Donations and Treasurers
- Compliance Challenge Week 2 | |
The Treasurer - a Job Description |
| “Our strength as a political party comes from the support we receive from volunteers. Being a Treasurer is a huge responsibility and one that often gets less appreciation than it should. I just want to say a huge thank you to everyone who helps keep our local parties on the right track with their finances. We hope this programme supports new treasurers in the role and acts as a refresh for those with more experience.” |  |

CEO of the Liberal Democrats

 Your January Donation Return
The January PPERA report is due by 10th February (including nil returns).
If you haven’t submitted your report yet, please do so urgently. Here’s a step-by-step guide should you need it.
Donation queries: Lighthouse help: | | You only have 30 days for permissibility checks on donations / gifts / loans of £500 and over, so it’s good practice to record them on Lighthouse as and when you receive them. Waiting until month-end could mean a late declaration and risk of forfeiting the amount to the Electoral Commission, as well as a fine! |
Further Help | | Come along to one of our online Compliance Clinics - every 3rd Monday of the month, 6-7pm. These drop-in Zoom sessions are a Q&A on anything relating to compliance and data protection. Next one: 16 Feb | | | Alternatively, one-to-one appointments are available for more in-depth / confidential queries either online or over the phone.
Our Slack channel for Treasurers is a great way to connect with each other, share knowledge and is more conversational than email.
Email compliance@libdems.org.uk to register for any of the above.
Do visit the Members Area on the Party website. Officers should also sign up for the Campaign Hub for resources from the Compliance and other teams at HQ. Note: You’ll need to use the email address your membership is registered to. | | | If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact the Compliance Team.
Best wishes, |  |
