Treasurer Trustee Vacancy
GATEOPENER is a Newmarket based charity providing free information, advice and support to people with disabilities, their families and carers, in Suffolk and East Cambridgeshire. It is governed by a Board of Trustees (all are volunteers, most of whom either have disabilities or are carers themselves) and is entirely dependant upon grants and donations. We aim to improve the life opportunities for disabled people, particularly children and young persons, by providing the information to access appropriate resources, equipment and services.
We have a vacancy for a Treasurer - a vital and developing role, providing budgeting and financial planning, as well as ensuring on-going support for the Charity through seeking nationwide funding. In fact the submission of grant applications could be treated as a separate role if a second willing volunteer could be recruited.
We are currently receiving a grant from the Big Lottery and Forest heath District Council and looking to build on our ten years experience by extending our services to a wider catchment area and to minority groups.
We would like to invite those interested in this worthwhile and exciting opportunity to contact us for any further information they may require.
