What difference will you make?

Your work will ensure our finances are accurate, compliant, and well managed, giving trustees confidence to focus on delivering creative projects and community programs. By maintaining accounts, VAT returns, and budgets, you’ll have a lasting impact and help shape the charity’s continued growth and success.

What will you be doing?

If you\'re looking for a volunteering role where you can make a real difference but with only a little work then this is the role for you! You would be responsible for keeping the books and making timely VAT submissions. Typically this would be a few hours a month, although during busy periods this can increase a little and during quiet periods it can reduce a little.
