Based on feedback from across the Diocese, we launched our Treasurer Forum in 2024.
This regular online forum will feature informative talks from Diocesan staff and our treasurer ambassadors, along with a Q&A session and networking opportunities with fellow treasurers.
Next Forum Meeting - January 28th 2025
Our next online meeting will be on Tuesday January 28th at 6.30 p.m. The meeting will focus on providing guidance towards the preparation for end of year accounts and the Annual Meneral meeting (APCM).
All Treasurers should have received a direct email invite in December containing the Zoom meeting link but the link can also be requested by emailing resourcingparishes@leeds.anglican.org
Please feel free to forward the invitation to anyone else who may benefit from the forum. If you'd like to present anything at future meetings please contact us.

Get involved - Become a Treasurer Ambassador
During the second Treasurer Forum session we discussed the Treasurer Ambassador role and how useful it would be to increase the number of Treasurer Ambassadors we have across the Diocese. Please see below an explanation of the role:
Treasurer Ambassadors will help to :
- Strengthen the treasurer network
- Support fellow treasurers online and in person
- Review Diocesan materials before publication
- Give feedback on desired training and events
- Mentor new treasurers
- Collaborate with Diocesan staff
Participation is flexible and ambassadors can tailor their involvement and choose the activities that suit their skills and time best.
If you don't wish to volunteer as a Treasurer Ambassador you may still be interested in being contacted by fellow treasurers regarding advice on the bank or accounting system you use.
Please find a link to a survey form below through which you can sign up to volunteer as a Treasurer Ambassador or advise that you would be happy to be contacted for ad hoc advice by fellow treasurers. The form should take around 3 minutes to complete.
