Hear from some of our existing Lead Volunteers…
Stuart, Lead Volunteer at our North Shields Mind Shop
Why did you want to become a Lead Volunteer?
I chose to volunteer at Mind, specifically because of the cause – I support the charity in what they want to achieve. Mind also supported me through the lockdown period during the pandemic, which I found very isolating.
I’ve volunteered for Mind for 20 years - I started volunteering for Mind in 2005. At the time, I had a full-time job, but I wanted to try volunteering. I’ve volunteered in a number of Mind shops, including Wallsend, Whitley Bay, Gateshead (which was where I became a Lead Volunteer) and finally, North Shields.
I wanted to become a Lead Volunteer to gain more experience, which I can then pass onto others. I now undertake key holder duties in my current shop. It was a little scary to begin with, but there was plenty of support from the wider region and I feel really proud to now be doing the role.
What knowledge and skills have you gained or developed whilst being in the Lead Volunteer role?
I’ve developed my technology skills – I’ve learnt how to use the till, how to use the computer including emails and Microsoft Teams, how to complete eLearning and the new Gift Aid hub. I struggled a bit before with technology, so it’s really helped me to be exposed to it more. I’ve also developed cash handling skills and how to deal with external contractors. My confidence has really grown and I’m also now able to cover local stores too!
What do you enjoy most about being a Lead Volunteer?
I really enjoy giving amazing customer service and working with the team of staff and volunteers – we have lots of fun whilst we work! The shop has a great atmosphere. My Shop Manager has said she couldn’t do without me! I would really recommend for anyone to come and volunteer with Mind – it’s a great way to meet new people.
Lead Volunteer at our Turnham Green Mind Shop
Why did you want to become a Lead Volunteer?
I wanted to become a Lead Volunteer because I wanted to take on more responsibilities and keep myself as productive as possible. By taking on more responsibilities, I’m able to support the wider team with certain activities within the shop. It’s also helped me become less focused on my myself and my own problems. I suffer from low self-esteem and felt that by becoming a Lead Volunteer, it would help strengthen my self-worth.
What knowledge and skills have you gained or developed whilst being in the Lead Volunteer role?
As I have never worked in retail, becoming a Lead Volunteer has given me more insight into how the retail industry and how Mind Retail operates day-to-day. I have become more patient and not as isolated as before. My communication skills have improved too.
What do you enjoy most about being a Lead Volunteer?
Certain customers are confiding in me about their mental health. I find it great to be able to assist and provide some support. We all just need an ear to listen…
It’s also great to be able to make decisions too. The team I work with at the shop are very supportive and understanding – they look after me and I feel like a belong to a small family. The team really understand that our shops are not just shops! They’re a place where everyone, including those with mental health problems, can feel safe and listened
Mind Retail are a network of over 170 Mind charity shops across England and Wales.

Volunteer Chief Executive
Lead Urban Youth from vision to reality—and help build a movement that brings young people back to life.
Urban Youth is a brand new youth work charity with a bold mission: to help young people step away from digital isolation and rediscover real‑world connection, confidence, and possibility.
We’re creating a charity where young people can:
-
Meet face‑to‑face and form real friendships.
-
Build life skills that prepare them for adulthood.
-
Discover their strengths, passions, and the world around them.
-
Experience opportunities that spark ambition, curiosity, and joy.
To bring this vision to life, we are seeking a founding Volunteer Chief Executive—a leader with heart, courage, and the drive to build something extraordinary from the ground up.
Why this role matters
Urban Youth is at the very beginning of its journey. The foundations we lay now—our culture, our programmes, our partnerships, our identity—will shape the lives of thousands of young people in the years ahead.
This is not a typical CEO role. This is a chance to architect a charity, shape a movement, and lead a mission that restores connection and hope for a generation growing up behind screens.
If you’ve ever wanted to build something meaningful, lasting, and full of purpose, this is that moment.
Your Role as Founding Chief Executive
You will be the driving force behind Urban Youth’s creation, growth, and early impact. Working closely with the Board of Trustees, you will:
-
Lead the set‑up and launch of the charity.
-
Shape our strategic vision, culture, and long‑term direction.
-
Build partnerships with schools, community groups, funders, and local authorities.
-
Oversee the development of programmes that build life skills, confidence, and community.
-
Recruit, inspire, and support volunteers and future staff.
-
Ensure strong safeguarding, governance, and operational systems.
-
Represent Urban Youth with passion, clarity, and integrity.
This role begins as a volunteer position during the set‑up phase, with the potential to evolve into a paid leadership role as the charity grows.
Who We’re Looking For
You don’t need to have been a CEO before but you will need management/leadership experience. You do need to believe deeply in young people and in the power of real‑world connection.
We welcome people from all backgrounds, especially those with experience in:
-
Youth Work or Education.
-
Charity Leadership or Start‑Ups.
-
Safeguarding and Compliance.
-
Community Development.
-
Fundraising or Partnership‑Building.
-
Communications and Public Engagement.
-
Operations, HR, or Project Management.
Most importantly, we’re looking for someone who is:
-
Vision‑driven and values‑led.
-
Energised by building something from scratch.
-
Comfortable with both strategy and hands‑on work.
-
Warm, inclusive, and able to inspire others.
-
Committed to creating safe, empowering spaces for young people.
This is leadership with legacy
As our founding Chief Executive, you will shape the identity, culture, and impact of Urban Youth for years to come. You will help build a charity that restores community, confidence, and connection for the next generation.
If you want your leadership to matter—to change lives, open doors, and build something that lasts—this is your opportunity.
Let’s build a charity that helps young people step into life—not scroll past it.
