Norfolk Tennis is the county governing body for tennis and padel in Norfolk and a volunteer-led Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Charity No. 1203480). We work in partnership with the Lawn Tennis Association to support clubs, venues, coaches and players across the county, helping more people enjoy the physical, social and community benefits of tennis and padel. Our work aligns with the LTA’s “Tennis Opened Up” strategy, which aims to make the sport accessible, welcoming and enjoyable for everyone. Norfolk Tennis is governed by a Board of Trustees supported by a volunteer Management Committee representing clubs, venues and key development areas across the county. As tennis and padel continue to grow, Norfolk Tennis is seeking individuals to join its Board of Trustees and contribute strategic leadership to the development of tennis and padel across the county.

About the Trustee Role

• Ensuring strong governance, accountability and compliance
• Providing independent professional expertise and oversight
• Acting in the best interests of the charity and its beneficiaries
• Helping ensure resources are used effectively to support tennis development

Trustees attend periodic Trustee meetings (typically online) and may attend Management Committee meetings where helpful to maintain alignment between governance and operational delivery.

We are particularly interested in individuals who can contribute leadership or professional expertise in the following areas.

Governance & Charity Law Trustee

Inclusion & Disability Trustee
Norfolk Tennis is committed to ensuring tennis and padel are open and accessible to all communities.

The Inclusion & Disability Trustee helps champion equality, diversity and accessibility across the county, supporting initiatives that widen participation and remove barriers to involvement.

The role includes:

• Supporting Norfolk Tennis in embedding Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) principles
• Championing inclusive participation for disabled players and under-represented groups
• Advising on inclusive programme development and community engagement

Experience in tennis is not essential.

We particularly welcome individuals with backgrounds in:

• finance, accounting or investment
• governance, compliance or safeguarding
• equality, diversity and inclusion

Hope and Homes for Children is looking for a confident, people-focused monday.com enthusiast to help our team work smarter, and help millions of separated children get Back to Family.
 
About the role
As our monday.com Training & Systems Volunteer, you'll help our Marketing, Communications and Fundraising team get the most from the project management platform at the heart of how we work. You'll assess current knowledge and confidence levels, then design and deliver practical, engaging training that builds real capability — from first-time users to those ready to go deeper. You'll also create simple, clear reference materials that people can return to independently, respond to ad hoc queries, and keep everything up to date as monday.com is implemented. By making technology feel approachable, you'll free up our team to focus on what matters most: helping millions of separated children get Back to Family.
 
About you
We're looking for a volunteer with confident, hands-on knowledge of monday.com (day-to-day use and administration experience are both welcome), alongside experience delivering training or coaching in a workplace setting, whether formal or informal. You'll be able to explain technical concepts clearly and patiently to people with varying levels of confidence, and you'll bring a warm, encouraging style to every interaction. You'll be self-motivated and comfortable working independently with light-touch coordination from the team. Familiarity with monday.com automations and integrations, or experience with charity or NGO operations, would be a bonus, but neither is essential. Most importantly, you'll share our belief that every child belongs in a family, and you'll be excited to play your part in making that happen.
 
About Hope and Homes for Children
Orphanages don't protect children, they harm them. Put simply: the last thing an orphanage can provide is the first thing a child needs - someone to love them. Science shows what we all know, that the bond between a child and their family is vital for their development. Decades of evidence proves that orphanages harm children, subjecting them to high levels of abuse and extreme neglect. Today, over 5.4 million children are confined to orphanages worldwide, and more than 80% of them are not orphans at all. Children always belong in families. They need protection, encouragement, play, laughter and love. They need somewhere to call home and someone to love them. You can help us make this a reality for children.
 
Time commitment: Flexible: estimated 3–4 days per month initially, reducing to ad hoc as staff become more confident. Minimum commitment of 6 months.
 
Location: Remote/hybrid - training delivered online via video call, with optional in-person sessions. Access to a PC/laptop and internet connection is required.
 
Expenses: Reasonable expenses reimbursed.
 
Closing Date: The final date for applications is 5pm on Wednesday 22nd July 2026.
 
Provisional date for interviews: Thursday 30th July 2026.
 
To apply, please upload your CV and a short covering letter telling us why you are interested in volunteering for Hope and Homes for Children and how your experience maps to the role. 
 
Please contact us directly if you have any questions.
 
Written references will be required as part of the selection process.
 
Hope and Homes for Children actively encourages diversity, equity and inclusion, and we look to recruit a diverse range of people to reflect the communities in which we live, as we believe this will strengthen our ability to deliver our mission of eliminating orphanages.

Join the Movement — Help Build MINDSET Charity from the Ground Up

Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. That’s why we’re building MINDSET Charity, a London‑based movement focused on boy's and men’s mental health and wellbeing through action‑based growth, not therapy and non clinical.

If you believe in purpose, progress and positive change — we want you. You’ll be part of a small, driven team helping us design programmes, build partnerships, and create a safe space where men and boys can grow through reflection, resilience and real‑world action.

This isn’t just volunteering — it’s joining a movement. A chance to help men take ownership of their wellbeing, find confidence, and become the best version of themselves.

We’re looking for:

• Creative thinkers and doers.

• People with lived experience or empathy for men’s mental health.

• Volunteers who want to help shape something meaningful from the ground up.

Together, we’ll build MINDSET Charity — one conversation, one action, one life at a time.

As Treasurer, you'll be the guardian of our wonderful theatre's finances. It'll be your job to keep the committee updated on the theatre's financial affairs. You'll have a full understanding of the Bookkeeper's role, and oversee their work - or, if you wish, you may volunteer for that role too (details available on request). As Treasurer, you'll prepare an annual budget for the theatre, then manage and track progress, producing quarterly reports on actual income and expenditure vs budget. You'll then produce annual accounts for presentation to the independent examiner, and the wider membership at the AGM. The role requires around 25 hours per month of your time, plus an additional commitment at year end. You'll join the board of trustees, which entails a DBS check, and you'll attend monthly committee meetings, in which you'll have the opportunity to contribute to the general running of the theatre.

Training

Over the course of several months, you'll receive a comprehensive handover from the existing Treasurer. At first, you'll shadow them to gain a full understanding of what's required, then they'll shadow you, offering as much support as you need until you're ready to take the reins.

Skills

You'll have a love of numbers (and spreadsheets!), a forensic attention to detail, and great organisational skills. You'll be good at presenting data to people who aren't as mathsy as you, and keen to join a team of friendly, passionate volunteers. This role will be a great fit for a trainee accountant looking for experience, a retiree with bookkeeping or accounting skills, or a self-proclaimed maths geek with time to spare, and a desire to be part of a wonderful community of people.
