Volunteer for a startup supporting infant health and parental wellbeing ❤️

Doozy Baby
We provide a wearable Kangaroo Care system and app supporting infant health and parental wellbeing.

Doozy Baby addresses the critical challenges faced during the early months of parenthood, including infant discomfort, parental anxiety, and the postpartum knowledge gap. Many newborns suffer from colic and sleep disturbances, while parents often experience high stress and fatigue. Furthermore, a lack of evidence-based guidance frequently prevents fathers and partners from participating equally in caregiving, placing undue pressure on mothers.

The solution is the Doozy Hug, a patented wearable system designed to promote Kangaroo Care—clinically proven skin-to-skin contact that regulates an infant’s temperature and heart rate. This technology mimics a parent's gentle breathing and warmth, comforting the baby while allowing parents to rest. This is paired with the Doozy App, which provides personalized insights, activity tracking, and practical guidance on early development. By combining innovative hardware with digital support, Doozy Baby fosters secure attachment, supports parental mental health, and encourages equitable caregiving, directly contributing to SDG 3 (Good Health) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality) for a more balanced family life.

User Testing & Researcher

Deliverables:

• Coordinate and support user testing for the first 5 Doozy Hug prototypes with selected parents.
• Develop simple test materials: user guidelines, observation sheets, and parent feedback forms.
• Conduct parent interviews (in-person or virtual) to collect insights on comfort, safety, usability, and support for parental rest.
• Organize the feedback into structured reports with clear recommendations for product improvements.
• Support the product team in prioritizing actionable refinements.

Skills Needed:

• Background in Engineering, UX/user research, human-centered design, or product testing.
• Strong interpersonal and interviewing skills, especially with new parents.
• Ability to interpret qualitative data and turn it into actionable insights.
• Empathy and sensitivity when working with parents of newborns.

Time Commitment: 5-8 hours per week
Duration: March 2026 – August 2026 (6-month testing phase)

Minimum Hours per Week:

7-9 hours per week

Duration:

6+ months

Volunteer Administrator

British Liver Trust | Central Winchester

In the UK there are more than 11,000 deaths due to liver disease each year. British Liver Trust is determined to achieve real change in liver health and during our busiest period ever, we’re looking for volunteers to support our small, friendly Admin Team within the Operations Department. 

You might be looking for a meaningful way to use your skills, stay professionally active, or gain hands-on experience in an office environment.  Whether you're looking to build your CV, you're between roles, or you're looking to contribute your time to a cause that really matters, we’d love to hear from you.

The role

This is a varied, practical role supporting a busy office. You’ll be involved in the day-to-day administrative work that keeps things running smoothly, particularly when workloads are high. Examples of tasks include:

• Order fulfilment; picking, packing patient booklets and materials, preparing to be posted

• Supporting the team preparing for upcoming events; travel arrangements, accommodation, venues, catering

• General admin; filing, stock taking, shredding, scanning

While this is a volunteer role, the work is meaningful, active, and very much part of the core team.   You don’t need to have worked in a charity before - you just need a positive attitude, reliability, and a willingness to get involved.

What you’ll gain

• Valuable, current office experience in a national charity

• The chance to work as part of a supportive, energetic team

• A meaningful CV addition, whether you’re early-career or more experienced

Many of our volunteers use this experience to support their next paid role, and we’re happy to provide references where appropriate.

About us & location

You’ll be based in our welcoming office in central Winchester, just a 5–10 minute walk from the train station. Please note there is no free on-site parking.

Our Admin Team is small, friendly and collaborative. You’ll be joining us at a critical and exciting time, when extra hands genuinely make a difference.

What we’re looking for

• Reliable people who can commit their time - as little as 2 hrs per week can be a big help to a national charity

• Team-players who are happy to roll up their sleeves and help where needed

This is an unpaid volunteer role, and we’re hugely grateful for the time and energy our volunteers give.

We appreciate the interest and enthusiasm of our community. As our team is very busy and our resources are limited, we kindly ask that those reaching out consider whether they can offer a consistent time commitment. The process of onboarding and supporting new volunteers is resource-intensive, and we need to ensure our efforts are used as effectively as possible.  If you’re interested in being part of a special organisation at its busiest ever time, supporting a great cause while staying active and professionally engaged. 

Can you commit to 2 hours of support at our office in Winchester?  We’d love to hear from you.
