The John Rae Society (JRS) is looking for new Trustees to help lead our exciting Hall of Clestrain
development projects.

Our mission is to educate people about the pioneering Arctic explorer Dr John Rae’s remarkable
life and achievements, and to celebrate Orkney’s rich heritage. We aim to transform his
childhood home into a world-renowned visitor attraction, sharing John Rae’s remarkable place
in the history of Orkney and Artic exploration.

The need: We currently have 6 Trustees and are seeking up to 6 more. We want passionate
individuals dedicated to public education and heritage preservation, proactive and engaged in
Board discussions. The commitment is up to 1 day per month, including Board meetings and an
annual strategy awayday in Orkney.
