Board Advisors

The Red Brick Building is a Community Benefit Society - a unique, vibrant hub for culture, art, community, and enterprise, serving Glastonbury, Street, and the surrounding areas. Our vision is to continue to grow a space alive with energy and creativity — a place where everyone is welcome to connect, collaborate, and thrive.

Over the past decade, we've built something we’re proud of: an award-winning community garden, a rich heritage project, an in-house café, coworking spaces, and a diverse programme of events, classes, and cultural activity.

But like many grassroots organisations, we’re now facing serious financial and operational challenges. This is a pivotal moment in Red Brick’s story. We are seeking passionate, skilled individuals to join us as Board Advisors — bringing insight, expertise, and energy to help steer us through a critical phase of, recovery and renewal.

We’re particularly require advisors with experience in:

• Legal and governance
• Finance
• Construction

Board Advisors will support the core board and staff team with strategic input, problem-solving, and practical guidance. These are not formal trustee/director roles, but an opportunity to contribute meaningfully without full governance responsibility.

If you believe in the power of community spaces, want to play a hands-on role in shaping the future of a much-loved organisation, and are ready to meet a challenge with clarity and commitment — we’d love to hear from you.

Time Commitment & Expectations

We ask Board Advisors to commit to:

• Attending two meetings per month (online or preferably person)
• Providing occasional input on key issues between meetings (via email or phone)

This is an unpaid voluntary role, but one where your time and skills can make a genuine impact on community. The initial advisory period is three to six months, after which there may be the opportunity to join the board in a formal capacity, by mutual agreement.

What You’ll Help Make Possible

In return for your time, you’ll be part of something truly meaningful. Your insight and support will directly contribute to keeping vital community initiatives alive from our community garden outreach and weekly drop-in sessions (in partnership with Glastonbury Mental Health Network), to our intergenerational heritage project connecting elders and schools, a growing youth group, and a team of dedicated volunteers. You'll be helping to secure the future of a space that brings people together, fosters creativity and wellbeing, and strengthens our community of Street, Glastonbury and the surrounding villages.

Please get in touch for an informal chat to discuss where we are at, what we need and whether you might be able to help.
