Trustee required to drive Strategic Marketing & Profile Raising for Amisfield Preservation Trust

Have you a track record in strategic marketing and a flair for elevating profiles? Amisfield Preservation Trust (Amisfield.org.uk), a registered charity which has restored and manages the UK’s largest volunteer-led walled garden as a community wellbeing resource for East Lothian, is looking for a trustee to join the Board and help raise our profile, increase our membership and visitor numbers, and underpin a sustainable funding model.

About Us - Based just outside Haddington in East Lothian, Amisfield Preservation Trust is dedicated to preserving and enhancing an eight-acre historic walled garden that offers a serene retreat and wellbeing resource to locals, volunteers and visitors alike. 

The Role - As a Trustee with a strategic marketing focus, you will help:

• Shape Strategic Direction: Provide high-level insight into marketing, communications, and public engagement to elevate the Trust’s profile.

• Boost Stakeholder Engagement: Cultivate relationships with key partners, donors, and the local community to strengthen our brand and secure our future.

• Has a track record of crafting narratives that resonate and build strong brand recognition.

• Is happy to contribute time and expertise in a non-paid trustee capacity.

• Has excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with a board of passionate, like-minded individuals.

Why Join Us? - This is an opportunity to leave a lasting mark by helping ensure the long-term viability of the garden. Amisfield deserves to be more widely known and visited and to have long-term secure funding.
