 Volunteer at Citizens Advice Merton and Lambeth
Throughout life, we all encounter problems that catch us unprepared, or are beyond our control. When local residents need guidance and advice support, CAML is here to provide them with free, independent, impartial, and confidential advice. Through performing Research and Campaigns work, CAML also supports the improvement of policies and practices that affect people’s lives both locally and nationally.
Citizen's Advice are an independent charity offering a mix of advice services and support. In fact, CAML is one of London’s leading and busiest advice charities. It was one of the first Citizens Advice services to open in 1939 - with over 80 years’ experience, their services and support are as important today as when their work began.
Whether you want to make good use of your skills, gain valuable experience or get involved with your local community, volunteering with CAML can provide an opportunity for something great. Together, CAML can reach more local people and help find a way forward.

 Brockwell Community Greenhouses are Looking for a Treasurer
Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses (BPCG) are currently looking for a Treasurer to sit on the Board of Brockwell Park Community Greenhouses and help them manage their finances. BPCG is a beautiful community garden situated in the middle of Brockwell Park in Herne Hill. They are a registered charity and fully committed to diversity and inclusivity and would like their board of trustees to reflect this. They employ three part-time staff who offer a wide range of volunteering opportunities in the garden, an education programme for local schools and families as well as a programme of adult work-shops in horticulture, woodworking, preserving and fermentation and crafts. Their new Barn provides a wonderful indoor space for music and community events with a large teaching kitchen, classroom and toilet facilities.
The role of Treasurer is essential to the organisation. BPCG need someone who can not only keep their finances in order and ensure long-term viability, but also help to develop a bold vision for the future. This voluntary position as Treasurer and Trustee is done for the most part at any time of day. However, an ability to do a small part of this during normal office hours would also be useful. In addition, trustees meet monthly in the evenings from 6.30 to 8 at the Greenhouses. The Treasurer has overall responsibility for BPCG finances and management responsibility for a volunteer who does the book-keeping and supports their three part time staff.
