Mimbre are a female-led producing company, creating delicate, breathtaking and highly-skilled acrobatic theatre for outdoor and unusual settings, touring nationally and internationally, with a strong digital presence.

Mimbre are now looking for  new Trustees from all walks of life to join our Board. You will join our enthusiastic Board of experts within the fields of theatre, fundraising, academic research, literature and technology.

The Board meets four times a year in east or central London and over Zoom, and in addition the Trustees are asked to offer some specific advice, networking or help in their areas of expertise outside of these meetings. Once a year, to coincide with a board meeting, the board also attend a half day ‘away day’ to discuss Mimbre’s strategy in more depth. Mimbre also encourages Board members to attend local performances and events.

Mimbre’s Board of Trustees provide oversight and strategic direction to the organisation. The number of Trustees at any one time varies between five and nine people, and we always seek to have a mix of different kinds of people to get different views. Additionally:

- Mimbre’s Board of Trustees are also its Directors under company law and have ultimate responsibility for the direction and governance of the organisation, although day-to-day management is delegated to the Artistic and Executive Directors.
- Trustees are appointed for a term of three years, and can be reappointed just once to a maximum of six years.
- Mimbre’s Trustees are volunteers and typically do not receive payment for their time, although travel and accommodation expenses for Board meetings will be reimbursed. However, if not receiving payment for your time is a barrier to you becoming a Trustee, let us know as it is possible to make exceptions.
- All Trustees must make a commitment to safeguard and promote the welfare of the young people that Mimbre work with.
- We ask each board member to contribute financially during the year to the charity – this can be as little as £1, but means that we can say in our annual report that everyone contributes.
- We offer training and a buddy system to make sure that new Trustees feel supported.
