Customer Review
As a new treasurer with no previous experience of the role, I found the 'Treasurer Skills in a Community Group' and Organisational Finance for Community Groups courses immensely helpful. The courses were very easy to follow but gave me a solid understanding of both my financial duties and legal responsibilities.
