KMHCF is a small charity which assists individual unpaid Mental Health Carers (ie Family, Friends) with advice, guidance and peer support. As well as 1:1 support, we also have a monthly group where members can meet others with lived-experience.
We also act as the collective voice to represent the views and concerns of these Carers in the Royal Borough of Kingston. We are recognised in this campaigning role by statutory services who engage us as active members of relevant committees and strategy groups, and we also partner with other third-sector organisations.
We are keen to further develop our service and we invite a volunteer with financial experience to help us achieve this. Whilst KMHCF is fully-funded for its present activities, we will look to the Treasurer to guide us towards funding opportunities for future expansion, and to take the lead on the application processes.
Our financial activity is very low at the moment, but you would need to maintain financial control and ensure we comply with our legal responsibilities as a Registered Charity.
You should ideally have experience of serving in a small charity, or have appropriate transferrable skills.
It would be good if you have some awareness of Mental Health yourself, but this is not essential. Most of all, you should have the enthusiasm to serve Carers who can often feel isolated and bewildered.
The Treasurer would part of our Management Committee which meets about every two months on a mid-week evening. Otherwise, the role is home-based. However, we welcome offers from our Trustees to attend other meetings to represent the Forum or to take responsibility for leading projects, as they feel able.
This role could lead to a Trustee position.
If you have the drive to make a real difference for Carers, please contact us for an informal discussion as a first step towards joining us.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
