Coldharbour Mill at Uffculme is seeking a new chairman of trustees, who will play a leading role in guiding the attraction’s future.

The mill was badly hit by the Covid-19 pandemic, after meeting its strategic objectives in recent years, but chief executive Martin Halse and volunteers secured more than £300,000 of funding through to March this year.

More applications are in progress but the pandemic has led to a review of strategic plans.

A spokesperson said: “The charity is this year embarking on its biggest ever consultation on the future of Coldharbour Mill to ensure its resilience and relevance to stakeholders old and new.

“The chairman will be the leading voice of our board whose responsibility it is to secure a bright future for this nationally significant historic site.

“The chairman will lead the board and the organisation externally at an exciting time in the 230-year history of the mill as we prepare for the next 200 years.”

The new chairman should have a good understanding of the heritage sector – for more details visit www.codlharbourmill.org.uk/chair-of-trustees
