Upcoming vacancy (from October 2026 onwards) - Treasurer

About the role:
In advance of an upcoming retirement York Neighbours are seeking an organised, dependable and community-minded volunteer to join our Board of Trustees as our Treasurer.

The Treasurer plays a key role in managing the charity's financial records, as well as contributing to the strategic leadership of the organisation - supporting now over 640 York residents aged over 65 to keep living independently, enjoy social connection, and feel part of the community.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone with some financial or book-keeping experience who wants to use or develop their skills while making a tangible, positive difference within the community.

If you have the time and skills to be part of York Neighbours in this important role, then we'd love to hear from you.

About York Neighbours:
We are a small, and growing, volunteer-led charity which supports independence, reduces loneliness, and tackles isolation for people in York aged over 65. We do this through forms of "organised neighbourliness" manifesting in three main ways:

- help with one-off tasks and errands
- regular check-in and chat phone calls
- social outings.

These services are delivered by our incredible team of more than 90 volunteers, supported behind the scenes by just over 2.3 FTE part-time staff.

At the time of writing we support 641 registered service users - who we describe as our "Neighbours". This number has continued to grow since the charity was established in 2015.

Time commitment
- Six Board meetings each year.
- Around 4-8 hours per month undertaking Treasurer responsibilities.
- Occasional involvement in charity events or other activities where appropriate.
