China Plate are looking for new Trustees to join our friendly and dynamic Board . If you are interested in the ways arts and culture can have a positive impact on the world, we'd love to hear from you. China Plate is an arts charity based in Birmingham and working across the West Midlands, the UK and internationally. We're producers: we work with people to make creative projects happen. Our projects include theatre shows, training programmes, audio anthologies, short films and bus stop galleries. Our artistic programme is underpinned by our four core values: creativity , optimism, integrity and inclusivity . We're now looking for new Trustees who share these values and who, like us, are interested in bringing communities together to produce creative projects that fire the imagination, make positive change and are open to all. Our Trustees meet four times a year to discuss the company's strategy and progress, and to ensure we are meeting all our legal requirements. These Board meetings are hybrid: you can join us online or in our Birmingham office. Trustees are not paid: they are volunteers who give their time to support charities. However, at China Plate we can cover costs like travel expenses for meetings and events. If Trustees have access requirements - for example if you require BSL interpretation, captioning, or information provided in particular formats - we will also put these into place. You do not need to have been part of a Board before to join. You could be based in the West Midlands or elsewhere in the UK. We are looking to recruit new Trustees from either inside or outside the arts sector, including those who may not yet be familiar with our work. We're interested in hearing from anyone who shares our values, is excited by what we're doing and is keen to support, question and challenge us. We would particularly like to recruit one Trustee who is a young person (18-30) who has previously taken part in one of China Plate's Training & Development programmes - such as The Optimists, Young Producers, or our internships and placements. Deadline to apply is 12pm (midday) on Wednesday 30th September 2026 . If you'd like to find out more, please visit our website to download the Trustee Recruitment pack. If you'd like to have a conversation about the role prior to applying, please email our Executive Director Chloe.
