Chair


Non-remunerated



Established in 1994, Impact Arts is Scotland’s leading arts charity and social enterprise, whose vision is for a Scotland where people benefit from life transforming creativity that tackles inequalities and addresses poverty.



We transform people’s lives through participation in creative activities, and we use creative engagement to build people’s confidence and empower them to achieve their potential.


We place innovation, enterprise and creativity alongside outstanding delivery, sound management and a strong ethos of partnership to tackle society’s big issues. Our talented in-house and freelance artists across Scotland and beyond ensure that our artistic programmes, exhibitions, performances and events are of the highest quality. We exist to inspire creativity in people and regenerate our communities through a deep and rewarding relationship with the arts.



We are governed by our Board that comprises up to 13 Trustees. All Trustees, including our Chair, are volunteers and uphold and represent our purpose, vision, values and mission in a personal and professional capacity. They come from a range of backgrounds with experiences including youth work, equalities, mental health, social enterprise, placemaking, finance, HR and creative arts. As a result they bring a wealth of experience and skills to the role. In order to take the organisation forward, the Trustees wish to appoint a new Chair who will lead the organisation over the coming years.



Impact Arts has been through a period of significant growth & development over the last couple of years, launching our new social enterprise venue The Boardwalk in Glasgow’s City Centre in March 2023 (finalist for Social Enterprise of the Year in 2025) and developing a life journey through the arts, supporting people at each key life stage. Looking to the future, we are hugely ambitious for the organisation and want to develop the impact we have achieved across all the groups we work with. Our dedicated Board and Leadership Team are aware of the challenges that exist for people living with the effects of poverty in Scotland and are committed to the power of creativity in tackling these.



The Chair of the Board position is an exciting opportunity to build on over 30 years of successful creative delivery and to shape the future direction of one of Scotland’s most significant creative arts organisations and the impact it has for people and communities living with poverty and inequalities in Scotland.
