The main responsibility of the role is to supervise the Centre's day-to-day financial operations.Takes place: Please contact us to find out when this opportunity takes place.

New trustees will be provided with written information on the running of the Charity, and will be able to meet current trustees as much as needed to go through the workings of the Centre. Specific information will be provided on each particular role/skill. All questions will be welcomed. We do not have the capacity to provide training, but would direct any new trustee who wished to have training to look at the FVA website. Experience required: An accountancy background, though useful, is not essential. A feel for numbers and an organised approach are more important than a technical qualification.

Director, Trustee, Board/Committee member or Governor?!
Organisations have different names for the volunteers who are responsible for the running of the organisation - some are called Board members, some are Committee members, some may use the word Director for example. Broadly speaking, they mean the same thing - the people at the top who are ultimately responsible! These are important roles (for which training and support is available) and without volunteers at board level voluntary sector organisations could not exist.Help and Support
Call us to arrange an appointmentGive us a call on 0800 389 6046 to arrange an appointment to chat with our staff about what opportunities are available - at Board/Committee level as well as operational opportunities. Meetings can be arranged outside of the office in some cases.
