North East Anti-Racism Coalition (NEARC) Finance Committee

NEARC is a growing movement that came together in response to last summer’s unrest in the North East. We are a broad-based coalition united by the belief that embracing our diversity strengthens our region—economically, socially, and culturally.

With new funding secured to support our mission, we have established a Finance Committee to ensure strong financial oversight and transparent governance. We are now seeking an indivdual to serve as Independent Member.

Who we’re looking for, we welcome applications from individuals who:

• Have relevant financial qualifications or experience (e.g., accountancy, financial management, charity finance)
• Bring lived experience of racism or deep understanding of racial justice issues
• Are passionate about anti-racism, inclusion, and community-led change

We particularly encourage applications from people from Black, Asian, and other racially minoritised backgrounds.

Time Commitment:

• One meeting per month (approximately one hour)
• Occasional contact or follow-up work between meetings
• Roles are voluntary, but out-of-pocket expenses will be reimbursed
• Why Join? This is an exciting opportunity to help shape a movement committed to real, long-term change in the North East.

As a Finance Committee member, you’ll play a key role in ensuring that our resources are used effectively, ethically, and with maximum impact.
