The Museum of Somerset Coalfield Life in Radstock is seeking new Trustees.

We are looking for people able to contribute four to six hours of their time each week and become actively involved in the running of this award-winning centre for the preservation and display of the Somerset coalfield’s history.

Whilst no experience of being a Trustee is necessary, previous business and other relevant experience will be useful. You will become part of an established team comprising current Trustees, volunteers and museum staff.

The museum’s Trustees are all volunteers who give their time to help ensure the smooth running of this important local resource.

One of the Trustee roles we need to fill is that of Company Secretary. The current Secretary is stepping down in November 2025. He will be available to work with his replacement throughout the year with a view to handing over responsibility at the 2025 AGM.

Another role is that of Chair. The current Chair is stepping down next March. Whilst this role may be taken by an existing Trustee we would like to hear from anyone interested in becoming a Trustee who has held a similar role themself.

If you have an interest in our local heritage and would like to help take it forward into the future we would love to hear from you.

Please email Simon Carter, Chair of Trustees at “chairman@radstockmuseum.co.uk” for more information.
