Could you look after the finances for the local SSAFA service in your area? You don’t need a military background, just some basic I.T and finance skills. If so, this could be the role for you.
What is a Branch Treasurer?
There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas. These are divided into small local areas that we call divisions. Each branch has a treasurer overseeing the divisions that, in turn each have a treasurer of their own. This is a key role involving financial planning and financial administration.
Why do we need you?
We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan.
There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles and fundraisers.
One of the key ways we help people is by tapping into various sources of funding on their behalf. Monitoring and reconciling this flow of funding into and out of SSAFA accounts is important to ensure clients receive timely support and we are able to account for all charitable funds in our care.
When would you be needed and where would you be based?
As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but many volunteers are based at home. This flexible role involves using our on-line financial management system and on-line bank accounts and so can be done when and where suits you best. You will need to attend a number of branch committee meetings each year.
What would you be doing?
· Maintaining and reconciling local bank accounts and recording transactions
· Supporting divisions to manage their local finances.
· Making and recording all authorised payments
· Preparing year end accounts and financial statements including arranging an independent review
· Working with the branch secretary, advise on a local fundraising programme to cover branch running costs.
· Identify and manage the return of any surplus monies from grants as appropriate.
· Providing reports to the branch committee and to SSAFA’s Central Office
· Maintaining accurate records using our on-line finance management system
· Being a positive ambassador for SSAFA remembering that anyone you meet could be a potential client, volunteer, or fundraiser.
· Volunteering within the standards and values of SSAFA including observing our policies such as the Volunteering policy and data protection policy (these will be covered in your training and local induction.)
The remit of this role may change over the next 12-18 months depending on the outcome of a trial currently being undertaken.
What can you gain from this volunteering role?
· Gain experience of holding a responsible role in a well-respected charity
· Use your skills, knowledge, and life experience to benefit others.
· Support and friendship from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
· Experience, training and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews.
· Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
· Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!
What training and support would you receive?
· Role specific training to prepare you for your voluntary role – treasurers webinar (with some pre-course learning), and financial management system training.
· Mandatory on-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
· Support from the branch Chair and the Finance team based as our central office.
· Access to a range of e-learning courses
· Support from the Volunteer Support Manager and the Volunteer Support Team based at our central office.
· Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses
· Volunteers will be covered by SSAFAs Public Liability Insurance whilst carrying out the role.
What are we looking for?
· Friendly and approachable people with some experience of financial administration
· Good written and spoken English.
· Ability to be respectful and non-judgemental with volunteers, other agencies and SSAFA colleagues.
· Ability to send and receive emails – you will receive your own SSAFA email address.
· Willingness to use our on-line banking and on-line finance management system (this is covered in training)
· Reliable attitude: contact volunteers promptly, keep appointments etc.
· Ability to maintain confidentiality and keep information safely.
· Access to public transport or a car to gravel to meetings etc.
We welcome volunteers of all backgrounds, abilities, races, sexual orientations, socio-economic backgrounds, and of all faiths and none. SSAFA are committed to making reasonable adjustments to support volunteers with disabilities, so they have access to the same opportunities and experiences as volunteers who do not.

Iprovision is the benevolent fund of The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). Iprovision is currently looking for new volunteers to join its Board of Trustees.
You don’t need to be a member of the CIPR to become a Trustee of Iprovision, but you do need to be willing to donate your time – and your understanding of the challenges life can throw at us – to consider the plight of those less fortunate.
The role Iprovision plays in helping members in need is really important. For example, Iprovision provides the funding for the CIPR’s mental health hotline that gives members access to expert advice and online materials. CIPR members coping with stress, with job loss, family illnesses or other challenges can turn to Iprovision for expert advice, counselling and, in many cases, financial support. To mark CIPR’s 75th anniversary we also established an education fund to help people get into the PR profession. We plan to continue with this fund in future years.
As a registered charity, Iprovision is led by its small board of up to 12 volunteer Trustees who consider the applications from CIPR members for support. Based on advice from a professional Support worker – the Trustees make the final decision on the type and level of support to be provided. This might be a straight cash grant, or the Trustees might elect to pay for some training and coaching to help someone get back into employment.
Each applicant for support is presented to the Trustees anonymously, and decisions are taken purely on the facts presented, the situation being experienced, and the types of support that are available.
As a charity, Iprovision depends for its funding purely on the voluntary annual donations that some members pay on top of their CIPR subscriptions, and fundraising activity and events.
The Trustees have a vital role to play – driving awareness of the fund, arranging and supporting fundraising activity, and of course considering applications for support. The Trustees meet four times a year (mix of in person and hybrid meetings) and are responsible for ensuring that the charity manages its funds wisely.
Knowledge, experience and attributes
Charitable Trustees have a general obligation to:
- Act in the charity’s best interests
- Manage the charity’s resources responsibly
- Act with reasonable care and skill.
Trustees should understand the purpose and activities of the charity and ensure they are in line and complying with the governance documents (the Memorandum and Articles of Association).
We are particularly keen to hear from people with experience or knowledge of:
- Fundraising
- Governance and charity law
- Accountancy and financial planning
Support & Training
We will provide opportunities for you to learn new skills and grow your expertise as we develop our plans. We encourage a culture of learning amongst our trustees, encourage and support them to develop existing skills, which help you flourish as a trustee on our board.
Benefits
This is a volunteer role so no material rewards are offered. Benefits are non-material and include experience, the opportunity to contribute, to learn and become part of a dynamic community. You will gain lasting relationships, insight into a benevolent fund, experience of non-executive leadership and the rewards of contribution. We will reimburse out of pocket expenses, including travel to attend any Iprovision meetings.
Liability
Iprovision is a separate legal entity (it is incorporated) and this acts as a mitigation to any personal liability.
For more information: see the essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do. Charity Commission England & Wales.
Our terms of service
Trustees are elected to serve terms of three years with an expectation that they will serve no more than 2-3 terms of three years.
We encourage applications from all sections of society and locations and are keen to ensure continued diversity brings constructive challenge and adds to the governance and work, of the charity.
Iprovision was founded in 1965 and its charitable purpose is to provide support in cash or in kind for the prevention or relief of poverty.

