Branches are run entirely by volunteers with advice and support from the national charity.
The Branch Treasurer role is vital to the running of the branch as they look after all the finances. Without these roles, we would not have as many branches as we do.
What you will be doing
- Monitoring the bank account with the Branch Chair
- Complying with all financial procedures.
- Maintaining accurate records of money coming in (income) and money going out (expenditure) for the branch. A form (B1) with this information has to be sent to the Branch Finance and Admin Officer once a month with copies of supporting documentation.
- Ensuring all expenditure is properly authorised. This means checking who the money is being paid to, why it is being paid, and that the Branch Chair is aware of it.
- Attending Branch meetings
When and where
- Flexibility on days and the amount of time committed to the role.
- The majority of branch treasurers give around an hour a week but it depends how active the branch is.
- Home based (plus travel to branch committee meetings)
