Roundhouse Theatre: What Can Young Trustees Add To Your Organisation?
Show Notes

We spoke to Tor at Roundhouse about their commitment to young trusteeship. Not only do Roundhouse have young trustees, but they've created an guide to help other organisations do the same.

Tor chatted to us about why young people were so important to their organisation, what the benefits have been from working inclusively and her tips for doing the same.

"At the Roundhouse, we believe that listening to young people is only the starting point. Then you need to take them seriously. This applies right up to the top of the organisation. Put simply, your board of trustees should be representative of the people you serve, and for us, that’s young people.

We believe that any cultural organisation that wishes to shake things up, foster progressive attitudes and remain relevant must include young people in its decision making progress."