YMCA is a global movement that empowers communities and young people to build a just, sustainable, equitable and inclusive world. One YMCA represents the movement in Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire, and is growing rapidly to help meet the increasing needs in our society. If you would like to make a difference to the children, young people and families who need it most, this could be the moment to bring your experience and drive to our ambitious Christian charity.
One YMCA enables people to develop their full potential in body, mind and spirit. Inspired by, and faithful to, our Christian values, we create supportive and energising communities that are open to all, where young people can truly belong, contribute and thrive.
We support vulnerable individuals and families to develop the skills and confidence they need to progress towards independence, through a wide range of services including supported accommodation for those experiencing or at risk of homelessness, Children’s and Family Centre services, early years education, youthwork, health and wellbeing, and specialist therapeutic support.
We are on an exciting and ambitious growth trajectory. In the last five years, we have trebled our income to £40m, and we’re now poised to step this up another gear. At the start of a new five-year strategy, we aim to grow beyond a £50m turnover, grow our staff team to above 800, and expand to support more than 200,000 people each year.
We are looking to recruit new trustees to support Board succession and bring additional skill sets and diverse perspectives. We’re welcoming, inclusive, and try to enjoy ourselves even while doing serious business. We have a good balance of skills and backgrounds on the Board, but we recognise the need to further increase the diversity of the Board and acknowledge that we don’t yet proportionally represent the ethnic diversity of the regions we serve.
Whilst we are interested in anyone with experience in the areas of work we deliver, we are particularly interested in receiving applications from those with experience in social housing, finance and/or audit and risk, and safeguarding.
YMCA has a rich Christian heritage stretching back more than 180 years and our Christian ethos remains at the core of everything we do. We ask that all Trustees should be comfortable with prayer and reflection as part of our meetings, working within a Christian ethos, and upholding our Values of Respect, Compassion and Growth.
One YMCA is working with Macaulay Search on this appointment process. For further details, including contact details and how to apply, please download our Appointment Details Pack (see link below).
One YMCA's mission is to create supportive and energizing communities where young people can belong, contribute, and thrive.

We are partnering with the Social Interest Group (‘SIG’) to appoint a new Treasurer to join their board. SIG brings charities together to work under one umbrella focusing on delivering good quality social and health care services. They build powerful partnerships and creative solutions providing bespoke person-centred health and social care services through six subsidiaries, bridging gaps in provision and aid recovery, reablement and resettlement, supporting thousands of people with good-quality support and care in residential services, drop-in centres, community floating support settings (including people's own homes), criminal justice and probation settings, and hospitals awaiting discharge. SIG’s Mission is to create solutions that bridge the gaps in local health and social care, getting people out of hospital, out of prison and off the streets.
SIG is a not-for-profit organisation (the parent company), who together with their subsidiary charities SIG Penrose, SIG Housing Trust, SIG Equinox, SIG Pathways to Independence and SIG Safe Ground, SIG delivers a diverse range of specialist services designed to support people facing complex challenges. From substance use and mental health to homelessness, criminal justice, and personality disorders, SIG’s residential and community-based programmes are tailored to meet individual needs in order to ensure that people in our society have every opportunity to live fulfilled, healthy and constructive lives. SIG also offer dedicated services for women, ensuring gender-responsive support across multiple regions.
They do so across London, Brighton, Bedfordshire, Luton, and Kent. They also support people in prisons, currently delivering services in London and Liverpool.
Through their values they are committed to:
- Delivering excellence and innovation
- Promoting equality and mutual respect
- A belief that positive change is possible
- Involving and consulting service users
- Active citizenship and community involvement
- Valuing staff, harnessing their full potential
They are keen to have an inclusive board, therefore backgrounds and experience though important is matched by the need for the passion, ambition and interest to help SIG fulfil its mission.
As mentioned, your background is less important but if you are either within the charity or non-profit sector or within an organisation that operates in a similar environment, engaged in the housing profession or a service user or carer, this is of particular interest to the current board.
The successful candidates will demonstrate:
- A clear commitment to the charity’s mission and values, with a genuine passion for making a positive impact in the community
- The capacity to participate actively and from an informed position
- A willingness to use personal networks and resources of relevance to SIG’s charitable purpose
- A passion for their work, and to promoting SIG and its subsidiaries as an organisation
- A firm understanding and respect for the Nolan Principles of Public Life
There are 4 board meetings per year, both online and face-to-face plus contributions to planning, Awaydays and specialist areas. The total time commitment is in the region of four hours per month.

The Dementia Trust is looking for Trustees of the Board to join us through this next stage of significant growth and development.
This is an exciting and important moment in our journey. Over the past year, we have refreshed our strategy, launched new programmes, and strengthened our governance to position the Trust for greater impact. Now, we are looking to expand our Board with people who share our commitment to improving life for those affected by dementia.
Being a Trustee is a rewarding role. You will help shape the direction of the Trust, safeguard its mission, and ensure we continue to fund bold ideas that make a real difference. It is also a chance to connect with a group of passionate and committed colleagues, each bringing their own expertise and life experience.
Whether your background is in finance, corporate development, or another field entirely, what matters most is your energy, perspective, and belief in our vision: a world where people with dementia and their carers thrive, supported by innovative solutions and empowered to make meaningful change happen.
