We are a small, friendly charity, run by four volunteer trustees and loads of volunteer fundraisers. We are a dynamic charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) based in Liverpool, dedicated to fundraising initiatives that create meaningful impact both locally and for baby and children’s hospitals in Sana’a, Yemen. Rooted in solidarity values, our work often aligns with principles of Islamic giving, including zakat, but is open to all who wish to give and support. On occasion, we co-fundraise with charities for Palestine.
We are seeking a volunteer treasurer to help us with financial management and reporting. Our turnover is less than £50,000 per year and we are therefore able to produce light touch accounts for the Charity Commission. We would like support with this, and with ensuring we remain financially compliant, as well as with ideas for sustainable fundraising. The trustees meet less than once a month and we anticipate a small time committment for this role.
We are particularly keen to see applications from people who have a specific interest in health and wellbeing for people living in war affected states, especially Yemen; or who have a connection with Liverpool. We're a real passionate 'family' and look forward to welcoming a new member who shares our goals.
The Role
As our Volunteer Treasurer, you will play a vital role in supporting the financial health of the charity. You’ll oversee our finances, ensure transparency, and provide guidance to trustees on managing funds responsibly and in accordance with both UK charity law and, where relevant, principles of Islamic giving.
Key Responsibilities
- Maintain clear and accurate financial records using simple bookkeeping tools (e.g., spreadsheets or accounting software).
- Prepare simplified annual accounts and financial reports suitable for a small CIO.
- Advise the Board of Trustees on financial matters, ensuring informed decision-making.
- Oversee bank reconciliations, expense tracking, and budget monitoring.
- Ensure compliance with Charity Commission regulations and reporting deadlines.
- Provide guidance on zakat-eligible projects and ensure funds are managed in accordance with Islamic charitable principles where applicable.
- Help develop and review financial policies and procedures.
- Attend trustee meetings (typically quarterly) and provide financial updates.
- Brainstorm and share experience of novel and sustainable fundraising ideas.
Skills & Experience
Essential:
- Experience with bookkeeping, accounting, or finance (qualified accountant or qualified by experience).
- Familiarity with charity finance and reporting requirements (especially for small charities/CIOs).
- Strong attention to detail and ability to present financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues.
- Understanding of Islamic giving, including zakat, and ability to advise appropriately.
- Commitment to the values and objectives of the charity.
Desirable:
- Knowledge of digital accounting tools (e.g., QuickBooks, Xero, Excel).
- Previous trustee or treasurer experience in a charity setting.
- Experience of fundraising.
- Based in or familiar with the Liverpool community.
- Special interest in aligned issues or geographies.
What You’ll Gain
- Opportunity to make a tangible difference through financial stewardship.
- Be part of a passionate and friendly team of trustees and volunteers.
- Gain experience in governance and charity finance.
- Flexibility and autonomy to manage your time and role.

Help us to grow brand-new online charity platform A Good Thing! Come on board to help us manage relationships with the businesses that have joined us: use your communications skills to drive more businesses to engage with the platform and to make donations of things they no longer need.
A Good Thing is a not-for-profit set up with one mission: to send less to landfill, and more to a good cause. We're rolling out fast across the UK, momentum is building, and we're growing a network of passionate local volunteer champions right across the country to drive our growth.
You’ll be using both your communications skills and your project management expertise to help us grow the number of businesses engaging with the platform and giving things away.
Come with us on our journey towards reducing waste and boosting wonderful local charities at the same time.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Finance Volunteer
We’re the MS Society – a community of people living with MS, scientists, campaigners, listeners, organisers, ambassadors and fundraisers. Our volunteers are a key part of achieving our goals and their support is vital. Join us.
About this opportunity
We are looking to recruit a Finance Volunteer for our Chesterfield and District Group. As a Finance Volunteer, you would be joining a coordinating team of volunteers to plan and deliver services and activities to support people locally.
You will maintain and approve income and expenditure records and explain financial information clearly to other group members. You would ensure our financial requirements and policies are followed, and that money is spent in a cost effective manner.
This is a great opportunity to gain experience with a large charity, develop your existing skills and learn new ones. We need you to get involved and help make positive changes to the lives of people affected by MS.
About you
You’ll have an interest in the MS Society and the work that we do, as well as the enthusiasm to represent both us and our values locally. You will understand the needs of people affected by MS in your area and be sympathetic to the needs and motivations of volunteers. You’ll be comfortable with figures, preferably with an accounting or business background. You will live in the immediate area of the Group, allowing you to meet with other volunteers from the Group.
