Community Change Administration Volunteer Roles in Greater London
It’s an exciting time for the Employers' Initiative on Domestic Abuse: momentum is growing, with heightened public awareness of domestic abuse following the pandemic, increased government focus, and employers increasingly recognising their crucial role in enabling employees to recognise the signs of, and seek support on, domestic abuse.
The Employers’ Initiative on Domestic Abuse (known as EIDA) is committed to equality, diversity and inclusion in our mission to empower employers to act effectively against domestic abuse.
Our aim is to ensure that all team members, volunteers, trustees, job applicants and the people we come into contact with are given equal opportunity and that our organisation is representative of all sections of society.
We want our board to be representative of our society and membership and particularly welcome applications from people with lived experiences of domestic abuse, people based outside the southeast of England and in the nations of Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland and from people with experience as a people manager or employer, large or small.
Who we are
We are a free-to-join members' network of employers and a registered charity supporting over 1,500 large and small employers to take effective action on domestic abuse. Our members collectively employ over 25% of the UK workforce.
Our mission is to equip employers to support their employees affected by domestic abuse and to share best practice with other employers.
We endeavour to bring about constructive change, leading to a society where survivors thrive, and where domestic abuse is not tolerated.
Our Trustees are volunteer board members who play a vital role in making sure that EIDA achieves its mission. As a group, they:
- Oversee the overall management and administration of the charity.
- Ensure that EIDA has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision.
- Provide support and challenge to the executive team, enabling EIDA to grow and thrive.
We are seeking up to four new Trustees to join the existing group of eight.
EIDA has a UK-wide remit with a membership made up of employers, and we want to reflect that across our Trustees.
Trustee duties
Trustees are the people who lead our charity and decide how it is run. We envisage the trustee duties broadly as:
- Support and provide advice on EIDA’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Attend Board meetings, adequately prepared to contribute to discussions.
- Approve operational strategies and policies and monitor and evaluate their implementation.
- Oversee EIDA’s financial plans and budgets and monitor and evaluate progress.
- Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the organisation.
- Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Review and approve EIDA’s financial statements.
- Provide support and challenge to EIDA’s CEO.
- Keep abreast of changes in EIDA’s operating environment.
- Use independent judgment, acting legally and in good faith to promote and protect EIDA’s interests, to the exclusion of their own personal and/or any third-party interests.
- Participate in periodic appraisals of the performance of the Board of Trustees, collectively and individually.
- Represent EIDA at external functions, meetings and events.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will contribute to the diversity of thinking on our board.
Whether you are an experienced trustee or are looking to take your first step at board level, we would like to hear from you. We ask for:
- Commitment to tackling domestic abuse and EIDA’s mission.
- Willingness and ability to understand and accept their responsibilities and liabilities as trustees and to act in the best interests of the organisation.
- Ability to think creatively and strategically, exercise good, independent judgement.
- Effective communication skills and willingness to participate actively in discussions.
- A strong commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion and EIDA’s core values of Collaboration, Empowerment, Versatility, Openness and Kindness.
- Time to commit to supporting the organisation, including attendance at Board meetings (2 hours, 5 times annually), virtual and in-person events (4-6 annually) and any sub committees.
- Ability to build and maintain a healthy network that promotes the aims of EIDA across the business community, to drive member growth, and to enhance EIDA fundraising activities.
- Some experience as an employer or people manager.

