The Community Christmas Day Lunch are looking for a Treasurer to join their committee, to help organise and prepare for this one day a year event to ensure it goes well. The committee first meet in January to discuss the previous event, before setting plans for the one to follow. Preparation for the event won’t begin until late in the summer, where tasks will be established and publicity commence. Early December is then monitoring progress and finalising tasks. The Treasurer is responsible for ensuring that all financial transactions are recorded, and the accounts are up to date. The committee as a whole will plan the event, source funding, input creative ideas, find entertainment, and create publicity. You will also need to keep the chairman and rest of the committee informed of the state of finances, and sign off on any transactions. We ask that all committee members try to be a part of the day itself, helping to ensure that it goes as intended and provides a wonderful experience for our guests. This role is perfect for anyone who is a retired accountant or bookkeeper, anyone currently working in the profession looking to help out in the community, or someone with relevant qualifications seeking more experience. Should you require additional information we can arrange an informal meeting to discuss any questions you might have. This role won’t be a large time commitment, as whilst parts of the role take place throughout the year which you will need to be available for, the charity are there to provide an event for one day. This event can make a big impact upon members of our community who might otherwise struggle during the festive season, and your efforts will go a long way to making that happen.

To make this happen, we need people who can assist with: • Drafting and developing funding applications • Researching data and opportunities • Managing and monitoring grant applications In addition, the Bluebell Railway Trust carries out important day-to-day work, such as liaising with donors, handling legacies, and managing accounts.

We are looking for a volunteer to help the Trust team with wills and legacies, which includes liaising with executors and their solicitors, and monitoring and reporting on the progress of the administration of estates. We also assist individuals who are thinking of leaving gifts in their wills to the Bluebell. The role would perhaps suit a retired solicitor, accountant or professional executor, or someone with a reasonable working knowledge of the law and practice of wills and estate administration.

The Bluebell Railway Trust, the charity that supports the Railway, is best known for managing our main fundraising appeals, donations and Gift Aid. It also receives gifts that very generous supporters leave us in their wills, known as legacies. Without such gifts the Railway would not be able to carry out much of the restoration work that is essential for its ongoing operation. Current and future projects that are being funded from gifts in wills include:- The overhauls of Q Class No 541and P Class 323 “Bluebell” The replacement of almost half a mile of worn-out track south of Sharpthorne Tunnel The overhaul of Bulleid designed Carriages

They are looking to recruit a co-opted governor. As members of the Full Board of Governors, governors work closely with the headteacher, supporting them and challenging them. The role will include: Attending governing board meetings, these normally take place around six times a year and are normally held outside school hours in the early evening. Looking at information and evidence on the school’s progress and discussing with school leaders. Visiting the school to see plans working in practice, and listening to the views of staff, pupils and parents. Training and ongoing development is provided by East Sussex Local Authority and through GovernorHub. This is all explained in the governor induction programme. Governors need to be committed, have the inquisitiveness to question and analyse, and the willingness to learn. They need good interpersonal skills, an appropriate level of literacy and be sufficiently numerate to understand basic data. It is preferable if any applicants do not have children/grandchildren at the school - as they already have parent elected governors and are looking for a balanced mix.
