We are a small, friendly charity, run by four volunteer trustees and loads of volunteer fundraisers. We are a dynamic charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) based in Liverpool, dedicated to fundraising initiatives that create meaningful impact both locally and for baby and children’s hospitals in Sana’a, Yemen. Rooted in solidarity values, our work often aligns with principles of Islamic giving, including zakat, but is open to all who wish to give and support. On occasion, we co-fundraise with charities for Palestine.
We are seeking a volunteer treasurer to help us with financial management and reporting. Our turnover is less than £50,000 per year and we are therefore able to produce light touch accounts for the Charity Commission.

The trustees meet less than once a month and we anticipate a small time committment for this role.
We are particularly keen to see applications from people who have a specific interest in health and wellbeing for people living in war affected states, especially Yemen; or who have a connection with Liverpool. We're a real passionate 'family' and look forward to welcoming a new member who shares our goals.

- Help develop and review financial policies and procedures.
- Attend trustee meetings (typically quarterly) and provide financial updates.
- Brainstorm and share experience of novel and sustainable fundraising ideas.
Skills & Experience
Essential:
- Experience with bookkeeping, accounting, or finance (qualified accountant or qualified by experience).
- Familiarity with charity finance and reporting requirements (especially for small charities/CIOs).
- Strong attention to detail and ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues.
- Understanding of Islamic giving, including zakat, and ability to advise appropriately.

Key tasks:
Well verse with Commission’s Directions and guidance as independent Examiner
To provide an independent scrutiny of the accounts and, in this way, help maintain public trust and confidence in charities.
Ensure; No evidence was found of a lack of accounting records; Nor of the accounts failing to reflect those records; Nor of the accounts failing to comply with the relevant legislation
Liaising with the trustees to ensure the accounting records are available
Agreeing responsibilities with the trustees, for example, who will prepare the accounts and file them with the Commission
Agreeing a timetable for the examination with the trustees
Ensuring the examination takes place at a time when trustees and key staff are available to answer any questions that may arise
Key results/objectives:
At the conclusion of the independent examination the examiner makes a report to the charity trustees. Charity law requires the examiner’s report to comment on three specific things:
the accounting records kept, whether the accounts agree with those records, and whether the format of the accounts is correct.
