At Sussex Community Foundation, our mission is to make Sussex a fairer, more equal place. We do this by enabling local people to support local causes, making grants to small charities and voluntary groups working in communities across Sussex.

Are you passionate about making a difference in Sussex communities? Sussex Community Foundation is seeking a Voluntary Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees. This vital role combines strategic financial oversight with governance responsibilities, providing an opportunity to apply your financial expertise for the benefit of local communities.

As Treasurer, you will guide and advise the Board of Trustees in approving and reviewing financial strategy, annual budgets, accounts and investments. And you will advise the Board on the financial implications of their decisions. You will also provide strategic advice to the Foundation’s CEO and Head of Finance & Resources.

In addition to attending quarterly Board meetings in Lewes (with some remote attendance possible), you will chair the Finance & Resources Sub-Committee, which also meets four times a year. All trustees are encouraged to help spread the word about the Foundation’s work, including through networking opportunities at our events.

This is a unique chance to use your skills to make a meaningful impact in Sussex. By joining our dedicated Board, you will contribute to shaping the Foundation’s work and ensuring its long-term success.

If you’re passionate about supporting your local community and believe you have the skills to excel in this role, we encourage you to apply and show us how you meet the criteria.
