About the organisation
Inclusive Mosque Initiative (IMI) is a feminist mosque that aims to create safer, inclusive and welcoming places for worship, especially for marginalised Muslims and non-traditional families. We aim to promote a rights-based Islam that fights against oppression in all its forms.
We currently have two streams of work:
1. Campaigning for safer, more inclusive support services:
We work with the mental health, domestic violence, and LGBT+ sectors to address the root causes of racism, ableism and misogyny, which stop Muslims from getting the help they need. We also provide anti-Islamophobia consultancy to organisations in the third sector.
2. Community mosque events and services:
We host inclusive community events like Eid, Ramadan, and Halaqa events. We really need volunteers to help make these events happen, so a big part of IMI’s work is finding, training, and supporting volunteers. We also offer Islamic marriage ceremony services, which we receive donations from.
About the role
We are looking for a Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees.
As IMI’s Treasurer you will be a Trustee of the charity, which is a governance role. You will be working with other board members and our director to decide how IMI runs and make sure our work is sustainable. As Treasurer, you will have the same voting rights and governance duties as the other Trustees, along with some extra finance duties.
Key Responsibilities

Attend all quarterly board meetings, and any urgent or necessary ad-hoc meetings.
