Are you passionate about making a difference in the lives of people affected by breast cancer? We're looking for a dedicated Volunteer Treasurer to join our charity's committee.
What you'll do
:
• Oversee the financial affairs of the organisation and ensure they are legal, constitutional and within accepted accounting practice.
• Ensure proper records are kept and that effective financial procedures are in place.
• Monitor and report on the financial health of the organisation.
• Oversee the production of necessary financial reports/returns, accounts and audits.
• Undertake bookkeeping duties and/or oversee any finance volunteers ensuring posting and bookkeeping is kept up to date.
• Maintain the petty cash system and regularly process petty cash claims.

• Be part of a supportive, passionate team working towards a cause that matters.
If you'd like to use your skills to help us grow and continue our vital work, we'd love to hear from you.
