Portsmouth Fundraising Group Treasurer

There are around 2 million people living with sight loss in the UK. Guide Dogs, a UK-wide charity, supports people with a visual impairment to maintain their independence and live the life they choose. There are lots of different services on offer, ranging from volunteer-led services such as sighted guiding through to support for children and young people, access to technology, and the iconic guide dog service. It costs around £55,000 to train and support a guide dog partnership throughout the dog and owner’s life.

Our Fundraising volunteers play a significant part in enabling us to continue to provide these services. We are looking for a Fundraising Group Treasurer to join the Portsmouth Community Fundraising Group to manage the funds they have raised to support Guide Dogs. You will be part of a team of like-minded people, helping to maintain the accuracy of the team’s financial records. A beneficial role for people looking to expand their skills in accountancy or share them to support a charity. If you are someone with an interest in numbers and want to use your skills to support a charity, then this role could be perfect for you.

Our volunteers are given the skills and training to do this role, a bonus for someone wanting a future career in accounting! 

Volunteering for Guide Dogs should never leave you out of pocket. We'll make sure we pay any expenses related to volunteering with us, including travel costs.
