Amenity trust and arts agency to share finance manager

SHETLAND Amenity Trust and Shetland Arts have announced plans to collaborate in financial management.

Shetland Arts is recruiting a finance manager who will also work with amenity trust’s current finance team – sharing expertise across the two cultural and heritage charities.

Both organisations receive core funding from Shetland Charitable Trust.

Shetland Arts chief executive Graeme Howell said: “We’re excited to be working with the Shetland Amenity Trust to support their financial team, this represents a next step for the two charities, which have been working together increasingly closely.”

Meanwhile amenity trust chief executive Hazel Sutherland said: “It has been a long-held ambition of mine to explore ways in which the trusts can work more closely together and share their skills for the benefit of Shetland.

“I am delighted to have an opportunity to share expertise with Shetland Arts on the finance function, where we can see so many benefits arising from a more collaborative approach”.
