Treasurer

Are you interested in the welfare of seniors living in Ayrshire? Do you have a few hours a month to spare? If so, we would like you to volunteer with us and join our committee as Treasurer.
At Age Concern Ayr, we have two main resources - our Charity Shop and our Advice & Information Centre which provide opportunities for our local population to support its elderly community. Our shop offers loads of pre-loved items at great prices. The funds from this allow us to run a free and confidential advice and information service to help you and provide advice on benefits, general information and much more. Our Advice & Information centre exists to create the best possible outcomes for elderly people by providing practical support and advice to those experiencing a feeling of being left behind by amongst other things today’s technology where every application seems to be online and details asked for digitally.

Main duties:
Ensure the charity is carrying out its purposes for the community benefit.
Comply with the charity's governing document.
Act in the charity's best interests.
Ensure the charity is accountable financially.
Manage the charity's resources responsibly.

Initially we would offer a period of shadowing our current Treasurer before taking office fully as Treasurer.
