Treasurer Opportunity at Befriending Networks

29th July 2026

Our trustees oversee the running of our charity: strategy and business planning, governance, HR, finance, marketing, fundraising, evaluation, risk management and more. It can be an effective way to build your skills and your CV.  As a trustee, you can donate your skills, time, and attention to a cause you love!

You may be passionate about befriending, addressing social isolation and loneliness, and creating social connections. Or you might believe in the power of collaborative networks and the importance of continuous professional development. Volunteering with Befriending Networks would allow you to contribute existing knowledge and skills while exposing you to new experiences and connections.  

We are looking for a new Treasurer to provide strategic financial support to our charity. Our outgoing Treasurer, Stuart Gray, has served the maximum 3 year term of office, he said:

Being a part of Befriending Networks has allowed me to expand my financial knowledge while advising a strong and proactive Board and staff. I have taken great personal satisfaction in providing support to sector leaders who make a vital difference in their community. As I approach the end of my three year appointment I would like to support the new Treasurer to ensure a smooth transition and stability for the organisation.  This is an exciting opportunity for the new Treasurer to make a meaningful difference to befriending at a local and national level, while developing their professional skills.

We would be delighted to meet informally with any interested individual and answer your questions about the role and our organisation, these can be directed to our CEO, Susan Hunter by email susan@befriending.co.uk or call 07729 107 002.
