Regular Help

Cornwall Community Flood Forum (CCFF) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) open to everyone in Cornwall with an interest in flood risk – its causes, how to prepare and how to recover.

 The Cornwall Community Flood Forum work tirelessly to support communities, homes and businesses to become more resilient to the impacts of flooding. You can find out more on our website: https://www.cornwallcommunityfloodforum.org.uk/

It is essential that we recruit a Treasurer to ensure compliance with financial and charitable regulations.  We anticipate this should not take more than 1 hour a week + attendance at regular meetings to update trustees. Some previous experience with charity/public sector funding and contracts is helpful as well as excellent numeracy and the ability to use Excel

The role would begin whenever the person is ready to start and there is no deadline by which you need to have made an application. To express an interest or to find out more information about the role, please contact Gitty Ankers, the Chair of CCFF, either by email at gittyankers7@gmail.com or by phone on 07768 278579.
