We're Looking for a Treasurer!
Mast Cell Action is seeking a qualified accountant to join our Board of Trustees as Treasurer. This voluntary role plays a key part in ensuring our financial sustainability, helping us continue supporting and advocating for the MCAS community. The Treasurer oversees the general bookkeeping and accounting, acting as the primary contact for all the charities financial queries. As Mast Cell Action is a registered charity it is required that the Treasurer also stands as a trustee. The Treasurer will lead on all budget planning, financial reporting, financial record-keeping, and manage payments, with regular communication and feedback with the other Trustees. The Treasurer must have a strong understanding of basic financial principles.
Please note this is a voluntary role and works alongside the charity’s voluntary trustees.
Key Tasks:
Keeping and maintaining financial oversight
Processing and paying invoices.
Keeping accurate records of financial transactions.
Ensuring all cash and cheques are promptly deposited
Reporting regularly to the Trustees on the charity’s financial position.
Preparing a year end statement of accounts to present to the auditors.
Financial planning, including an annual budget and monitoring it throughout the year.
Reporting as required to all statutory bodies, the board of trustees, the CEO and operational managers of the charity.
Provide financial advice if required
If you're passionate about making a difference for people living with MCAS, have strong financial expertise, and want to help guide a growing charity, we’d love to hear from you. While lived experience of MCAS is preferred, it’s not essential.

Description
We are a rare diseases charity established at the end of 2015 to respond to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). MCAS is a crippling, unpredictable and frightening condition affecting the immune system. Sufferers from MCAS have "wrongly programmed" immune systems that react to a wide range of triggers including food, drink, stress, temperature and many others. The effects range from unpleasant allergic reactions, through to an overall debilitation resulting in people being unable to leave their houses. It was first recognised internationally in 1990, with a set of diagnostic criteria agreed in 2011, but is little known or understood in the UK, where incidence seems to be increasing. Here patients can wait 3-5 years for a diagnosis, often receive very little knowledge or help from within the medical establishment and can find themselves in a frightening limbo. (More on the disease can be found on our website: www.mastcellaction.org or on Facebook
