Overseas Support Volunteer

Hospices of Hope is the only UK charity dedicated to the development of hospice care services throughout South and East Europe. We are dedicated to improving the lives of terminally ill patients in Romania and surrounding countries by supporting local hospice partners. We believe that everyone deserves the best possible care at the end of their life. However, in developing countries like Romania, many patients still die in pain without being offered any physical, spiritual, or emotional comfort.

We are looking for some enthusiastic volunteers with a variety of skills and interests to join us on our Summer Trips to Romania in 2026, which provide a much-needed break for children. There are two different groups of children that enjoy the trips. Some are affected by rare or life-limiting illnesses, others have experienced trauma through the death of a close relative. The other group of children who attend are relatives of patients in our care.

The children who benefit from our trips are often completely neglected by health care and social service systems. Our Summer Trips are an opportunity for them to relax, have fun, share stories, and find comfort in each other.

The trip includes airfares from London, transfers to and from the airport in Romania, your disclosure and barring service check, training, and accommodation. If you opt for the first trip, only breakfast and lunch are provided on the days you are at the hospice. You will need to pay for evening and weekend meals. If you opt for the second trip, whilst at the camp, all meals are provided. Again, you will need to pay for weekend meals.

The hours you attend will differ depending on which trip you attend; however, your role as a volunteer will involve you engaging with the children doing enjoyable activities, crafts, games, and much more. It is a chance for them to enjoy being children and just have some fun.

We are seeking an Honorary Treasurer to join the Board of Trustees. This voluntary role is ideal for someone with finance or accounting experience who would like to help Photofusion continue its mission to support and celebrate photography and photographers.

Job Description
As Honorary Treasurer, you will play a crucial role in shaping the financial direction and long-term resilience of Photofusion, ensuring we can continue supporting emerging photographers, widening access to the visual arts, and championing diverse creative communities. Your financial expertise will help us maintain high-quality facilities, education programmes, and opportunities for people who may otherwise face barriers to creative participation.

Photofusion is at a significant moment in its development. Nearly two years into our new building, we are preparing to make important decisions about growth and sustainability in an increasingly challenging arts funding landscape. Like many arts and education charities, we must navigate rising costs, limited resources, and the need to protect the stability of our core services. Balancing ambition with sustainability will be central to the Board's work, and the Treasurer will play a key part in guiding this.

We are seeking someone with strong professional experience in finance and accounting, ideally with knowledge of charity finance and reporting. Experience supporting organisations through change and development would be especially valuable as we refine systems, strengthen controls, and ensure our resources are used effectively. Insight in change management or strategic financial planning would be particularly helpful.

Our Board works closely with our senior team and is collaborative, supportive, and grounded in Photofusion's values of creativity, equity, and community. As Treasurer, you will lead on financial governance, ensure the Board receives clear and timely financial information, and chair a Finance & General Purposes Sub-Committee. Trustees also have opportunities to contribute more widely across fundraising, partnerships, organisational resilience, and advocacy.

If you believe in accessible, inclusive creativity and want to help shape Photofusion's future, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Job Requirements
Applicants should bring strong professional experience in finance or accounting, ideally with knowledge of charity finance, reporting, and governance. They should be confident analysing financial information, advising non-financial colleagues, and supporting strategic decision-making. We are looking for someone who is collaborative, clear-communicating, and aligned with Photofusion's values of creativity, equity, and community, with the commitment to help guide the organisation's future resilience.

The time commitment for the position is approximately 1 meeting per month (no more than 1hr in length) and quarterly board meetings (1 every 3 months).

Job Responsibilities
The Honorary Treasurer will play a vital role in strengthening Photofusion's financial foundations at a pivotal time for the organisation. Their strategic oversight will help ensure we remain sustainable, resilient, and able to deliver high-quality programmes, facilities, and opportunities for emerging and underrepresented photographers.

With the arts funding landscape becoming increasingly challenging, the Treasurer's expertise will be essential in balancing ambition with financial stability.

By refining financial processes, improving internal controls, and ensuring the Board receives clear, accurate, and timely financial information, the Treasurer will enable strong governance and informed decision-making at every level.
