WMS is looking for a Treasurer Trustee and Director to join our volunteer Board from 1 April 2026.
WMS is a small, award-winning charity with a bold vision! Our mission is to help people navigate through conflict towards peace. We’ve been running for over 20 years on a social enterprise model. Commercial mediators gift their time and expertise in commercial and workplace mediations, and their fees help to fund our office costs. Community mediations and conflict coaching are also delivered by volunteers. We provide skills training in our local community, in schools across London and organisations nationwide. We have a committed Trustee board and a part-time CEO who co-ordinates a team of skilled, experienced freelancers doing case-work, communications, projects and training.
In 2025, we directly supported just under 1,000 people. We processed 286 conflict resolution cases, achieving a 93% resolution rate, and trained over 400 adults and young people in conflict resolution skills.
Over the next three years we want to grow sustainably while maintaining our impact. We are looking for a volunteer with budgeting and forecasting expertise to join the trustee Board because our Treasurer is resigning shortly due to other commitments.
Who we are looking for
We need a “hands on” trustee who can act as a key strategic advisor to the CEO and the Board, guiding growth, funding, and major financial decisions. Currently there are:
• 4 in person 2 hour evening board meetings per annum, in Clapham Junction
• 4 Zoom meetings per annum for 90 minutes over lunch time
• Annual strategy morning, usually on a Saturday in November
As we don’t have a CFO, the Treasurer also has a short monthly meeting in person or on Zoom with the CEO to discuss financial targets, budgets and forecasts. They support the CEO with the submission of statutory annual accounts and are available for ad hoc advice on financial queries which may arise.
We’d like to hear from people who are motivated by our mission to build peace in a polarized world. We need expertise and experience in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and accounting and a willingness to support and challenge the CEO and the Board.
Whilst a knowledge of Charity SORPS would be an advantage, we are open to applications from people who are willing to learn!
Apply now
Please send a CV and covering letter outlining your experience and why you’d like to join us to sharon.crooks@peacewell.org.uk before 28 February 2026. We aim to interview after 9 March and for the Treasurer to join us in time for the new financial year on 1 April 2026.
