Wyre Forest District Council is looking for skilled volunteers to play a key role in establishing Bewdley Museum as a fully independent trust.

The council is on the search for between five and seven voluntary trustees to sit on a new board to negotiate and manage Bewdley Museum’s transition.

Board members will also work together to shape its future by agreeing forward-thinking strategies, a business plan and more.

The council wants to attract local people who have had previous experience being a trustee or worked in the museum sector. It is also hoped that people with specific skill sets in finance, law, business and HR apply.

Details on how to apply can be found at reachvolunteering.org.uk/opp/bewdley-museum-trustee. The closing date for applications is Friday 30 April.

Ali Bakr, manager of Bewdley Museum said: “This is an excellent opportunity to be part of our small, friendly team and be actively involved with Bewdley Museum.

“You will also develop your skills, make a real difference in establishing a new trust on a successful footing and shape the museum’s future.

Love Local Business follows on from the successful campaign, of the same name, which we ran in the Shuttle/Advertiser last summer and over Christmas.

The aim is to promote all the fantastic traders we have in our towns and urge our readers to give them their custom at this key time as the struggle to overcome the financial implications of the pandemic.

As part of the Newsquest publishing group, the Shuttle/Advertiser reaches a huge percentage of the local population across our well-established regional brands including print publications, record online audiences and social media.

Any business which wants to be featured in the campaign call 01905 742372 or email dale.godliman@localiq.co.uk.
