TRUSTEES
High Peak Community Arts is managed by a voluntary management committee who are also trustees of the charity. The management committee is elected each year by our members at the Annual General Meeting. We strive to be accountable to the community and we encourage broad membership.
Current trustees include people with a background in journalism, education, voluntary services and business communications. We also have project participants on the board and partners who work with us on projects.

STAFF
There are three members of staff who work part time: two creative project managers and operations & fundraising manager. We also have a freelance website manager. We have no no chief executive or managing director. In fact, there is no hierarchy at all. We work collaboratively to make sure the organisation runs efficiently and we develop specific areas of work according to our expertise, passion and commitment. By the way, it’s a great place to work. We are…….
Programme Manager, Creative Arts, Health and Wellbeing
Creative Programme Manager, Youth Arts
Operations & Fundraising Manager
Website Manager (also a Primatologist & PhD Creative Writing student).
FREELANCE ARTISTS
We also work with a large pool of freelance artists and project co-ordinators. We’re always keen to meet new artists who have experience of working with people, and we pass on recommendations to schools, agencies and other organisations. Each year we contract as many as 50 freelance artists.
This approach keeps us small and flexible; able to bring in the right team for the right project.
