Group Finance Contact (Northallerton)

Use your skills to make a difference as a Parkinson’s Group Finance Contact.

‘What I enjoy most about volunteering is that it's quite fulfilling. I was looking for some way of volunteering that would play to my skills. Managing the accounts for the group allows me to use my skills and make a difference to members’ lives.

I would say to anyone unsure about volunteering as Finance Contact, it is not as daunting as you may think. You do not have to be a trained accountant!’ Steve, Finance Lead Volunteer.

As Finance Contact, you will play a key role in ensuring the group’s finances are well managed. You’ll record and report financial activity accurately. Your organisational and budgeting skills will ensure every penny is managed well and spent on the most appropriate activities.

Our Northallerton Group has been growing consistently in recent years, and are in a position to open a Parkinson's UK bank account for the first time. This will allow them to reinvest funds raised in their local community, and the Finance Contact will have a key role to play in making sure this is a smooth process.

You’ll have the support of your fellow group volunteers as well as a named Parkinson’s UK Staff Contact, support from our Finance Team and training provided, so you won’t be alone.
