We very much need and welcome new trustees / directors. 
We are seeking new volunteer directors to help us shape the future of our organization and keep up with the day to day running of the Forum.

Are you passionate about preserving our heritage?

The Argyll & Bute Museums & Heritage Forum (ABMHF) is a Scottish charity (SCIO-SC050209) dedicated to supporting people, places, and organizations involved in heritage across the Argyll and Bute area.

We started out to help small, independent museums achieve accreditation, but over time, our focus has expanded to support the entire heritage sector. This includes volunteers, community groups, businesses, and everyone interested in our region’s history.

From ancient times to the present day, we’re here to celebrate the people, places, islands, and everything that makes our heritage unique.


We are seeking new volunteer directors to help us shape the future of our organization. 
Your skills and enthusiasm would be invaluable as we continue to support and promote the rich heritage of Argyll & Bute.

Why join us?

  • Make a difference: Help us develop exciting new projects and initiatives.
  • Gain valuable experience: Develop your leadership and governance skills.
  • Meet like-minded people: Connect with other heritage enthusiasts.
  • Flexible commitment: Our meetings are primarily online, so location is not a barrier.

We are currently seeking:

  • Volunteer Directors: To help guide the Forum’s strategic direction.
  • We can access funding but we do not have the capacity to run events and activities.
  • We would like to host a hybrid conference
  • We would like to host monthly online Heritage cafes for members to come together informally, sometimes over a topic of interest, sometimes simply to share our news, concerns, and allow the conversation to develop with the wide range of expertise we have in the membership
  • We would like to host more training events as we have in the past - what sort of training depends on our membership, but it has been popular in the past.


Together we are stronger
