Sound Sense :: the UK professional association for community musicians

2025 Board Elections

Sound Sense is led by its members, for its members. Nominations for our 2025 elections are now open, and we’re looking for people to join our Board of Directors and help shape our future.
We’d love to hear from you if you're passionate about community music and want to help set the policy and direction of Sound Sense, steer the activities of our small staff team and make an active contribution to our vibrant programme of events and advocacy. We’re committed to ensuring our Board reflects the exciting diversity of the UK’s community music sector and we actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ages, genders, abilities, musical genres and practices, and from across all parts of the UK.
The deadline for nominations is Monday 22 September. Find out more>
