The treasurer's role

TYC is looking for a qualified accountant to join our Trustees, oversee its financial management, and be jointly responsible for its governance.  This opportunity comes as our current Treasurer steps down for personal reasons 

Trustees meet once a month (2nd Thursday of the month, in the evening) on Teams. Therefore this role is open to someone in any location although we hope there will be opportunity to meet in person occasionally.  

Current Challenges

• There is growing demand for more sessions to accommodate the needs of our youth
• The need for additional support, particularly mental health and other challenges faced by today’s young people, is increasing
• The community hall’s availability constraints hinder our capacity to introduce new initiatives or extend our services to families due to space limitations.                                                                    

Goals

• We have found a property that is perfect for our needs.
• We are having productive conversations with North Yorkshire Council and National Lottery - Reaching Communities regarding funding. We have sought advice from Community First Yorkshire regarding business planning and have been allocated a Development Officer.

New Treasurer's role

The treasurer will be joining the board at an exciting time in the growth and development of TYC. We would want them to continue ensuring proper systems are in place for budgeting, financial control and reporting; keeping all trustees informed about the state of the organisation’s finances and ensuring financial reports to the trustees are comprehensible and properly discussed.

Duties fulfilled by our current Treasurer: 

• Monthly budget and forecasts
• Monthly bank reconciliation & cashflows
• HMRC gift aid submissions
• Payment of expenses, invoices
• Annual Charity accounts
• Annual Corporate tax return
• Attend trustee meeting
