Regional Trustee Support
You will find on this page, information on what we (SHARE) offer for Trustees, and the training that is relevant to those in a trustee position. Your county museum development officer will also provide advice and guidance and would be very pleased to hear from you in the first instance with any queries. This page includes links to all our projects and grants that may be of use to your museum.
County Help
Your first port of call is your County Museum Development Officer:
The Regional SHARE team works closely with the County Museum Development Officers to support Trustees within our museums.
Please contact them individually to find out how you can make the most of the advice, help and support they can offer. Some of them offer county meet-ups for trustees, county wide meetings and also some offer county specific training suitable for trustees. Contact details for your county Museum Development Officer can be found in Meet the Team.
