Volunteer roles
How's your job search on our site?
Are you inspired by creativity and the power of stories? Do you want to shape the future of a nationally significant cultural charity? If so, you could become a trustee at the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre!
Why this role matters
Our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in ensuring the Museum fulfils its charitable purpose, uses resources wisely, and remains sustainable for future generations. Trustees provide strategic oversight, ensure good governance, and support the long-term vision of the organisation.
We are at the start of an exciting five-year transformation programme to strengthen our impact, grow visitor engagement, and deliver a major capital redevelopment project: “Unlocking Stories at the Roald Dahl Museum”. Trustees will play a pivotal role in guiding the Museum through this important period of change, growth, and opportunity.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking people who want to make a meaningful, strategic contribution and help shape the future direction of the Museum. Trustees work collaboratively to guide strategy, support ambitious plans, and ensure the organisation thrives creatively, financially, and operationally.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Human Resources – to shape our people strategy, leadership development, and organisational culture.
- Finance – to shape our financial strategy through a major capital project and to ensure the museum thrives long-term (ideally this trustee will be a qualified accountant).
- Fundraising – to grow income and support the delivery of our redevelopment and future sustainability.
- Partnerships – to encourage the development of strategic partnerships nationally and internationally.
You do not need previous trustee experience, nor do you need to have worked in a museum or cultural organisation. We welcome first-time trustees and are looking for people with good judgement, strategic thinking skills, and a collaborative approach. All reasonable expenses are covered.
Time commitment and terms
- Trustees typically contribute around one working day per month, including Board meetings and participation in at least one committee (Finance, Governance, Fundraising, or Capital Project Committee).
- Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term, with the possibility of reappointment for a second term.
- This is a voluntary, unpaid role, but all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed, including childcare.
Trustees receive a full induction, mentoring, and clear briefing materials, allowing them to focus on strategic oversight rather than operational detail. The Museum encourages and covers the cost of relevant training to support Trustees in their role
Serving as a trustee offers the opportunity to:
- Shape the future of a unique cultural institution with national significance.
- Contribute to an ambitious capital redevelopment and transformation programme.
- Apply your professional expertise in a high-impact, generative leadership role.
- Collaborate with motivated colleagues who share a passion for creativity, heritage, and learning.
Application timeline
- Application closing date = Noon, 20 April 2026
- Interviews at the Museum = 21 May 2026
- Board meeting observation for preferred candidates: Board meeting anticipated to be on 18 June 2026 at the Museum

About the Bevan Foundation
The Bevan Foundation is Wales's most influential think tank. We create insights, ideas and impact that help to end poverty and inequality.

We’ve built a reputation for trusted, evidence-based insights and ideas that influence decision-makers and improve lives.
About this role
We are looking for new trustees to join our board to fill vacancies.
This is an exciting opportunity to get involved with our high impact team. You’ll help the organisation to increase understanding of the challenges facing people in Wales, help to develop effective solutions and keep the charity on course.

We welcome applications from everyone, but would particularly like to hear from younger people, people from diverse ethnic backgrounds, and people in north and west Wales. We’d also welcome applications from people working in front-line roles with people on low-incomes.

Offline Women is a curated community for women dedicated to providing a space for real human connection away from screens. We started as a passion project in 2025 and we are now looking for a core team of volunteers to help us expand our reach and deepen our impact.
What will you be doing?
We are looking for a strategic Partnerships Lead to help Offline Women secure the resources and spaces we need to grow. As we transition from a local meetup to a global NGO, your role is to build the bridges that make our work sustainable.
Key priorities include:
- Securing Sponsorship: Identifying and reaching out to brands, foundations, and corporate partners who align with our mission of mental well-being and digital wellness to secure financial support or in-kind donations.
- Scouting "Third Spaces": Finding and vetting physical locations (such as quiet cafes, library reading rooms, and community centers) that can serve as the homes for our phone-free gatherings.
- Corporate Collaborations: Developing partnerships with organizations that want to support "Right to Disconnect" initiatives for their employees or customers.

