About Disability Peterborough

Disability Peterborough, legally registered as DIAL Peterborough, is a user-led charity dedicated to supporting physically disabled individuals and their families in Peterborough and the surrounding areas.

What will you be doing?

As a Board member of Disability Peterborough, you will serve as both a Director of the Company and a Trustee of the Charity. As Treasurer, you’ll play a key role in helping us manage our finances responsibly and sustainably, ensuring we can keep delivering vital services to physically disabled people in Peterborough. Your expertise will help us make informed decisions, plan confidently for the future, and safeguard the resources that make our work possible.

We have a contract with a local accountancy firm who use Xero software to prepare monthly management reports and the annual return. The accountancy firm also manage the wage runs each month. The Treasurer’s input is therefore primarily at a governance and advisory level rather than day-to-day financial administration.

The estimated time commitment is approximately 4 hours per month.This includes attending Board meetings, reviewing documents, and carrying out occasional follow-up tasks.

We are open to remote candidatesfor the Treasurer position, recognizing that much of the work can be done behind the scenes.

• Strong teamwork skills with an understanding of collective decision-making and responsibilities
• Excellent organizational skills; able to work remotely using own initiative and as part of a wider team
• Sound, independent judgment and creativity, with willingness to make tough or unpopular recommendations
• Understanding or willingness to learn legal duties and responsibilities of the treasurer and trustee roles
• Previous finance experience or a good understanding of financial management, preferably in the charitable sector
• Willingness to provide occasional advice and support to staff and volunteers via email, Zoom, or phone

No Prior Experience Required:Whether you have prior board experience or not, we welcome all applicants. What matters most is your passion, commitment, and willingness to contribute.

What difference will you make?

As a trustee, you can help us continue delivering essential services that improve independence, well-being, and access to rights for thousands of physically disabled people every year. Your input will help us:

• Develop and sustain life-changing programs like our Handyperson Service, Wellbeing Calls, and Shopmobility
• Advocate for policy change and champion the rights of disabled individuals locally and nationally
• Ensure that our services remain relevant, inclusive, and informed by those who use them.
