This role will be supporting two lovely gentlemen living in Twickenham who would love a visitor to spend some time with them. They both enjoy exploring their local high street charity shops and going for a drink and a sausage roll in Greggs. When at home, one man enjoys relaxing in front of the telly and the other enjoys listening to his record and cassette collection.
Living in the same home, we’d ideally like one volunteer to visit both gentlemen. For one of the men, their speech might take some patience to understand, and the other prefers to communicate with gestures and pictures, so a friendly and understanding approach is key. It would be up to you whether you do both visits on the same day or on alternate months.
Access to a car would be a great addition but is not essential for this role as the house is very near to both bus and train routes.
We offer a lifelong befriending service for adults with learning disabilities. Matching the skills and interests of passionate visitors with the specific hobbies and interests of the people we visit. Visitors visit six times a year to create a 1-2-1 connection, offer companionship, encourage people to do the things they enjoy and check-in on their wellbeing. In many cases, the visitor is the only person in someone’s life who isn’t paid to be there for them.

Apart of Me is looking for a treasurer to join our board, and help ensure sound financial governance. Whilst the day to day finances are carried out by employees, you will help to set the financial strategy, and guide the trustees on financial considerations.
Apart of Me is a UK-registered charity dedicated to ensuring that no young person faces grief alone. The organisation creates safe, compassionate spaces — both online and in schools — where young people can process loss, build resilience, and support one another. It addresses the critical need for accessible, youth-focused mental health support following bereavement.
The charity’s work is centred around three key strands: the Apart of Me game, a schools programme, and a new interactive online resource.
Apart of Me is seeking a finance professional (retired or employed) to join its engaged and friendly Board as Treasurer, with specific oversight of the charity’s financial management. While day-to-day financial administration is handled by staff, the Treasurer works closely with both the team and the Board to ensure sound financial governance. The role involves providing financial leadership, helping trustees understand the organisation’s finances, and ensuring compliance with financial and statutory obligations.
The ideal candidate will hold a qualification in Financial Management, Accounting, or Audit, with a strong understanding of financial management in either the voluntary or business sectors. Previous charity experience is not essential, though willingness to undertake training (typically one day) is required.
The Treasurer should be able to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues and trustees, think strategically, and balance financial oversight with wider trustee responsibilities.
The Board meets once a month (virtually or in person) for approximately 90 minutes, with two strategy days held annually. The Treasurer will also meet with the CEO and Finance Manager monthly and be available for occasional ad hoc emails or advice. Trustees are usually appointed for a three-year term, with the possibility of extension.
Training in charity finance will be provided if required. The role requires a commitment to the charity’s values, aims, and objectives, and a strong desire to support children and young people who have experienced grief.
