Lock keepers have been a fixture on Britain’s canals for hundreds of years and are one of the oldest traditions of the waterways. As ‘the face of the waterway’, modern-day volunteer lock keepers play an integral part in the visitor experience. Their role is to provide a polite and friendly welcome to waterway visitors, assisting boaters through the locks and helping to maintain the area.
It’s a perfect opportunity for those who enjoy working in the outdoors and are perhaps looking for something different to do and want to help support the Canal & River Trust. The key qualities we’re looking for are enthusiasm and a willingness to learn.
Anyone can join as long as you are over the age of 18 and have a least a day a week available.

The The Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi Society CIO is seeking a new Trustee/Treasurer. This is a volunteer position requiring one day’s work per month, supported by a bookkeeper. Knowledge of Ibn Arabi is not required, but rather a sympathetic interest in, and a wish to support, the values of the Society.
Who they are
The Society seeks to make the works of philosopher/mystic Muhyiddin Ibn Arabi (1165-1240 CE) widely available. Their activities include the promotion of scholarly research, translations and publications, events such as symposia, online talks, and a highly successful education programme. The Society supports a major manuscript archive project, a library hosted by Cambridge University, and publishes a bi-annual journal of Ibn Arabi studies, which is the leader in its field.
The role
The job-holder will oversee the financial management of the Society, provide management accounts to quarterly Board meetings, and submit the Society’s Annual Return to the Charity Commission. This is a volunteer position requiring about one day’s work per month and is supported by a bookkeeper.

With the support of a bookkeeper, key responsibilities include:
- Prepare an annual budget
- Prepare finance updates and cash forecasts for quarterly Board meetings
- Review management accounts
- Manage cashflow and set up payment runs
- Liaise with the Society’s external accountant over the Independent Examination of the year-end statutory accounts

Help guide our finances to ensure Gloucestershire Nightstop can provide safe homes and brighter futures for young people facing homelessness.
About Gloucestershire Nightstop
Gloucestershire Nightstop is a leading youth-specific homelessness charity dedicated to preventing homelessness among young people aged 16-25 in Gloucestershire. For nearly 20 years, we have championed bespoke housing and support models to help young people avoid, resolve, and move on from homelessness, enabling them to safely transition to adulthood and build better futures.
What will you be doing?
We are looking for someone who finds numbers and their impact interesting! We are less concerned with formal qualifications (although very welcome) than someone who commits to doing the work necessary in a timely manner and an ability to work co-operatively with the Chair, Executive Director and all trustees. The board takes the overall responsibility so you will need to be able to help trustees and staff to understand the financial information and its actual or potential impact on the charity immediately and long term. We have an experienced bookkeeper and an appointed experienced external examiner.
Overall purpose:
- Oversee all financial aspects of the charity, on behalf of the board of trustees, to evaluate our financial position and associated risks.
- Assist the Chair and the Executive Director in ensuring that the board of trustees fulfils its duties and responsibilities for the proper financial governance of the charity.
What are we looking for?
Essential:
- Financial Awareness: Knowledge of, or a willingness to learn, accounting practices relevant to corporate governance.
- Understanding of Regulations: Understanding of, or willingness to learn about, financial regulations governing charities and companies.
- Collaborative Approach: Financial oversight is a shared responsibility of the board, with the Treasurer working closely alongside fellow trustees as part of a team.
- Commitment & Time: Able to dedicate sufficient time to the role.
- Strategic Thinking: Ability to plan ahead and contribute to the charity’s long-term vision.
- Ability to digest, present & critically evaluate a range of information, including written reports, statistics and verbal communications.
- Willingness to challenge and engage.
- Understanding and commitment to diversity issues.
Desirable:
- Experience serving as a trustee or working within the charity sector.
- Formal financial qualifications.
Support and training available: If you're new to being a trustee, the Chair and board members will offer guidance and training to help you succeed.
What difference will you make?
Your financial oversight and insight will ensure Gloucestershire Nightstop can open its doors to every young person who turns to us in crisis - not just today, but for years to come. By helping us make the most of every pound, identifying risks before they become problems, and ensuring our resources match our ambition, you’ll directly empower us to provide safe homes, compassionate support, and real opportunities for young people on the brink of homelessness.
Time commitment
Estimate of time needed: up to five hours per month.
