Whithorn

The Trustees include individuals from the local community who have skills and interests relevant to the charity, which include heritage, business and education. At the Whithorn Trust, our people are at the heart of everything we do. We know that great museums are built not only on collections and exhibitions, but on the dedication, creativity, and wellbeing of the staff who bring them to life. We recognise that trade unions play a vital role in supporting staff, amplifying voices, and helping create fair and positive workplaces. We welcome union membership among our employees and value unions as partners in making our museum the best place it can be to work. Every staff member has the right to join and participate in a trade union. Union representatives are respected and supported in carrying out their role. We consult openly with unions on matters that affect our team. We see unions as allies in ensuring fairness, safety, and opportunity for all. By working together, we can make sure that the Whithorn Trust is not only a place where history and culture are celebrated — but also a workplace where people feel valued, heard, and respected. The Whithorn Trust is committed to openness, accountability, and high standards in all its work.
