As a community-led organisation, we’re particularly interested in applications from Rio Cinema members and those with strong connections to the borough of Hackney.

Do you have a direct Latin American background and financial expertise you want to put to meaningful use?
This is a great opportunity to contribute to the financial management and sustainability of a registered charity that has supported Latin American and other migrant communities through information, advice and guidance for vulnerable individuals, children and young people's activities and projects, adult education opportunities, and community-led cultural projects since 1983.
About us
LAH is a community-led charity driven by and for Latin Americans in the UK. For decades, we have been supporting Latin American and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants, championing their rights, wellbeing, and inclusion. We are a small, close-knit team with big ambitions, and everything we do is rooted in the lived experiences of the communities we serve. Our work takes place across London and at our community centre in Kilburn, North West London.
About the role
This is a voluntary, non-executive governance role with a time commitment of just 2 to 3 hours per month. As Finance Trustee, you will Chair our Finance and Fundraising Sub-Committee, providing board-level oversight of LAH's financial health: reviewing management accounts, scrutinising budgets and forecasts, ensuring our financial controls are robust, and supporting the wider Board of Trustees at Latin American House to understand financial risk and sustainability.
You will work closely with LAH Director and finance team, contributing to the approval of annual accounts and budgets, and ensuring we meet our Charity Commission and Companies House obligations.
This is strategic oversight, not day-to-day operations - the hands-on finance work stays with our staff.
If you have ever wanted your professional skills to serve your community, this is how.
What we are looking for
You will have a direct Latin American background, this is a requirement of LAH's governing documents, alongside experience in finance, accounting, budgeting, or financial management. You will be able to translate financial concepts clearly for non-finance trustees, bring sound judgement and analytical thinking, and be comfortable in an organisation where systems are still growing and developing.
You do not need prior trustee or charity experience. What matters is integrity, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine commitment to the communities LAH serves.
What we offer
Latin American House is a registered charity (1127253) and registered company (06720498). Trustees serve in a voluntary capacity.
We aim to contribute to the integration, social inclusion and wellbeing of Latin American and other Spanish and Portuguese-speaking migrants in the UK

A women led grassroots charity in southern India is seeking a volunteer accountant to strengthen accounting systems, reporting, budgeting and finance team confidence.
The organisation works with women, children and marginalised communities through programmes focused on empowerment, health advocacy, childcare, education and residential care for children affected by HIV/AIDS.

· Challenge and refine our financial model, forecasting, and cashflow planning (12–36 months).
· Help shape P&L, balance sheet and cash visibility that operators can use day-to-day.
· Advise on site-level unit economics, menu margin mix, labour model, and cost control.
· Strengthen budgeting, KPI dashboards, and scenario modelling for growth (e.g., second site in Brighton).
· Support funding strategy: grants, philanthropy, corporate partnerships, social investment.
· Create a Finance & Risk Committee (chair if appropriate).
· Ensure robust governance, internal controls, and compliance with charity and company law.
· Act as a critical friend—asking the right questions, mentoring our leadership and on site General Manager and team, and championing our mission.
