About the role
An opportunity to work a few hours as month providing a valuable community resource. The centre is run by a small group of volunteer local residents - we have no paid employees and just one self-employed cleaner paid monthly.
We do not organise events but maintain the building and garden to a high standard and it is fully booked by regular groups and one-off bookings. Financially income exceeds expenditure and we hold a strong balance sufficient for the future success of the association or emergencies, repairs and improvements. Full information on the building and our history is on our website www.redcatchcc.com.
The current treasurer wishes to relinquish the role after a long tenure but will remain on the committee providing any guidance if needed. The role requires a few hours per month for invoicing and expenditure payments; there are about 8 meetings a year when a short financial report is required, an annual report for the independent auditor for presentation at the AGM in March plus the annual return to the Charity Commission. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and ages, and it could particularly suit a retiree looking for a volunteering opportunity to continue using their knowledge and skills.
