Treasurer, Sandown Carnival Association

Sandown Carnival is a non-profit community group which has organised carnival events in the seaside town since 1889, and Sandown Bay Regatta since 2022. The organisation is run entirely by volunteers and role of treasurer involves being an officer of the Association and a member of the management committee which normally meets monthly.

The role is suitable for a part-time volunteer working largely from home and will entail being a named user of Sandown Carnival's bank account based at your home address.

A formal description of the Treasurer's role is set out in the 'Finance and Accounts' section of Sandown Carnival's constitution which can be viewed at https://www.sandowncarnival.com/documents
