This is a volunteer role for which there is no payment. The overall role of the treasurer is to maintain an overview of the organisation’s financial affairs, ensuring its viability and proper financial records and procedures are maintained.

Specific Roles:
• To oversee and present budgets, accounts and financial statements.
• To meet with other volunteer officers about financial matters.
• To ensure that appropriate accounting procedures and controls are in place
• To ensure accounts meet the conditions of contractual agreements with funders
• To attend and present financial reports to the steering group
• To make a presentation of the accounts at the annual general meeting
• Assist other officers in funding bids for grants

We are a small group of volunteers,all unpaid. Our group is an unincorporated community group. We have no staff or premises. Our steering group meets at 5pm on the first Wednesday of every month at Barnsley Town Hall. Our turnover between July 2023 and May 2024 was roughly £17,000 primarily expenditure from one grant,all of which is spent on providing resources for asylum seekers and refugees (food vouchers, travel passes, SIM cards etc).

The role of the Treasurer requires an estimated commitment of 2 to 4 hours per month.
