About the organisation
Our Stop Funding Hate campaign is now part of Reliable Media, a legal entity that holds non-profit status as a Company Limited By Guarantee, fully independent, and not constrained by the rules relating to either Community Interest Companies or UK charities. Our climate-focussed spin-off campaign, Stop Funding Heat, is also run by Reliable Media. Stop Funding Hate and Stop Funding Heat are together under the Reliable Media “umbrella”, with a combined Board overseeing both campaigns. There is common ground for both organisations including the promulgation of misinformation and conspiracy theories to mislead and damage communities.
About the role
We are currently seeking new voluntary Board members to strengthen our governance and support the next stage of our mission to make hate and climate misinformation unprofitable.
At this point in time, we are especially looking to appoint a Treasurer to provide strategic financial oversight and support long-term sustainability.
We want to ensure that diverse voices are at the heart of our Board. We’d especially welcome applications from racialised communities, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, LGBTQ+ people, disabled people, people from minority faith backgrounds, including those disproportionately targeted by harmful or discriminatory media narratives.
Being a Board Member may be voluntary but it’s still a real commitment. We meet quarterly, stay in regular contact between meetings and must be willing to be legally (and publicly) responsible for a high-profile campaigning organisation. Board Members are also engaged in various working groups, such as fundraising, governance or DEI or offer short-term ad hoc support where they have relevant expertise. But it’s hugely rewarding. You would be helping to ensure Reliable Media continues to challenge harmful media narratives, shift industry norms and make hate and climate misinformation unprofitable.
Time Commitment-Treasurer
Approximately 15-20 hours per year, including core Board duties (four meetings plus preparation) and occasional specialist input on financial matters. Additional involvement in working groups is optional based on availability.
Term: 3 years (renewable once).
Our ideal candidate
Treasurer Specific Skills and Expertise
● Experience in financial management, accounting or non-profit finance management
● Understanding of small organisation financial systems and compliance
● Ability to translate and communicate financial information clearly and effectively for non-specialists
● Experience of budgeting, forecasting and risk is highly desirable
What’s in it for you
As a trustee, you play a direct role in supporting ethical, community-led journalism and countering misinformation. Your governance helps ensure Reliable Media can continue amplifying underrepresented voices and strengthening public understanding through responsible media. The benefits include personal growth and confidence as it strengthens your confidence in decision-making at senior level, helps you trust your judgment when weighing complex or ambiguous issues and encourages reflective leadership and long-term thinking, while you get a strong sense of contributing to something that aligns with your values
