Groundswell Request (SAC Recommended)

Organisation Description

Groundswell exists to coalesce and catalyse creative community in Newquay, Cornwall.

Eighteen months old, it is a dynamic CIC characterised by a strong founder/starter personality (me! and with all the strengths challenges this comes with!)

Working at delivery/very grassroots level AND high-level placemaking strategic level.

Making this happen that don’t exist in Newquay – events, festivals, talent-development, socially mindful projects, strategic agitation/advocacy for the role that the creative sector/creativity can play in local placemaking.

No meaningful governance board (only one silent director).

What are they looking for?

Someone with strong entrepreneurial experience who understands this well Someone with experience with the public sector - indeed a someone who is a bit of a superconnector and thrives on making connections between people and ideas, and agendas. Someone who can help me think clearly and plan the next five years. Someone who can help the CIC build up a non-funding-dependent approach. Reserves needed to make it sustainable, and to be able to invest in projects or provide match from the bank account. Somebody kind! Virtual is fine. In-person a bonus :) I am very flexible in terms of time commitments.
