Bayside Football Club operates in South Fife, initially in Dalgety Bay but the catchment of club members has grown significantly in recent years. The club aims to promote participation in Football for as many local residents as possible, no matter the ability or experience level. Membership is primarily under the age of 18 but the club is building pathways to support adult teams for male and female members. As a charity the club must always have full traceability and recording of funds raised and funds spent in its name. The Treasurer is responsible for making and receiving payments on behalf of the club and for keeping an accurate and transparent record of the club’s financial activities. The role provides an opportunity to support community development activities, raising the health and wellbeing of local young people and adults and also to network with other committee members, coaches and community leads.
