Honorary Treasurer (Trustee) — Hammersley Homes (Voluntary)
ABOUT US
Hammersley Homes is a Hampshire-based charity, established in 2018, supporting adults who live with enduring mental health challenges and psychotic illnesses. We provide friendship, security and practical support — through our Outreach Programme today, working towards fully supported homes for life as our long-term goal. In 2025 our work was recognised with a Prestige Award of Excellence for Mental Health Support.
ABOUT THE ROLE
We are seeking a volunteer Treasurer to join our Board of Trustees. The Treasurer provides independent, trustee-level oversight of the charity's finances, working alongside — and distinct from — our Finance Officer's day-to-day role. It is a rewarding opportunity to bring financial leadership to a small, ambitious charity at an important stage in its development, including oversight of a significant one-off legacy now being realised.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Review and present financial reports to the Board in a clear, accessible format
- Advise the Board on how to carry out its financial responsibilities
- Oversee the preparation and scrutiny of the annual accounts
- Oversee the financial aspects of significant one-off transactions and legacies, working with appropriate professional advisers
- Oversee the level of external scrutiny appropriate to the charity — whether independent examination or statutory audit — and liaise with the examiner or auditor
- Support the Board in maintaining sound internal financial controls and safeguarding the charity's assets
- Work with our Finance Officer and, as required, external financial advisers

- Clear communication and enthusiasm for our cause
