New treasurer needed for Gloucester Civic Trust

Gloucester

Gloucester Civic Trust is looking for a new treasurer to join its dynamic Council of Management board of Directors.

 

The Charity:

Gloucester Civic Trust exists to stimulate public interest in the City’s heritage and architecture, and secure the preservation, protection, development and improvement of features of historical interest. Our flagship building, The Folk of Gloucester, operates a Community Heritage Centre, hosting community activities, events, exhibitions and a modern office letting space, while celebrating our large Tudor buildings’ historical features. Income is generated through space lettings, our small café, tours of the buildings and attendance at events.

We work with community groups, musical societies, literary groups and historical societies alongside the Trust’s own membership – currently consisting of almost 700 very enthusiastic and interested members, many of whom volunteer their services to support our work.

 

About The Role:

• Presenting financial reports to the Council of Management (CoM) to help the CoM understand the Trust’s financial position
• Advising the CoM on how to carry out its financial responsibilities
• Liaising with professional advisors
• Overseeing the preparation and scrutiny of annual accounts (including summary for newsletter)
• Day to day financial duties, including book-keeping, the payment of expenses, budgeting and preparation of reports

Further activities:

• Implementing internal financial controls and keeping them under review so they remain fit for purpose
• Arranging public and employer’s liability insurance
• Gift Aid claims
• Delegated Authority

The CoM has given the Treasurer the discretion to transfer money between financial accounts, to open or close financial accounts, and to approve and pay individual expense claims (except the Treasurer’s own expense claims) of up to £100 each. In the case of the Treasurer’s own expense claims, a second member of the CoM is required to pre-authorise reimbursement.

Please note that this is a voluntary role.

If you are interested, please email Martyn White at chairman@gloucestercivictrust.org
