Branch Treasurer Volunteer (East Renfrewshire)

We have 116 volunteer-led branches across the UK, covering almost three quarters of the country. We also have online branches for autistic people with a shared interest, identity or experience. Our hard-working volunteers run support, information and social activities for autistic adults, children and their families in their local area. They also organise and join in with fundraising and campaigning.

Our branches are financially independent and rely on local fundraising to keep themselves running. This is why the Treasurer role is vital for all of our branches, branches can’t function without you.
