Are you passionate about communities and the voluntary sector? Do you want to use your skills, experience or lived insight to help strengthen and support Hampshire’s VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprise) sector? If so, we’d love to hear from you.
Action Hampshire is currently recruiting new trustees to join our engaged and committed Board. This is an exciting opportunity to help guide the strategic direction of a well-respected organisation that works at the heart of community support across Hampshire.

You don’t need to know everything from day one—we’ll support you with an induction, ongoing learning, and a friendly, collaborative Board environment.

- A willingness to devote the necessary time and effort planning how the charity will deliver its charitable purpose
- Good, independent judgement
- An ability to think creatively
- A willingness to speak your mind, but listen to the views of others

Parents Journey UK
After seeing a gap in support for parents of children of “all ages, all stages” of childhood, we are developing a group to become a Registered Charity, Parents Journey UK.
Parenting is rewarding but doesn’t get easier: the challenges just change.
So why should parental support from groups and charities stop once your child has entered school, or enters their teenage years?
While many organisations focus on the earliest stages of parenthood, Parents Journey UK aims to also support parents well beyond those toddler years, whether that be coffee mornings for new parents or social evenings for parents of teenagers. We aim to provide ongoing support through a variety of face-to-face meets and online, with the support of local professionals.
To develop our idea further and start the formal process of Registering a Charity, we are looking for volunteers to become our first trustees.
If you have interest, experience or skills in any of the following, we want to talk with you; and if you don’t have much experience but enthusiasm about this idea, we really want to talk with you:
- Leading our group’s meetings and ensuring they are effective; coordinating the trustees’ group – you could be the Chair of our new charity.
- Coordinating our group’s money, keeping records of finances; ensuring the group complies with our financial rules – you could be the Treasurer of our new charity.
- Keeping accurate administrative records; communicating with other trustees; acting as the backbone of our group – you could be the Secretary of our new charity.
You don’t necessarily need to have done any of these voluntary roles before, as the tasks are easy-enough to learn, and in the early days of forming our charity, will be focused on Registration (and we have assistance with that process). At the same time, as trustees you will be primary in deciding and forming what this new charity does and how it does that. Because of the legal type of charity we are forming, you will not be held liable for the charity’s finances, but expected to take good care of those and of the charity’s activities; training and explanations of trustees’ duties will be provided.
Your skills & abilities that will help us:
- A strong commitment to Parents Journey UK idea, mission and values
- Good communication and teamwork
- Contribution to our strategic thinking and decision-making
- Some knowledge and abilities in social media and marketing would be helpful
- Your background in Finance, Administration, Legal, Safeguarding, or Health and Social Care, would be very useful; of course, experience in other areas is just as valued
- Previous experience as a charity trustee would be highly-valued but isn’t required
- Your willingness to give time to the charity’s activities, probably about a flexible 10 hours per month
What’s in it for you?
- The chance to use your skills in a potentially-different context
- The opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of parents
- The ability to gain experience into the creation of a charity, and insight into its governance
- An opportunity to volunteer alongside other committed trustees
- A boost to your personal and professional development, including your career and CV, if appropriate
For an informal chat and to find out more about these opportunities and our idea, contact Hayleigh Woolven via Quick Apply below
To apply, we ask for your CV and a brief Cover Letter explaining WHY you’re interested and WHAT you can bring to our newly-developing group.
Raising Futures Kenya is looking for an enthusiastic, committed Trustee, with a passion for supporting our small but mighty international NGO through a journey of shifting power to our partner NGO. We are particularly looking for individuals with experience in fundraising in the international development sector, and a strong understanding of the international fundraising landscape.
Responsible to: Chair, Raising Futures Kenya
Purpose: To guide and advise on the international fundraising landscape, and shifting the power (including fundraising) to our Kenyan partners.
Hours: Approximately 6-8 hours a month.
Salary: This is a voluntary role.
We currently have seven Trustees across the UK, USA and Kenya and three paid, part-time staff. Board meetings are every 6-8 weeks in the evening via Google Meet.
About Raising Futures Kenya
For 22 years, Raising Futures Kenya (England & Wales charity no.1181670) has worked alongside local people, and our partner NGO, in Kenya to develop projects which are owned by the community and create long-term, sustainable change to reduce poverty and improve livelihoods.
Through our Seed of Hope training and support programme we enable 14-25 year olds (75% girls) to secure employment or start a small business, generating enough income to live above the poverty line. We provide free technical vocational and business skills training, alongside mental health and wellbeing support which has led to over 90% of graduates being in employment, self-employment or further education. Seed of Hope offers young people opportunity, dignity and hope.
All training is combined with 3 key elements of support which makes our project unique and more successful than vocational training alone.
1. Daily life skills and mental health wellbeing curriculum which includes topics on common mental health issues to challenge stigma and signpost students to the free counselling sessions we offer, gender equality, knowing and asserting your rights, family planning, health, hygiene and nutrition.
2. Practical help is provided to ensure we remove any barriers young people may face in gaining an education and attending lessons, such as; free cooked lunches, support with travel costs, childcare vouchers for young mothers and free menstrual hygiene packs.
3. Graduate support helps young people set up their own business and generate a sustainable income. This includes tailored business and financial literacy training, access to the Seed of Hope Business Hub providing computers, tools, and materials for graduates to use to launch their business, plus an ongoing peer mentoring scheme from former successful Seed of Hope graduates.
If students are traumatised, hungry or can’t afford sanitary products, they won’t be in a position to learn. We treat every student as an individual and personalise our support to their specific needs and circumstances to set every student up for success. We know this holistic approach is more successful than vocational training alone, and has the most meaningful impact for young people.
Achievements
Some of our achievements include:
-
Over 3,100 young people in Kenya have received free skills training.
-
Since 2021 we now support more young people in a year than our first 15 years combined.

-
Received multi-year funding from the Department for International Development (now FCDO) and other reputable grant givers, including a US funder who has granted us $100,000USD a year to go directly to our Kenyan partner as part of our journey to shift power to our partner.
-
Awarded the ‘Small Charity, Big Impact’ award by the Foundation of Social Improvement 2019 for achieving disproportionate impact to our size.
