Thank you for your interest in the position of Trustee of the Royal Commonwealth Society.
The Royal Commonwealth Society (RCS) is one of the oldest and most respected charities dedicated to the Commonwealth, with a long history and a reach and influence that far exceeds our size.
This is an exciting time to join the RCS. As we approach our 160th year in 2028, we are looking at new ways to celebrate and support the Commonwealth, working closely with the Commonwealth Secretariat and key stakeholders, we organise events like the Commonwealth Day Celebrations. Promoting these digitally around the Commonwealth and continuing to grow and introduce new programmes in support of our three pillars of activity – the Environment, Education and Equality – are our areas of priority.
We are looking to appoint 3 Trustees to join us to guide and support our enthusiastic team and volunteers. The trustees will can bring expertise to help the RCS make the most of opportunities of our anniversary and beyond, with significant events in the UK and digitally, globally, to help expand our programmes and who are enthused by our vision and wants to use their expertise to help us achieve and grow.
We are looking for someone who has considerable expertise in one or more of the following areas: fundraising, media and/or events management. A background in the Commonwealth is not required. We are especially keen to hear from people from a wide range of backgrounds.
If you are interested in taking on this exciting opportunity to join us we look forward to hearing from you.
