Arts & Business Board Services

Specialist advice on how to energise your board, enhance their skills and expand your potential donor network.

Given the complexity of the corporate world – and the fierce competition for marketing and CSR budgets – arts organisations need expert leadership to secure funding. We offer tailored skills, training, advice and support for boards and board members, providing the practical help and elusive insight that can make all the difference.

Board Bank

Our Board Bank service connects business people with arts organisations, allowing them to bring their distinctive qualities to the cultural sector. They come to us with business acumen, vision and energy – and a passion for the arts. We train them in good governance and help them understand their new roles and responsibilities. Then we match them with boards of suitable arts and cultural organisations to achieve a mutually valuable, lasting board level relationship.

While we cannot guarantee to find you a board member, since 1988 we have placed more than 5,000 business people as non-executive board members and advisors with not-for-profit arts organisations.

Please contact Rachel Pyke – Rachel.Pyke@artsandbusiness.org.uk for more information.
