Could you be our new Treasurer?

We need a new Honorary Treasurer to ensure we have strong financial management for the future.

If you are good with numbers and can spare one hour a week to help our charity, we want to hear from you!

Becoming our new Treasurer is an great opportunity to play a senior role in CPRE Somerset. CPRE will celebrate its centenary in 2026 so you will be joining at an exciting time! You will be applying your financial management skills and experience to make a real difference, and to be part of a friendly and committed group.

Most of the work can be carried out from your home.  We are looking for a volunteer who lives in the administrative county of Somerset (not B&NES or North Somerset).

This voluntary role is very flexible and should take, on average, around 1 hour per week plus attendance at Trustee meetings every couple of months. Meetings are held in the daytime on weekdays – some in person and some online.

What we are looking for

Ideally, we hope that you can offer us:

• experience of setting and managing budgets
• good organisational and book-keeping skills
• ability to present financial information clearly
• computing skills, including use of spread-sheet packages, email and internet
• the ability to work as a team member with a group of committed volunteers
• the ability to attend regular meetings or, when not possible, you can provide updates for meetings
• an interest in the countryside

What’s in it for you

• Use your skills and experience to contribute to the success of our charity and make a positive difference to the countryside
• Meet like-minded people and enjoy being part of a team
• Enhance your CV by developing new skills and gaining valuable experience
• We’ll support you to develop in your volunteering role and provide you with relevant training
• We’ll give you a reference for your future work or volunteering
• Get involved with CPRE events, locally and nationally
• The opportunity to attend a volunteer induction session online
• We provide out-of-pocket travel expenses

Our current Treasurer would like to stand down in late 2025 after many years of service, so we anticipate this role beginning in December 2025 or early 2026, if possible. The Charity Manager and the outgoing Treasurer will help to get you started and support you as you learn the ropes.

If you would like an informal chat about this role, please email our Manager, Becky Collier on admin@cpresomerset.org.uk or you can press the red button below to find out more.
