A creative thinker who sees beyond traditional event formats.
-
Strong organisational and planning skills.

Sembeza Africa
Sembeza Africa provides Quality Physical Education (QPE) programs that empower youth and communities in Uganda, integrating sports with education, gender equality, and environmental sustainability.
Uganda’s youth face significant barriers, including limited access to quality education, early pregnancies, and a lack of inclusive opportunities for physical and personal development. With over 75% of the population under the age of 30, Uganda needs initiatives that address these challenges holistically. Physical education in many schools remains underdeveloped, leaving children without the critical skills for leadership, teamwork, and resilience. Furthermore, environmental degradation threatens the communities we serve, and gender inequality continues to limit opportunities for girls to participate in sports and education.
Sembeza Africa focuses on delivering Quality Physical Education (QPE) programs that promote physical activity as a foundation for learning and life skills. By integrating sports into education, we empower youth to build confidence, develop leadership abilities, and foster inclusivity. Our programs also incorporate elements of Traditional African Sports and Games (TASG) to preserve cultural heritage while making physical education more engaging. Through structured QPE initiatives, we address critical issues such as gender equality, environmental stewardship, and access to education, aligning our work with Uganda’s national development priorities and the UN Sustainable Development Goals.

InStudents
InStudents is building a global, student-led movement to close the education and employability gap for young people in underserved regions. Across rural and low-income areas, students often lack access to quality career guidance, practical learning, and opportunities to connect with employers. Traditional, top-down aid models frequently fail because they overlook local context and community ownership. InStudents flips this model by empowering local student leaders to design and deliver free, career-focused education that meets the specific needs of their peers.
Through its Equal Opportunities Project (EQOP), students in underserved regions access co-created courses via accessible platforms like WhatsApp, designed in partnership with UK universities and global companies. Meanwhile, the Impact Champions Project builds a global network of student societies tackling local education challenges, creating a model that is both locally led and globally connected. By combining technology, collaboration, and youth empowerment, InStudents is redefining educational equity—ensuring that a student’s potential is determined by ambition, not background.

Do you have a great idea to benefit people living with MS? At the MS Society, we campaign on a range of issues like welfare, treatments, care and support that people with MS need. We want to do more locally and want to support your ideas on making change happen. Together we can do more.
Perhaps you’ve spotted there are no blue badge spaces at your local supermarket? Or maybe your neighbourhood has no kerbs easy for wheelchairs to use? In this volunteer role, you’ll help drive change for people with MS in your community and develop your networking and influencing skills along the way.
As a campaigner you’ll bring your own ideas, local knowledge and personal experience to your campaigns. You’ll make decisions about your own campaign activities and collaborate with other campaigners in your area.
This role is flexible and aims to fit around you. Time commitments for this role may vary depending on your activities and the campaigning you’d like to do. This is an ongoing role.

Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
Our centres and branches take excellent care of cats and kittens that need help, but life in a rescue environment is not ideal for any cat compared to a loving home. Until we can find them that loving home our cat care volunteers are a passionate, committed team, helping to give cats and kittens the best possible care. Cat care volunteers spend time directly with cats, cleaning their pens, feeding, grooming and enriching their play time.
You will volunteer with others in this role and be part of a multi-pen site or centre team. If you think this is something you would like to do in your own home, please search and apply for the ‘Fosterer volunteer’ role on our website.
You can expect us to
· Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
· Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
· Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
· Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
What we need from you
You’ll be:
· Cleaning the living environments of the cats in care
· Grooming cats and helping with feeding
· Enriching each cat’s experience in care through play, exercise and handling
Time expectation
Cat care volunteers usually spend 2 to 3 hours a week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats
