The Strathmartine Trust was founded in 1999 with the aim of supporting the study, research and education of Scottish history. Based in St Andrews, the Trust offers self-catering accommodation for visiting scholars, and has a library and study space for researchers. The Trust also offers awards and grants, and maintains a community profile, hosting seminars and other events, supporting local and national historians to share their research and ideas. Trustees are expected to attend, virtually or in person, a minimum of four Trustee Meetings each year; occasionally, additional meetings are organised to discuss grant applications or other significant matters. In addition to the time taken to prepare for and attend meetings, Trustees will need to allocate time to reading and evaluating applications during the annual grant award process. It is expected that Trustees will also remain engaged and interested in the day-to-day operation of the Strathmartine Centre and Press.

Trustee

Do you have a passion for our local community and a desire to share your skills with us? Do you live within our area of benefit? Would you like to help us to sustain this valuable community resource? Since taking ownership of "The Heart" , the previous Victoria primary school, in 2022, we have made leaps and bounds in transforming our vision for the building into reality. We are now recruiting for some new trustees to help our small dedicated team of staff and volunteers continue this work. Our vision is to turn The Heart into a sustainable place for inspiration, exploration and enjoyment where the aim is to enrich lives through active, inter-generational learning and discovery. https://heartofnewhaven.co.uk/
