Treasurer Trustee – Environment Charity – Volunteer Would you like to use your financial expertise to add value to a popular and successful local charity? We need a Trustee Treasurer to drive our financial strategy to ensure the continued success of our organisation. What difference will you make? An effective Treasurer is critical to WaPS fulfilling its governance obligations as a Charity and to ensuring our future as a popular, local, relied‑upon charity. What are we looking for?

Experience working within the financial arena with strong financial analysis skills. Understanding of financial issues for a small charity and the implications of proper financial management and control. Good independent judgement and the ability to evaluate risk. Willingness to work collaboratively with the management team at the Scrapstore and other Trustees to ensure an appropriate financial strategy.

What will you be doing?

Work with the Board to ensure WaPS’ financial viability and stability by advising on the financial implications of decisions and strategic plans. Ensure WaPS has an appropriate investment policy that does not conflict with the aims of WaPS and that financial resources are sufficient for current and projected spending. Implement proper financial procedures, controls and recording processes so that WaPS acts within legal, constitutional and accepted financial‑management practice. Team with the WaPS management team to produce necessary financial reports, accounts and audits. Collaborate with the board to develop the sustainability of our operating model and ensure continued success.

About WaPS We run a warehouse where our 1,300 members, including schools, individual artists and groups, can collect unlimited art supplies that companies would otherwise have thrown away. Members pay a nominal annual fee. Our team of 50 volunteers stock the shelves and run reception. Together, we have saved over 60 tons of valuable supplies from landfill this year. Last year's supplies were valued by our members at over £320,000. The average member takes over 4× the value of their membership, enabling artists to make more great art. We run a wide range of community and educational arts, crafts and reuse activities. #J-18808-Ljbffr