What are we looking for?
We are looking for a proactive "connector" who is passionate about our mission to end digital loneliness. The ideal volunteer should be comfortable reaching out to new people and building professional relationships from scratch.
Key Skills and Experience:
- Partnership Building: Experience in sales, business development, or charity fundraising is highly valued. You should know how to pitch an idea and explain the "win-win" of a collaboration.
- Excellent Communication: You can write clear, persuasive emails and feel confident speaking with business owners or corporate social responsibility (CSR) managers.
- Organized and Resourceful: You are good at researching potential partners and keeping track of conversations and leads.
- Local Knowledge: An interest in London’s "hidden gems" and community spaces is a plus, as you will be scouting the best physical spots for our community to meet.

- Persistence: You are not discouraged by a "no" and are happy to keep searching for the right match for our community.
- Professionalism: You can represent Offline Women with warmth and clarity when dealing with external organizations.
What difference will you make?
This role is the engine of our growth. By securing funding and venues, you remove the two biggest barriers to our expansion. Your work ensures that we have the financial stability to launch new chapters and the physical spaces where women can escape digital noise. You are building the foundation that allows thousands of women to move from isolation into a tribe where they truly belong.
At St John Ambulance we are looking to embed ourselves within our communities, delivering support which is tailored to the needs of those communities whilst providing a positive experience for our Volunteers.

Through leading a team of Volunteer leaders, you will drive excellence in delivery, develop an inclusive and diverse volunteering experience for new and current volunteers, and help navigate through change to build a bigger and better St John Ambulance.
As a member of our network leadership team, you’ll get a huge sense of satisfaction and pride through supporting a team and our volunteers to deliver our essential services. It’s great for you, great for your community and great for our nation.

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is a survivor-led organisation building a platform for truth-telling, accountability, and community healing. Our work centres the voices of people who have been ignored, silenced, or left behind by existing systems.
We are developing a podcast and documentary storytelling platform that seeks to give space to real human experiences — particularly stories connected to childhood trauma, survival, resilience, and social neglect.
We are seeking a Volunteer Documentary Videographer to accompany the founder one Saturday per month in and around London to record conversations with members of the public — particularly those who are homeless or facing hardship — who wish to share their stories.
This is not a conventional videography role.
This is ethical storytelling and community witnessing.

These stories will contribute to:
• The organisation’s podcast
• Documentary storytelling projects
• Survivor awareness work
• Educational and advocacy media
Your role is to capture these stories sensitively, respectfully, and responsibly, ensuring participants are treated with dignity and consent.
This is not sensationalist media.
This is truth-telling and human storytelling.
Key Responsibilities
- Accompany the founder on one Saturday per month across London to record interviews and conversations.
- Film interviews with members of the public who choose to share their stories.
- Capture high-quality audio and video suitable for podcast and documentary use.

• Mirrorless camera or equivalent capable of recording high-quality video
• Wireless lavalier microphone system (two microphones preferred)
• Lightweight tripod or stabiliser
• Basic portable lighting (optional)
• Spare batteries and memory cards
Equivalent setups, including high-quality smartphone filming with professional microphones, will also be considered.
Formal qualifications are not required. Equivalent experience or demonstrable ability is acceptable.
What This Role Offers You
A founding role in a mission-driven documentary storytelling project.
Real-world experience filming human stories and social realities.
Opportunities to contribute to:
• Podcast production
• Documentary storytelling
• Social impact media
• National and international travel
• knowledge and understanding about the realities of our societies
Experience working within a survivor-led organisation.
Creative collaboration with writers, editors, and podcast producers.
Credit on published podcast/YouTube and documentary content.
Priority consideration for future paid roles as the C.I.C. becomes financially sustainable.
A chance to help bring unheard voices into public conversation.
What This Role Is Not For
People looking for a quick portfolio project.
Those uncomfortable speaking with vulnerable individuals.
Anyone seeking sensational or exploitative content.
People unwilling to commit to the organisation’s ethical storytelling approach.
Those seeking immediate paid work.
Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. exists to create spaces where people can finally speak the truth about what they have lived through.
The stories we capture will not always be easy to hear — but they are necessary.
