What does a Zero Tolerance trustee do?

Trustees look after Zero Tolerance's assets and make sure the charity fulfils its main aim, which is the prevention of violence against women in all its forms.

Our Trustees commit to volunteering at least 4 hours a month. This time includes attending quarterly online Board meetings, sub-committee meetings, and up to two in-person training and development days annually.

The role of the Treasurer

The Treasurer is the Chair of the finance sub-committee. Working closely with the Co-Directors and Operations Manager, they oversee the preparation of the management accounts for distribution to the Board before each Board meeting.

The Treasurer guides and advises the Board of Trustees on all matters relating to the financial administration of the charity, the approval of budgets, independently audited annual accounts, and financial statements.

With the other trustees, the Treasurer develops strategic plans that ensure that the charity is on a stable financial footing.
