About the organisation
Emerging Voices aims to promote the social inclusion and realise the musical aspirations of adults with lived-experience of mental ill-health, through offering music-based opportunities.
Emerging Voices has been running since 2019, and since that time has provided 1:1 instrumental lessons, open mic-nights, song-writing workshops, choir sessions and more to a growing number of adults with experience of mental ill-health in North Yorkshire.
This work has made a vital impact on the lives of these individuals, as they themselves tell us.
About the role
The treasurer is a charity trustee and oversees the accounts, which are prepared by the charity’s administrator. They produce a short financial report for each board meeting based on these accounts, and advise the board on financial matters. They may assist or advise the administrator and fundraiser, for example on project budgets or figures for funding bids. The treasurer also leads in submitting the final annual accounts to the Charity Commission. Other general responsibilities includes attendance at bi-monthly board meetings, either in-person or remotely.
Our ideal candidate
Preferably we are looking for somebody with professional experience in the financial sector and skills in bookkeeping. Experience of charity finances would be a particular advantage.
A good trustee will be conscientious and able to problem-solve constructively as a member of the trustee team.
An interest in music would be valuable, and a passion for improving the lives of adults with mental ill-health is essential.
What’s in it for you
Having a treasurer to oversee our accounts and advise us on financial matters is absolutely integral to our operation as a charity on every level, going forwards! As Emerging Voices is a local charity with a small number of trustees on its board, any new trustee is central to the running the charity, and has a direct impact on the services that we offer to our beneficiaries. As the organisation is a young one, there would also be opportunities to shape its direction and scope in the future.
