About nurtureuk
At nurtureuk, we believe that every child and young person deserves to feel safe, understood and supported to flourish at school, emotionally, socially, and academically. But for many, school can be a difficult place, especially for those who’ve experienced trauma, adversity or unmet emotional needs.
For over 50 years, we’ve been pioneers in nurturing approaches to support social emotional development, using a tried-and-tested framework that helps children and young people build the confidence, resilience, and sense of belonging they need to succeed in education and in life.
Our work transforms school environments so that they are truly inclusive, supportive and safe spaces. We train teachers and school leaders, and deliver evidence-based programmes that strengthen wellbeing across whole school communities, as well as improving attendance and reducing exclusions- because the children enjoy being in school!
At the core of our work is the Boxall Profile®, our unique, award winning and Department for Education recommended assessment tool. It helps teachers understand what lies behind a child’s behaviour; the hidden emotional needs, the gaps in development, the things a test score could never show. By shining a light on what each child needs to feel secure, the Boxall Profile empowers educators to respond with empathy, not punishment, and to nurture every child’s potential.
Behind every report and dataset is a story:
A child who finally feels safe and excited to walk into class.
A teacher who sees progress and growth where there used to be only frustration.
A family who begins to believe that things can get better.
By joining us as a Volunteer Grant Support Officer, you’ll be helping make these stories possible, securing the funds that enable us to reach more schools, support more teachers, and change more children’s lives.
See our attached evidence brochure to learn more about the impact our work has.

Helping to build a library of core fundraising materials and case studies
-

An excellent writer who enjoys crafting persuasive and engaging text, ideally with previous experience of writing successful grant or funding applications

The Board of Trustees exists to inspire and guide both the Executive Leadership and the Senior Leadership Team through the application of Choose Love's vision, mission, and core principles, providing inclusive leadership. The Board Governance ensures that each trustee fulfils their duties and responsibilities for effective charity governance, whilst supporting and, where appropriate, challenging the Chief Executive and Deputy Chief Executive.

This role will involve reading and reflecting on reports and proposals in advance, giving thoughtful feedback, and being available for consultation as required.
Being a trustee at Choose Love is a dynamic commitment that extends beyond the boardroom. We are seeking individuals who will play an active role in shaping our vision, supporting our team, and ensuring the charity remains resilient and responsive to the needs of the communities we serve.

Impact of Role
1. Fuelling the Mission
- Every event organised and every pound raised goes directly towards programmes that protect and empower vulnerable children and women.
- Volunteers help generate the funds that allow Emerge Worldwide to deliver training in schools, create resources, and support awareness campaigns.
2. Expanding Reach & Awareness
- Events are not just about money — they also raise the charity’s visibility and influence.
- By helping to plan and run events, volunteers spread the message of exploitation prevention to a wider audience, attracting new supporters and partners.
3. Building Community & Partnerships
- Volunteers help bring people together through fundraising dinners, charity runs, community fairs, and awareness campaigns.
- These events build a sense of shared purpose and create lasting relationships with donors, schools, businesses, and local communities.
4. Creating Memorable Experiences
- With creativity and enthusiasm, volunteers help design fun, inspiring, and impactful events that engage people’s hearts.
- These experiences encourage people to give generously and stay connected to the cause long-term.
5. Sustaining the Charity’s Growth
- By contributing to fundraising targets, volunteers ensure Emerge Worldwide can expand its projects, train more schools, produce more resources, and campaign for systemic change.
- This means their behind-the-scenes efforts translate into life-changing impact for survivors and prevention for those at risk.
