The Foundation intends to create a fabulous European-style ‘poetry house’ in Kings Cross and has also set itself the wider objective of promoting Anglo-French cultural exchange, including live events, artists’ residencies and educational programmes aimed at giving opportunities to young people in both France and the UK Possible projects whilst on the board:
· creating a charitable bond - the potential for leveraging the beneficial interest in No 8 Royal College Street into a Bond capable of perfecting the legacy gift of the house on the death of the current owner. If willing the successful student could work on this with Geoff Burnand at Social Investment Business
· financial management in EU context - the creation of detailed long term financial projections in a form compatible with EU funding requirements and recommendations for the staff and infrastructure required to deliver on work worth over Euros 4 Million between 2016-2020 in accordance with the strict requirements of such grants
Current board members include Anders Jacobsen, a private equity fund manager, and Marianne Magnin, a former head of finance at Shell UK If you are interested in this programme, you will need to email your most up to date CV and a brief cover letter on why you wish to be considered (and which organisation you wish to be considered for) to Steve Cousins (scousins@london.edu) by 12pm on Friday 7 November.
