The Children's Book Project is a national charity on a mission to tackle book poverty. We passionately believe that every child should have the opportunity to own a book and have, in the last year, celebrated gifting our 1 millionth book! We are looking for some wonderful volunteers to help us in managing book sorting and packing with a range of amazing corporate volunteers at our three HQs in Birmingham, Leeds and London.
We gift beautiful pre-loved and new books to schools and we gift within prison settings in order to reach children who may not otherwise have access to book ownership.

We work with a range of amazing corporate volunteer teams who come to organise, sort and then pack our books in preparation for delivery. These corporate days are always full of energy and fun and we are looking for energetic and passionate people to support these events as Volunteer Coordinators - helping to make sure that there is a warm welcome, a clear plan for the day and that our one-off visitors can contribute productively.
What is required:
- On average, a commitment to 2 days per half term

- A can-do attitude and enjoyment of working as part of a team.

We would love your support!

GMYN is seeking to recruit new trustees with the passion and drive to move the charity forward with our recently updated strategy.
Since 2007, we have supported over 15,000 young people across Greater Manchester who face significant challenges, including those with experience of the care system, young refugees, and those with social or mental health needs. We don’t just deliver programmes; we provide a "family" and a platform for young people to have their voices heard.
Following our 2025 Trustee Skills Audit, we are entering an exciting period of new opportunities and are looking for three new trustees to join our passionate board. We are looking for individuals who share our values of compassion, creativity, courage, learning and fun.
We are specifically seeking expertise/experience in the following high-priority areas:
- Finance & Audit Trustee: To provide scrutiny of financial information, budgeting, and support our long-term financial resilience.
- Fundraising & Income Generation Trustee: To help shape our fundraising strategy, focusing on corporate partnerships, grants, and traded income.
- Digital & Communications Trustee: To lead our digital strategy, helping us amplify our brand and marketing efforts.
- Young Trustees - Please see section below on “lived experience”.
However, you do not need to be an expert in these areas to apply. We welcome applications from anyone who shares our values. We believe that a diverse board with a wide range of perspectives is what makes us strong.
The Value of Lived Experience
GMYN aims to create an inclusive welcoming environment for young people and all those who work or volunteer at GMYN or wish to join #TeamGMYN.
Whilst our staff and board of trustees are diverse in many ways, we recognise we are not fully representative of the communities that we serve, and we want to change this. We especially encourage applications from the Global Majority, people from working-class backgrounds, and disabled or neurodiverse individuals.
At GMYN, we believe young people shouldn't just be part of our programmes—they should help lead them. We are looking for new Trustees help shape our future. We strongly encourage applications from:
- Young leaders (18+) who want to make a difference in Greater Manchester.
- Experts by experience: the unique insights you have from navigating the care system, living with a disability, or being a young person in Greater Manchester today. Your first-hand knowledge helps us make better, fairer decisions.
- People who currently use, or have previously been involved in, GMYN programmes including beneficaries, volunteers or GMYN alumni.
Your personal insight and "youth voice" are just as valuable to us as professional qualifications and experience. We want our board to reflect the diverse communities and the resilient young people we serve.
Why join #TeamGMYN?
Our current trustees choose to be part of GMYN because they want to:
- Make a meaningful difference for young people facing disadvantage.
- Gain a deeper sense of purpose by contributing to a cause rooted in compassion.
- Connect with diverse people and new perspectives within the community.
- Share their own knowledge to help more young people thrive.
The commitment

WANTED: THE REVENUE REBEL
ROLE: FUNDRAISING & PARTNERSHIPS VOLUNTEER
LOCATION: REMOTE / LONDON COFFEE SHOPS / BOARDROOMS
THE MISSION
PROJECT MONO is free for youth, but it isn’t free to run. We need gear, insurance, and the best creative mentors London has to offer. We skip the expensive buildings so every penny goes into the project—now we need someone to find those pennies (and pounds).
We need a Fundraiser who can tell our story in a way that makes people want to open their checkbooks. You’re the bridge between the "corporate world" and the "concrete reality."
THE GIG
-
The Hunt: Identifying and applying for micro-grants, council funds, and "social value" pots.
-
The Pitch: Building relationships with local London brands (clothing, music, tech) for sponsorship or equipment "in-kind."
-
The Strategy: Developing "The Merch Drop" and other creative ways for the project to generate its own income.
-
The Receipts: Helping us track our impact data so we can prove to donors that their money is changing lives.
ABOUT YOU
-
You’re a closer. You know how to ask for money without making it awkward.
-
You can write. You turn boring "funding criteria" into a compelling story about London’s future.
-
You’re persistent. A "No" from a donor is just the start of the conversation for you.
-
You believe that youth work deserves professional-grade funding.
THE COMMITMENT
Flexible and mostly remote. We need roughly 4-5 hours a week. Most of your work will be researching and writing, with occasional "Pitch Meetings" alongside the Project Manager.
THE PERKS
-
The Blueprint: You’ll be a founding member of a lean, scalable non-profit.
-
The Network: Direct access to London’s decision-makers and community leaders.
-
The Win: Nothing beats the feeling of securing the funding that makes a 48-hour "Drop" happen.
HOW TO APPLY
Respond with:
-
The "Pitch": In 3 sentences, tell us why a brand like Nike or a local tech firm should give PROJECT MONO £1,000.
-
Your Record: Briefly mention any experience you have with sales, grants, or convincing people to back an idea.
-
The "Why": Why do you want to fund this project specifically?
PROJECT MONO. FUND THE FUTURE.
Non Charity Employer
101 - 500
PROJECT MONO is a London-based, volunteer-powered youth collective. We strip back the red tape to deliver high-octane, short-term urban projects.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
