The Pirate Castle is looking for a voluntary Treasurer Trustee to join our friendly and committed Trustee Board. We are an iconic Camden-based community boating charity, established in 1966; we are proud to say that 2026 is our 60th anniversary.
Our well-known castle building sits on the banks of the Regent's Canal in the heart of Camden Town. We rent out our community space and offer a range of watersports for children and adults of all ages and abilities. Kayaking and canal boating are core to our work and we tackle disadvantage and support our community by offering subsidised sport and recreation, including through the school holidays. If you ever walk along the canal tow path in Camden you can't help but notice us on the water!
The ideal candidate will have a strong background in financial analysis or accounting, ideally with a professional accountancy qualification.The role involves working with our contracted Bookkeeper and Development Manager to monitor and oversee the charity's finances month-to-month and to report to trustees at Board meetings. It also involves overseeing the preparation of the annual accounts, together with our external accounts inspector (our annual income level is below the audit threshold).
The charity is in a sound financial position. As the Treasurer you will also be involved in and have an important voice in the charity's strategic management and governance. We are a friendly Trustee Board and staff team, looking for a Treasurer with solid financial analysis and an ability to communicate with others from all walks of life. You can expect about 4-5 hours' work per month on average. The Board meets 10 times each year, usually on a Monday evening. Most of our meetings are held remotely though two meetings each year are held in person in our Camden Castle building.
Please note this is a voluntary (unpaid) position. As a Trustee you would be a director of our company limited by guarantee. We maintain directors and officers insurance for our Board members.
