treatment and support they need to overcome the psychological impacts of their experiences and go on to live their lives free from trauma.
They are a young charity, established in 2017, and now experiencing a period of growth. They are continuing to increase the support they can offer; be that through expanding existing service capacity, expanding their geographical reach or introducing new services.
At this important point in their journey, they are now seeking a Treasurer with charity finance experience to join the Board of Trustees. The Treasurer will oversee the financial affairs of the organisation, and report to the Board of Trustees at regular intervals on the financial health of the charity.

Trustees are also expected to attend occasional training and public or private events, such as fundraising events, strategic planning activities and away days.
Please note that this is a voluntary position and therefore unremunerated.

AfID have now arranged assignments for over 1000 accountants from over 50 countries, providing over 250,000 hours of one to one support to more than 500 non-profit partners.
Our partners, which are a blend of international charities and grassroot NGOs, such as street child centres, hospitals, micro-finance institutions, conservation projects, women’s empowerment programmes and schools, are all doing amazing work to tackle extreme poverty and inequality but due to limited resources are unable to access vital financial management training.
The main focus of all AfID assignments is to develop the skills, confidence and potential of local people, enabling organisations to ultimately have the financial management capacity they need to deliver more sustainable programmes to their many beneficiaries, whilst maintaining good relations with their donors. Volunteers could be budgeting with a street child centre in Kampala (Uganda), coaching a hospital bookkeeper in Kigali (Rwanda) or financial reporting for a primary school in Kathmandu (Nepal).
