East Grinstead Museum, an independent volunteer run charitable trust, currently has six Trustees, who wish to increase the Board’s skills by recruiting an additional three trustees to help take the Museum forward into its next phase of development.

The Trustees long term aim for the Museum is an expansion, so that it can fully tell the story of Sir Archibald McIndoe, the WW2 pioneering plastic surgeon and his patients who formed the Guinea Pig Club. In the short term there are plans for a small redevelopment of an existing part of the Museum.

The trustees are looking for people with an interest in local history or museums and heritage and who have experience of trusteeship/committee member of a charity or other voluntary organisation. There is a need for individuals with skills in management, marketing/PR, HR, law or fund raising, particularly grant applications.

Andrew Brock, Chairman of Trustees said, “this is an exciting time to join the board and play a part in a significant development.”