This is an exciting time for The Wye Catchment Partnership as we seek to appoint an experienced, committed and passionate chairperson to drive forward improvements across key issues on water quality, wildlife and sustainable land use in the River Wye Catchment. We will achieve this by collaborative working framed by a new Catchment Based Approach Plan.
The time commitment is for 1 to 2 days per month
Deadline for applications – noon 17th June 2024
Role Description
1.0 Introduction
The Wye Catchment Partnership (WCP) recognises the importance and value of an independent Chairperson for its quarterly meetings and to attend the WCP Steering Group meetings.
We’re seeking a person who’ll be motivated to maximise the potential of the whole WCP community, to strengthen its voice and activities for the benefit of the river Wye, and the whole catchment.
We believe this role will be ideal for someone who has worked in large or complex professional environments or academia but now wants to provide volunteer work that will benefit the environment and the community.
WCP meets quarterly at venues generally on the Wales England border. The Chair is also invited to attend Steering group meetings held quarterly via Teams between WCP meetings.
This role is unremunerated except for travel expenses.
2.0 Background
The Wye Catchment Partnership is not an executive body or legal entity. It is established to convene collaborative working to deliver a Catchment Based Approach (CaBA) that drives improvements across key issues on water quality, wildlife, and sustainable land use along the length of the River Wye and the breadth of its catchment.
Dealing with these issues in an environment of rapid political, social, technological, ecological and climate change brings added levels of complexity.
The Partnership is currently supported by 70 organisations as well as individuals and has a mailing list of around 170 contacts.
For more background see our website – www.wyecatchmentpartnership.org and how to join/Information sheet and list of partners in the Documentation tab.
3.0 Governance – Process for recruitment
The WCP Chair recruitment and selection process is outlined below. Initially for a period of 12 months and thereafter on an annual agreement of the WCP. The target start date is July 2024.
The Terms of Reference 2024 (Page 5 Item 4.5) outline the role of ‘Chairing of meetings’
4.0 Role Requirements
4.1 Chair quarterly Partnership meetings – These are usually held mid-week at a venue close to the Welsh Borders and the River Wye, for example at Hay on Wye, attended by up to 50 people and typically run from 9.30-2.30pm
In-person travel expenses are provided at 45p per mile.
4.2 Preparation of the Partnership meeting agenda and planning for the day, ahead of meetings with the Vice Chair and the administrator from the Wye Catchment Partnership as required
4.3 Attend Partnership meetings requiring 1 day of your time 4 x per year.
4.4 Attend the 4 x WCP Steering Group meetings (for continuity with Chair role) – these are held online 3-4 weeks after the Partnership meetings and take 1.5 hours.
In total this role may involve a time commitment of 1-2 days per month, focused on the Partnership meetings.
5.0 Areas of responsibility
- Working in partnership and collaboration with members of the WCP
- Fostering an environment for the WCP to co-operate in a spirit of reciprocal partnership, trust and respect to support the fulfilment of WCP mission and purpose and the delivery of the agreed Catchment Plan.
- Overseeing the consideration of matters of key interest to the WCP network and providing advice and perspective to the WCP.
- Ensuring, with the Steering Group, sound financial oversight including review of the annual budget.
- Safeguarding the reputation and values of WCP in your communications.
Occasionally representing WCP at meetings and functions and acting as a champion and spokesperson.
6.0 The Candidate
To enjoy, and be successful in this role, the skills and experience you need are:
- The ability to chair large meetings efficiently and effectively. You will have been used to working at this level but now see an opportunity to Chair a group that cares passionately about the environment within the Wye Catchment.
- Excellent communication skills, including tact and diplomacy.
- An impartial and objective approach.
- Facilitation skills are likely to be required at times including the ability to guide discussions without dominating and to blend differing views to achieve consensus.
- Emotional intelligence to read people and manage constructive challenge
- An ability to network and build relationships at all levels across the WCP network.
- A commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion and its importance both within WCP and in the countryside.
- An understanding and passion for the Wye Catchment and appreciation of what it means to those who live in it and those who depend on it.
- Background knowledge of English and Welsh government and policies would be an advantage
7.0 WCP – our commitment to equality, diversity, and inclusion
At WCP we believe it is our responsibility to strive for a society where all of us can be ourselves and feel able to reach our full potential, whatever our identity and background.
We’ll ensure that our partnership and all we do is open to everyone and that we actively address any barriers to participation by any group.
Our case for the Wye Catchment depends upon having the broadest and most diverse and inclusive public support possible, because the catchment will benefit from the engagement and attention of people from all backgrounds.
We value everyone who volunteers their support for the WCP. This means listening to and understanding people’s views, creating an environment where everyone is treated with respect and able to contribute fully. It also means making sure everyone feels included and valued for their talent, knowledge, and experience.

