We’re looking for someone to join our Board of Trustees as our Treasurer—a key role that helps us stay financially healthy and strong.

The Treasurer is a trustee with a special focus on money. You don’t need to be an accountant, but you should be comfortable with numbers and happy to help us manage our finances.

Practical Considerations

• We require at least 6 meetings a year in person if possible
• Availability for other meet ups for financial queries, budgeting and funding plans
• Meetings are held at Hangleton Community Centre
• There is free parking and bus routes.

•  Have experience with accounting basics tracking income, expenses and balances
• Budgeting and monitoring spending
• Cash flow management to ensure bills and activities can be funded
• Understanding restricted funds for grants
• Handling community funds responsibly
