SURF is looking for a new Trustee to take on the role of Treasurer. Trustees play an important part in our life and work. They give their own time and skills to supporting the most vulnerable in Rwanda, without financial recompense. We thank them for all that they have done and will continue to do. If you are interested or know anyone who would fit the profile, please do respond.
Survivors Fund (SURF) was formally constituted in 1994 and is registered in the UK as a charity (No. 1065705) and a company limited by guarantee (No. 03411565) with our head office in Kigali, Rwanda. We currently have an international Board of 12 trustees, 5 of which are survivors of the Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda and 7 of which are from diverse professional backgrounds. We have four board meetings each year which are held virtually and at least once a year as well as in-person in London, though there is no restriction as to where the Treasurer can be located.
Due to the retirement of our current Treasurer (after 10 years in post), we are recruiting a successor to begin in post by September 2025, for an initial three-year term.
The overall role of a treasurer is to:
- Maintain an overview of the organisation’s affairs
- Ensuring its financial viability
- Ensuring that proper financial records and procedures are maintained.

To apply for the position, please send a letter of interest and a CV by email to SURF UK Coordinator, David Russell, at david.russell(at)survivors-fund.org.uk by Friday 6th June. Please also contact David if you have any questions about the position, or require any further information. Thank you.
