Current Opportunities

Artlift and Yes to Life are looking for a freelance Sub-Editor to join Flourish Magazine, a quarterly print magazine by and for the cancer community. With two print issues published, we are now looking to expand our editorial team for Issue 3, which will be on the theme of Movement.

The magazine features creative responses to cancer (artwork, poetry, essays, creative writing and more) submitted to the magazine via our open calls, alongside feature articles, resources and more, and is distributed for free online and in print across the South West. You can read our previous issues here.

About our Board of Trustees
The Board of Trustees ensures that we operate within the law and meet our charitable objectives. In consultation with our Executive Director, Trustees set strategic priorities, monitor the charity’s performance, and make sure we are working to our vision, mission, and values in everything we do.

The Board currently has five Trustees who bring cross-sector work experience and shared experience with our target beneficiaries. We consistently strive to diversify our Board to include representatives of minority communities. We are also specifically seeking Trustees to fulfil the roles of Treasurer and Chair.

The position is unpaid, though reasonable expenses (such as travel to meetings) can be reimbursed by mutual agreement. A full induction is offered to new Trustees, including visits to Arts on Prescription sessions.
