Committee treasurer volunteer volunteer roles

Finance Trustee (Treasurer) – fueling ADHD Aware's mission to support adults living with ADHD

ADHD Aware, a Brighton-based national charity, empowers adults with ADHD, their partners, and families through peer support groups, courses, neurodiversity training, and online resources – all run hands-on by volunteers like you. As our Finance Trustee, you'll safeguard our growth by keeping accounts current, ensuring governance excellence, and driving financial strategy in a small, agile board with no full-time staff – perfect for those ready to commit real hours to make a tangible impact.​

Why This Role Matters

In this voluntary Treasurer position, you'll oversee financial reporting, budgeting, compliance with Charity Commission rules, and risk management using tools like QuickBooks, directly fueling our vital ADHD support services. Your oversight ensures every pound advances our objects: peer-led groups, neurodiversity training for employers, and accessible online help that transforms lives affected by ADHD. Hands-on involvement means you'll keep our accounts up-to-date, liaise with stakeholders, and provide board guidance – a pivotal role in our volunteer-driven sustainability.​

We Champion Neurodivergence

ADHD Aware celebrates neurodivergence: we prioritise clear, structured language, flexible remote meetings via Teams/Zoom (with occasional in-person meetings in Brighton), and we are happy to chat about any accessibility needs before you apply. Expect transparent processes, no jargon overload, and understanding for variable focus – submit your CV and covering note detailing finance experience (ACA/ACCA/CIMA ideal, charity finance experience highly desirable) by 9 January 2026. We're seeking collaborative hands-on contributors who are committed to our mission and values.​

Time and Support

• Trustees serve a 3-year term (which can be renewed) and attend our AGM and 6 board meetings a year 

• Hands-on: maintain timely accounts, cash flow, audits, and forecasts amid growth.

About the Degrees Initiative

The Degrees Initiative is a UK-based NGO that builds the capacity of developing countries to evaluate solar radiation modification (SRM), a controversial proposal for reducing some impacts of climate change by reflecting sunlight away from the Earth. Degrees is neutral on whether SRM should ever be used, but we believe that developing countries should be empowered to conduct their own research and to play a central role in SRM discussions. The initiative has been working in different forms for over a decade, and our work receives worldwide coverage and widespread acclaim. 

The charity was founded in 2021, now has around 20 staff members and is growing. We seek a volunteer trustee with significant financial experience including an accounting qualification to join an existing five-person board to help guide a growing initiative that is changing the field of SRM.
