The Gannochy Trust is a registered charity based in Perth, Scotland. It was founded in 1937 by the Scottish businessman and philanthropist Arthur Kinmond Bell, known as A.K. Bell.
The Board of Trustees is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the Trust, developing the organisation’s goals in accordance with the Trust Deed. The role is a very interesting and rewarding one; as well as annual grant awards of circa £5m made throughout Scotland, the Trust also manages a beautiful housing estate in Perth of 282 homes with affordable rents, a woodland park, and a wider agricultural estate totalling nearly 700 acres.
Trustees are appointed, first and foremost, for their interest, passion and concern for the primary vision of the Trust as well as the overall contribution they can make with their skills and knowledge. We encourage applications from everyone, and particularly welcome applications from areas of current under-representation on our Board including people from minority ethnic backgrounds, disabled people and people under the age of fifty. Due to the wide variety of activities undertaken by the Trust, we have identified a range of professional skills that are required on the Board, and on this occasion are seeking applicants with a background in accounting, investment management or law.
