We are looking for our next Regional Finance Support/Treasurer to join the RDA North West Region’s committee. Are you:
- Someone with excellent financial skills;
- Interested in volunteering for a National Charity that provides opportunities for therapy, achievement and enjoyment for disabled participants through horses;
- Able to give around 2-3 hours a month; and
- Ideally based in the North West (Cheshire/Merseyside/Lancashire/Greater Manchester)?
If you answer yes to the above, this may be the voluntary role for you.
RDA is a National Charity which operates with a vast network of volunteers (as well as staff at National Office) to give direction and support to RDA Groups throughout the UK who provide opportunities for therapy, achievement and enjoyment for disabled participants through horses.Over 39,000 participants are supported a year.In addition to horse riding, and carriage driving, the charity offers other activities such as “Tea with a Pony” for those affected by dementia.There are 21 RDA groups in the North West Region, which are each independent charities federated to RDA.
Each Region has a Regional Committee formed of regional and county volunteers. Regional Committees help support the Groups with their RDA activities; promote the work of the RDA within their Region and play a vital role in organising the Regional Show and the Regional Conference.The Region funds its work from fundraising and donations.
One key role within the Regional Committee is the Regional Treasurer.The role, in the North West. is currently undertaken by a Cheshire based accountant who is looking to step down after nearly 10 years.
- The role takes around 2-3 hours a month and is not very onerous.
- Quarterly reports and budgets, for National Office, are prepared in conjunction with our Regional Chair (Sheila Saner).A finance report is also circulated to our Regional Committee before their quarterly (approx.) meetings. Most meetings are on Zoom or MS Teams, so the role can be done remotely.
- There is a quarterly zoom meeting with the Finance Director, at National Office, who updates Regional Treasurers.The meeting lasts around an hour.
- You will be involved in any finance discussions with the Regional Committee, including any grants to be made to Groups from the Region’s funds.
- You will oversee investments held by the Region.
- The Finance Support/Treasurer pays any expenses to Regional Officers through Bankline (our Regional Chair then authorises them).There are only 10 Regional Officers.
We are lucky to have a wonderful group of supportive volunteers on the Regional Committee and there is normally someone who will step up to assist if someone else can’t make a meeting or are struggling with other commitments.
Our current Regional Treasurer is happy to provide a full handover to the incoming Treasurer and answer any questions about the role.
