development of talented young musicians from across the UK."
Reasonable expenses are reimbursed, and much of the work can be undertaken flexibly and remotely.
