Gregynog is a place of beauty, heritage, and inspirationandone of Wales’ most important cultural landmarks, which is now independently owned by the Gregynog Trust.
Internationally famous as the former home of renowned art collectors, public benefactors and sisters, Gwendoline and Margaret Davies. ‘Gwen and Daisy’ shared an ambition for everyone to benefit from engagement with and access to Wales’ rich culture and outstanding environment, a vision that remains the beating heart of Gregynog today.
Gregynog has also been described as one of Wales’ most unexpected treasures, with this Grade II-listed hall set in formal Grade I-listed gardens within an extensive special landscape setting at the heart of rural mid-Wales and the county of Powys, offering a truly unique and welcoming setting for everyone.
A place where magic happens and where the Trust aims to create Wales’ most welcoming and cherished home for creativity, nature and the arts. Today, the estate is managed in a way that promotes nature recovery and public access, with the refurbished Hall providing 58 bedrooms for educational residential and day conferences, and access to a rich library and archives.
Trustees (x3) Mid-Wales
Optimistic and ambitious as we look to the future, The Gregynog Trust is now seeking to refresh and build the capacity and capability of the Board and appoint three new trustees to help realise our ambition and ensure long-term sustainability, with the following skills:
Financial and Business Acumen to help develop the next stages of our strategic business and operational planning and ensure that our financial systems and processes evolve efficiently, so that we can continue to manage our finances confidently and proactively.
Estate Management. Experience and an interest in developing the potential of our very special estate, part of which is already a SSSI with a distinctive arboretum. Helping to guide conservation efforts, ensuring that our buildings, gardens, landscape and woodlands are appropriately used, properly maintained and protected.
Event Planning. Culture, learning and the arts are strong features of our heritage and charitable purpose. The ability to shape and enhance cultural and educational programmes, events, and experiences will be key to successful event planning and attracting broader and larger audiences.
We wish to appoint Trustees who share our passion for Gregynog, who can contribute to the governance of the Trust with skill, insight, and care and help conserve and promote Gregynog for future generations, ensuring it remains a vibrant centre for culture, learning, and wellbeing. Among the new appointments, we are also aiming to identify a candidate with the skills, desire and enthusiasm for the future opportunity to serve as our Chair.
Previous experience as a Trustee is not necessary, as we are committed to full and appropriate induction, mentoring, training, and support for all new Trustees.
