We The Curious

We’re on the search for a new Chair of Board of Trustees. You’ll be helping us to realise our vision as an educational charity – to create a place where everyone is included, curious and inspired by science. As we get back on our feet after reopening, we’re looking forward to a period of stability – we’re looking for someone who understands how good governance can support our recovery. We’re looking for someone who shares our values, is motivated and has a positively questioning mind to challenge and guide us – and you’ll be an excellent communicator who can ensure that the voices of our people (our trustees, team, volunteers and visitors) are represented. Applications close 17 October, so do take a look if this sounds like you – or please share with your networks to help us reach more people. https://lnkd.in/d-6PPmz 📷: Lisa Whiting

This update talks about the current protests and riots taking place in Bristol, and across the UK at the moment – the safety of our staff, volunteers and visitors is our absolute priority. We’re aware more planned activity taking place Weds 7 Aug from 8pm in BS2, with activity likely to build during the day. We’re supporting our staff and volunteers to ensure that they are and feel safe. If you’re planning on visiting, please know that our experience remains – we’ll be here for whatever you need: whether it’s a space for contemplation, to come together with family and friends, or step away from the challenges of the moment. But if you’d rather move your ticket and visit us at another time, that’s fine too – just get in touch and we’ll move your booking – drop us a line on [email protected] or give us a call on 0117 915 1000 (9-5). We The Curious is a place for everyone. We are an anti-racist organisation, we stand against all forms of hate towards any community and stand in solidarity with those who have been affected. We’re working with our community partners to support them at this time.
