You do not need to be a member of the SVP to apply. The SVP is well known as a parish based practical service for those in need.

The Council Treasurer is responsible for the financial affairs of the Council -- this involves preparing budgets, keeping accounts, receiving, recording and banking income, paying properly authorised members’ expenses and bills, reporting regularly to the Central Council and the Society’s National Office. Both the secretary and the treasurer would need to attend the Central Council meetings which take place in Birmingham on a Wednesday evening every two months.
