Trustees have collective and legal responsibility for all aspects of the Trust’s operation. In practice, the Board seeks to have a diverse mixture of experience amongst its membership - and it allocates specific responsibilities to each member of the Board to focus on, with the intention that individual Board members will (i) provide specific support to the executive management, and (ii) have subject matter-experts at Trustees’ Board meetings.

The Trust is currently looking for prospective Board members with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Finance/accounting - someone comfortable Chairing the Finance, Audit and Risk Committee,
- Theatre/comedy industry – ideally as a producer,
- The London commercial/theatrical property scene,
