We’re looking for a Treasurer – could it be you?

Trustee Opportunities – Treasurer

The Crossroads Project
Meltham

The Crossroads Project is looking for a volunteer Trustee who could take on some of the responsibilities of Treasurer with a view to taking on the role at the end this year. The Project is here to serve the Meltham communities and was established 29 years ago by Meltham Churches Together. It remains an organisation founded in Christian principles; however, we are open to any volunteers – regardless of background or faith – who reflect these principles in their work and in the community. In 2024 we were awarded the King’s Award for Voluntary Services in recognition of the work we do as a volunteer lead organisation in the community
Ideally the volunteer Treasurer would be someone with experience or an interest in finance. Some of the responsibilities would be to maintain financial control, records and ensure we comply with our legal responsibilities as a Registered Charity as well as negotiating contracts with suppliers, utilities, landlords etc. Our accounts are not overly complex, but we do have several income streams and manage the finance of the Advice Centre, Foodbank and Charity Shop, in addition to other funds. You would be supported by the current Treasurer until the end of his tenure and the Assistant Treasurer.

Trustees meet at least 4 times a year for half a day, and at times get involved in day-to-day issues of running the organisation or specific events such as fund-raising. We really believe that getting involved in community groups and activities can seriously improve your health and wellbeing! So come along and join us!

Interested?
If you would like more information about the position and would like an informal chat, please feel free to contact the Chair of the Trustees Sue Priestley info@thecrossroadsproject.co.uk or the current Treasurer Andrew Collins accounts@thecrossroadsproject.co.uk in the first instance. Or you can contact us at the Centre on 01484854500 or by email at info@thecrossroadsproject.co.uk

We look forward to hearing from you!
