Volunteers needed!

Wednesday, 21st July 2021

We urgently need three volunteers for our Supervisory Committee, including a chair.

The committee is independent of our Board and staff and acts on behalf of our members as an audit committee - a kind of watchdog.

It makes sure that we operate within the law and within our rules and the policies and that we are working in the best interest of our members.

Being a member of the Supervisory Committee is not an onerous task and where shared between three people it only requires a couple of hours commitment per month.

Our office hours are 9am-4pm, Monday to Friday, and Committee members can come at any time within these hours to carry out their audit role.

There is a detailed guide available of the main areas that need checking, and how often, but largely it is up to the Committee to set its own agenda to suit its members’ availability.

The audit may be carried out as a team or the checks split between the members. If you are interested in helping us continue our great work, supporting Darlington residents and the community please email our Chief Executive Tony Brockley tony@darlingtoncreditunion.co.uk or call him on 07490 112912
