Across the UK, our 65 local branches work with disabled people to help them live the lives they choose. Our network of skilled volunteers respond to thousands of requests each year to design and make customised equipment free of charge.
As our local branch Finance/Treasurer volunteer, you’ll make sure your branch gets the most for its money.
You’ll maintain income and expenditure records to document and report on branch finances. You’ll manage their accounts and make financial information easy to understand.
What the role involves
This is a varied role that each branch tends to do a bit differently, but it will involve:
• Accurately maintaining income and expenditure records to document and report on branch finances
• Offering objectivity around the spending of money and ensuring money is spent in a cost-effective manner
• Approving income and expenditure with the other branch bank account signatories
• Ensuring that our financial requirements and policies relating to group finances are followed
We can support you to develop the skills you need for this role, and there’s an induction that covers all the areas above. You’ll also have chance to discuss your role and any additional needs with us.
What you’ll need for this role
• Confident using Microsoft Office, the internet and email
• Experience in bookkeeping, budgeting, and planning income and expenditure
• Able to apply disability, equality, and inclusion practices
• Able to keep people’s personal data safe
• A commitment to our aims and values
You’ll also need to complete the induction checklist and some online training.
Where will I volunteer?
The Finance Volunteer role is largely home based, but it varies from branch to branch – some branches hold in-person meetings once a month or so, and their Finance Volunteers tend to be based in the area the branch covers.
If it works better for you, however, there’s a possibility this role could be done remotely.
Your local branch will be able to provide more information.
Time commitment
This also varies, but it’s generally around 1-2 hours a week.
Why volunteer
When you volunteer with us, you join a community of committed people with a passion for helping to improve the lives of others. We’re a volunteer led organisation and we couldn’t do what we do without your hard work, skills and commitment.
N.B. We’ll reimburse any out-of-pocket expenses during your time
REMAP exists to improve the quality of life for people who experience short or long-term disability through infirmity, illness or ageing.

Our retail stores are the face of our charity on the high-street and in local communities. We have loads of amazing stock donated to us every week, and this all needs to be sorted, tagged and put on the shop-floor for sale!
Making sure our shops look fantastic is another task you can get involved with. You may also be required to help out on the till too, but we will show you how that works during your time volunteering with us. We value the contribution of everyone who supports Barnardo’s.
You will be a friendly face of Barnardo’s by volunteering in one of our shops. It would be great if you could volunteer one shift a week (or even more if you want) but we’re always happy to be flexible to work around your availability.
