Winchester Poetry Festival seeks a Trustee Treasurer

Winchester Poetry Festival wishes to appoint a Trustee Treasurer to join its Board of Trustees.

With a year-round remit, Winchester Poetry Festival was launched in 2013 and is a registered charity (Charity No: 1150097)

Our current treasurer, Sue Spiers, is planning to step down at the end of 2026, after 10 years in the role. We are therefore now seeking a new Trustee Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees and work with Chair and Trustees ensuring sound financial administration, reporting and oversight of the work. This is an important role within the organisation, helping the trustees to maintain sound financial management and ensuring that WPF meets its financial and charitable responsibilities.

This is an unpaid voluntary trustee role. The role is flexible and combines practical financial administration with an overview of the Festival’s financial position.

The role offers an opportunity to play a significant part in supporting the financial health and sustainability of Winchester Poetry Festival. Previous experience as a charity treasurer or trustee would be helpful but is not essential. We would particularly welcome applications from people who have relevant financial, accounting or business experience and who would enjoy contributing their skills to a well- established local arts organisation.

For further information, find the Role Description here.

To express interest, please send us a short CV and covering statement, outlining your interest in the work of WPF, highlighting the skills and experience you would bring to the Trustee Treasurer role.

Please email: hello@winchesterpoetryfestival.org

If you would like an informal discussion about the role, or have any questions, please contact our Chair, Jane Bryant: chair@winchesterpoetryfestival.org 

Deadline for expressions of interest: Monday 30th November 2026 23:59
