HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND CHANGE MEN & BOYS’ LIVES IN LONDON

We’re ideally seeking volunteers from London, but we welcome passionate volunteers from across England who can join meetings virtually and help us build strong, safe and transparent financial foundations.

We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health, stronger resilience and long‑term personal growth.

We’re creating a stigma‑free movement — a space where men and boys can learn real, practical, non‑clinical skills that help them build better habits, better mindsets and better lives. From 1:1 Life Coaching, to 6‑ and 12‑week self‑improvement programmes, to school workshops for teenage boys, we’re building something powerful.

And right now, we’re getting ready to launch — and we need a Volunteer Treasurer to help us build the financial systems, controls and confidence that will underpin everything we do.

YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE

Joining MINDSET as our Treasurer at this early stage means you’re not stepping into a traditional finance role — you’re becoming part of the founding leadership of a charity with ambition, energy and purpose.

Your work will directly influence:

• how quickly we can register as a charity;

• how strong, safe and transparent our financial systems become;

• how confidently we can deliver programmes;

• how sustainable our long‑term future is.

You’ll be the financial heartbeat of a charity that will change lives across London.

THE ROLE: TREASURER (VOLUNTEER)

3. The calm, confident voice of good judgement.

As our Treasurer, you’ll oversee MINDSET’s financial health and help us build strong, transparent systems from day one. You’ll guide the Board on financial decision‑making, ensure compliance with UK charity regulations, and help us grow responsibly and sustainably.

This role is ideal for someone with UK accounting or finance experience who wants to use their skills to make a meaningful difference.

WHAT YOU’LL HELP US BUILD

1. Financial Oversight

• Maintaining accurate financial records and accounts.

• Supporting the development of budgets, forecasts and financial plans.

• Advising the Board on financial strategy, sustainability and risk.

• Overseeing banking, payments, donations and financial controls.

2. Compliance & Governance

• Supporting charity registration and financial documentation.

• Helping build systems that meet best practice standards.

• Preparing clear, simple financial reports for Trustee meetings.

3. Start‑Up Leadership

• Helping design financial systems suitable for a new charity.

• Bringing clarity, confidence and structure to our early operations.

• Supporting the Leadership Team with financial insight.

• Helping build the foundations that future teams will rely on.

WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE

We’re especially interested in people who:

• have UK accounting or finance experience;

• enjoy building systems, structure and clarity;

• bring calm, steady judgement to a fast‑moving start‑up;

• understand financial controls, risk and compliance;

• want to help build a charity that will make a real difference;

• care deeply about men’s wellbeing, resilience and personal growth.

An unpaid carer is anyone who provides support to a family member, friend or neighbour due to a variety of reasons which could include illness, disability, mental health needs, addiction, or age‑related frailty. Many people do not recognise themselves as carers yet they take on vital responsibilities that can have a profound impact on their wellbeing, finances and daily life.

This is a pivotal leadership role at a time when carers’ needs are growing, and the charity is strengthening its strategic direction.

We are particularly seeking a Chair who can:

• Embed modern, effective governance approaches
• Support the Board to focus on strategic leadership rather than operational detail
• Empower staff and volunteers to deliver high‑quality, carer‑led services
• Build strong partnerships with local authorities, health bodies, funders and community organisations
• Represent Swansea Carers Centre with confidence and credibility

• Promote high standards of governance and regulatory compliance
• Provide strategic leadership and support effective decision‑making
• Build a strong, supportive working relationship with the CEO
• Ensure trustees receive timely, relevant information
• Champion carers’ interests and represent the charity externally
• Support succession planning and Board development
• Attend approximately 12 Board meetings per year, plus occasional sub‑committees and events

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to make a meaningful, lasting impact on the lives of carers across Swansea. You’ll be joining a passionate team, a committed Board, and an organisation with a clear mission, strong values and a desire to evolve its governance and strategic leadership.
