Pushpa

Pushpa is a diaspora fund that mobilises monthly contributions from people with Bangladeshi roots to collectively vote on and fund sustainable development projects back home.

We address poverty and climate vulnerability in Bangladesh, where communities face frequent natural disasters, limited economic opportunities, and lack of access to sustainable livelihoods. Our projects focus on empowering underserved populations - particularly women, marginalised and rural communities by creating a route to financial independence and building resilience against environmental challenges.

We operate as a diaspora fund that connects people with Bangladeshi roots to meaningful impact back home. Our community contributes monthly to a collective fund, then votes democratically on which locally-led projects to support in Bangladesh. We prioritise transparency through public financial tracking and focus on sustainable, long-term solutions over traditional charity models. By funding grassroots initiatives in areas like agriculture, women's empowerment, and climate resilience, we create economic opportunities that help communities become self-sufficient rather than dependent on aid.

We're building something the South Asian diaspora has never seen before - a fund that actually works how it should. Most diaspora giving is broken with money disappearing and communities staying dependent, but we're fixing that through full transparency, democratic voting, and focusing on economic independence over charity handouts. This is just the beginning - by 2030 we're building a holding company that creates new businesses furthering development for both Bangladesh and diaspora communities, turning funding into sustainable enterprise. We need people who can help us scale without losing what makes us different - community building, content that doesn't sound like every other charity, operations that keep us transparent, partnerships that make sense. The diaspora has money, skills, and connections, and we're proving it can create real change when done right.

Ready to help build it?

Come lead our Board and play a crucial role in supporting improvement in safe prescribing worldwide...

Applications close: 9 a.m. Monday 28th July 2025

Location: Virtual, with occasional in-person meetings in London

Time commitment: Quarterly board meetings plus preparation and occasional correspondence

About us

BPS Assessment Ltd (BPSA) is the learning and assessment arm of the British Pharmacological Society. Our mission is to improve prescribing skills among medical and non-medical prescribers around the world, supporting better decision-making and enhancing patient safety. Established in 2017, we partner globally with universities, regulators and training bodies to create tailored online learning and assessment solutions. Our flagship product, the Prescribing Skills Assessment, is increasingly recognised as the international standard in prescribing education.

Through our case-based eLearning and interactive online assessments, we help prescribers learn and practise in a safe environment, offering flexible, accessible solutions that fit a range of global curricula. We are proud of the contribution BPSA is making to patient safety worldwide.

The role

We now seek a new Chair to lead the BPSA Board in collaboration with the Managing Director, BPSA team and other Non-Executive Directors. As Chair, you will play a key role in shaping the development of our commercial strategy and ensuring our work remains aligned with our mission to improve prescribing practice. You will guide the BPSA’s growth by supporting the sales and development of new products and services, including online assessment and eLearning, and contribute to the development of new markets. You will provide insight and direction on strategic ventures, commercial partnerships, and decision-making, while fostering a collaborative environment that builds consensus and ensures all voices around the table contribute to shaping the organisation’s success.

Board meetings take place quarterly (virtually or occasionally in person in London), although there will undoubtedly be additional engagement touchpoints. Thus, more broadly, we would expect your commitment to be somewhere between half to a full day per month, on average, to deliver successfully in this key role.

What we seek

We are looking for a strategic and facilitative Chair with experience at Board level, ideally including prior Chairing responsibilities. You will bring a strong understanding of governance, strategic planning, and organisational leadership, along with an ability to foster constructive dialogue and help guide impactful decisions.

Integrity, commitment, and a willingness to dedicate the necessary time and effort are essential qualities. We are particularly interested in those with expertise in healthcare or medical sciences, especially in areas such as prescribing, medical education, or assessment. Experience of working with or within the subsidiary companies of charities, as well as supporting commercial growth and international market development, would also be highly valued.

We seek passionate individuals who share our commitment to patient safety and inclusive leadership. We believe that wider society is better equipped to meet health and social challenges when a broad mix of people is involved in decision-making.

We welcome applications from individuals whose lived experiences and perspectives are underrepresented in our governance structures. We are committed to reflecting the diversity of the communities we serve. If you do not meet every criterion but believe you could excel in the role, we encourage you to apply.

Arts at Home brings conversations about art to people as a tool to tackle loneliness and isolation. Volunteers choose artworks in advance of each session to present to the residents, and though a small amount of preparation is required, prior knowledge of art history is not. Instead, the sessions are participatory and informal, with a focus on communication and connection. Often an artwork will spark conversation about something else entirely, with residents and volunteers reminiscing about past experiences, sharing stories and finding common ground! 

Do you have skills in social media, comms and marketing, or digital and graphic design you want to put to use for a great cause?
