This Trustee and Treasurer role is ideal for someone who enjoys using their financial expertise to guide good decisions and strengthen how an organisation operates. As Chair of the Resources Sub‑Committee, you’ll help shape financial planning and ensure the Board has clear, reliable information when it matters. You’ll review quarterly management accounts, lead the annual budgeting process, and oversee key areas such as insurance renewals and payroll. Your contribution gives the board confidence and clarity and helps the organisation plan responsibly for the future.

You’ll also play a valuable part in wider operational areas. The role includes liaising with auditors, supporting property‑related decisions, offering ideas around investment management and involvement in ad‑hoc projects. It suits someone who enjoys variety, likes practical problem‑solving, and wants to be a steady, trusted voice in governance. If you’re looking for a role where your professional skills genuinely make a difference — and where your judgement will be valued — this is a meaningful and rewarding opportunity.
