Trustee - Finance

Organisation: Fulham Reach BC
Salary: Voluntary (reasonable expenses paid)
Location: Fulham Reach Boat Club, Chancellors Road, London W6 9GX
Contract type: Volunteer (Part time)
Closing date: 16 March 2026
Job Description: Fulham Reach Boat Club (FRBC) is looking to recruit a new charity trustee with expertise in finance, treasury or charity accounting.

We are an award-winning ‘Sport for Good’ charity, dedicated to transforming lives through inclusive rowing. We help to improve physical and mental wellbeing and to build skills, confidence, and community, focusing on three areas:
• Accessible Rowing - opening up access to the Thames for people with disabilities, to enjoy adaptive rowing and environmental activities
• Youth Development - providing subsidised rowing for state schools, free water-sports weeks for disadvantaged children in the school holidays, and junior squad bursaries
• Reducing Reoffending - delivering land rowing and coaching programmes for serving and former prisoners, to support rehabilitation and pathways to employment post-release.

FRBC also has a thriving adult and youth rowing membership, many of whom volunteer to support our social impact programmes, and is a leader in Environmental Action on the London Tideway, conducting weekly water-quality testing and regular river clean-ups. Following a successful pilot last year of accessible rowing for the visually impaired, we were delighted to be awarded a three-year grant from the National Lottery Community Fund to expand our programme to participants with a range of disabilities.

Now just over 10 years old, we have grown significantly in membership, participation, fund-raising and social impact. We are now seeking to add a further Trustee to our Board with a Finance background - a qualified accountant, ideally also with experience in Charity finance, who can join our Finance Subcommittee group that supports our internal forecasting & reporting function.

Term: The appointment will be for an initial period of three years.

Time Commitment: Flexible, but inclusive of quarterly in-person Board meetings and Sub-Committee meetings (via video call), plus attendance at some key events.

This is a pivotal time for the organisation, and there is huge scope for the new Trustee to have an impact.
How to apply: If you would be interested in applying, please send your CV and a covering letter to charles.pretzlik@yahoo.co.uk by 16th March 2026. If you would like to learn more about FRBC before making an application, please send us an email and we would be delighted to talk to you. Sport has an incredible power to change lives and Fulham Reach has a unique and innovative approach to achieving this for its local community. We look forward to hearing from you.
