Commission Opportunity

Culture Durham is an independent, collective voice working on behalf of the culture sector across County Durham. In 2024 we carried out a governance review of the partnership which will now form a new company limited by guarantee (CLG). It will be a membership-based organisation designed to provide transparent, diverse, and representative governance for the county’s cultural ecosystem.

We are looking for a consultant to develop a sustainable business model that outlines how the organisation will operate, raise and manage income, build its membership, and communicate its independent role within County Durham’s cultural landscape.

Details of the commission can be found in this brief Culture Durham Business Model Brief.

It includes the purpose of the commission, the scope of work, expected deliverables and a timeline and budget.

Hannah Fox, Director of The Bowes Museum and Culture Durham Advisory Group member, is leading on the appointment of a suitable consultant.

All submissions should be sent to simone.wain@thebowesmuseum.org.uk by 12 noon on Thursday 18th December.
