Share old skills or learn new ones
Why volunteer ‘behind the scenes’?
Much of the work of WAMES involves ‘speaking out’, advocating and supplying information about ME.
That is not possible without people working in support roles like secretary, treasurer and trustee.
What are Trustees?
The Secretary and Treasurer keep the organisation functioning legally and they are part of the management team, called Trustees. Trustees share the responsibility for making decisions about what needs to be done and steer the organisation in the best direction. No charity can operate without them!
What does a Treasurer do?
- pay out and receive money
- keep records so we know how much money we have
If you can easily balance your personal finances and enjoy planning and budgeting, then please consider doing the same for WAMES. Any additional knowledge and skills you might need can be picked up along the way.
What does a secretary do?
- support the Chair to organise 1-3 virtual meetings a year of the Management Team (trustees)
- help the Team keep policies and practices legal and up to date
Please note:
- Training can be arranged & expenses will be paid
- Most tasks can be carried out from home
- You will get to know the team virtually
- You don’t have to be knowledgeable about ME
- The post will give useful experience to use old skills or learn new ones to add to your CV
Join us to give a voice to people affected by ME in Wales!