Can you spare a few hours a month to support STAMP Revisited, a local mental health charity?
We are, a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), which has provided advocacy services for the people of Teesside for almost 30 years, and we are currently looking for new Trustees to join our Board.
Our advocates provide advocacy to adults who are experiencing mental health difficulties that impact on their ability to make their voice heard and are unable to independently navigate personal issues such as aspects of their health, finances, or housing needs.
Trustees are essential to the success of a charity, and the Board is the charity’s governing body. Trustees are responsible for ensuring the charity meets its objectives and are responsible for its general administration and control of the charity.
If you are interested in finding out more about being a Trustee and sitting on our Board, we would love to hear from you. Our Board welcomes people from diverse backgrounds, aged 18 or over with a wide range of skills. We are keen to welcome people who have personal experience of mental health challenges, including service users and carers.

There are nine main elements to the role:
1. As each minister e-mails for an appointment, e-mail them back with a suggested time for an appointment. Keep a note of the time offered, to ensure not to offer that time to anyone else, unless it is not accepted. If a Panel is full, offer a date for a later panel. Attach the appropriate background information form and ask them to fill it in and return it, sending a copy to their District Chair, Circuit Superintendent, and the Warden of the MDO, as appropriate.
2. About ten days before each panel meeting write to the District Chairs and the Circuit Superintendents of those coming to request any information from them helpful to the panel. Write also, where relevant, to the Warden of the MDO. Send out the timetable for the day to panel members, including the Zoom link. Email each minister coming to the panel reminding them of the time and date, also including the Zoom link, and telling them the names of panel members as they have the right to object to any members being present.
3. A few days before the panel, send the forms and comments received to the Panel members.
4. Be a member of the Panel.
5. Following the Panel, receive the notes taken by the designated note-taker for proof reading and possible editing, add the relevant top (name, Circuit, year of travel, panel members, date of panel) and bottom (permission recommended). Send the reports to the Panel members for their comments. Once they have been agreed, send them to the minister, and copy them to the District Chair and, where relevant, the Superintendent and the Warden of the MDO. Send all of the reports to the Panel Chair and to the designated administrator at Methodist Church House, for them to store centrally. Keep an electronic copy of the report in a file. The administrator will update the Table of Permissions.
6. In June, send the Table of Permissions to the District Chairs and the Warden of the MDO, asking them to check for any inaccuracies, and ask the administrator to update the table as necessary. Also send a request asking District Chairs to encourage suitable people to consider being Panel members, including a role description and an application form. Take up references as necessary, and arrange an interview with the applicant and the Chair of the Stationing Advisory Committee.
7. In July, agree dates for the following Connexional Year with the Chair of the Stationing Advisory Committee. Write to all panel members asking if they are still willing to serve and for their available dates for the next year. Draw up a rota and send it to the Panel members.
8. Be a member of the Stationing Advisory Committee.
9. Prepare a brief summary of each report for the Stationing Advisory Committee meetings and present it to the Committee. Liaise with the designated administrator over the distribution of papers to the Committee members.

As a Trustee, the new Chair must have a commitment to equality; celebrate diversity and be responsive to the needs of different groups and individuals within GSTTKPA and the wider community. In return, the successful applicant will join a warm and friendly team that works collaboratively to support each other as well as our kidney patients.

While they are seeking someone with knowledge of UK charity finance and legal requirements, they are particularly interested to hear from candidates from the Global South, wherever their current location.

The Treasurer role will require approximately 10-12 days per annum, including three Board meetings, two of which are usually virtual, and occasional virtual meetings with the Executive Director, Finance Manager, and Auditor. In addition, the Treasurer will chair the Finance and Audit sub-committee.
