We are looking for a trustee with experience of marketing to support the extensive programme of events and activities that we run at Brixton's historic windmill.
What difference will you make?
The Friends of Windmill Gardens (FOWG) was set up in 2003 to restore, preserve and enhance Brixton Windmill and Windmill Gardens.

We are a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (1176991).
This role is essential to help promote our extensive programme of events and activities at the windmill. Active engagement, particularly with the local community around the windmill, is central to the vision, mission and purpose of the organisation. Our social media activity also promotes the heritage of this historic building, supporting the educational dimension of our mission.
As a Community Interest Organisation, we are keen that our Board reflects the local community and we particularly welcome applications from local candidates.

What will you be doing?
The role of the Trustee Lead for Marketing and Communications is to support the Board in its efforts to communicate to all stakeholders the visions, mission and purpose of the organisation.
We currently have an active, supportive Board and have just finalised our plan for the next 3 years. As well as being a member of the Board, you will chair the Communications subgroup.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with experience of marketing and communications to gain knowledge and insight into how a charity is run, work with welcoming and engaged trustees and staff, and support an exciting, local community organisation. Check out our website to see our current programme of events and social media activity.
