Would you like to join the Board of a local charity which works to improve the health & wellbeing of children, young people and adults? Ninewells Community Garden is a small local charity and exists to promote physical activity and mental health through community gardening.

The Board is currently made up of 8 members and meets every 6 weeks and is looking to recruit a new member.

The main duties are to maintain an overview of the charity’s financial affairs and ensure its financial viability; control expenditure; maintain proper financial records and procedures; and fulfil regulatory reporting requirements. You will work with our current Treasurer who wishes to step down from the role in the New Year. As Ninewells Community Garden does not employ a finance officer or company secretary, this is a hands-on role covering the full range of financial, accounting, regulatory and governance issues. Our trustees are all volunteers, most of whom live or work in the local community, and all of whom use their skills, knowledge and experience to help guide and govern our service, shape strategy, and give direction to the charity.
