Nina Energy
At Nina Energy, we believe that some of the world’s most inequitable regions hold the greatest potential for climate solutions. Across the Global South, smallholder farmers struggle with low incomes, high costs, and limited access to technology — yet they live surrounded by abundant biomass that today is often wasted or burned.
Our vision is to democratize access to biorefinery technology, enabling rural communities to transform agricultural residues into biochar, renewable energy, and carbon credits. By doing so, we turn environmental liabilities into local assets: healthier soils, cleaner air, reduced fossil fuel dependence, and new revenue streams.
As a volunteer, you will join us in building this movement from the ground up — not only developing technology, but also co-creating training programs, cooperative models, and inclusive businesses where women and youth lead. Your skills can directly help us design, scale, and share solutions that bring climate justice and economic resilience to the communities that need them most.
We are not just building machines. We are building a network of community-owned biorefineries across the Global South — hubs of climate action, education, and empowerment. With your support, we can ensure that carbon-negative technologies are not reserved for the wealthy few, but become tools for the many.
Join us to make this vision real — to turn abundant biomass into opportunity, and inequity into resilience.
Finance Assistant (Financial Planning & Analysis)
We are Nina Energy Limited (UK) with operations in Ecuador. We seek a volunteer passionate about climate finance to build an integrated financial model for our modular biorefineries and products (biochar, thermal energy, biocoke/torrefied biomass, pellets, carbon credits).
You will: Build a 3-statement + project finance model (P&L, CF, BS) with scenarios. Model unit economics and cash-flow waterfalls per product/site (CAPEX, OPEX, MRV/issuance fees, pricing, offtakes). Quantify IRR/NPV/Payback by line of business; sensitivity analyses (capacity factor, feedstock cost, heat sales, credit price). Produce investor-ready outputs: summary dashboard + 2-page investment memo. You are not doing bookkeeping; this is an analytical FP&A/project-finance role.

Duration

About the Stephen Dodgson Charitable Trust
The Stephen Dodgson Charitable Trust was established in 2015 to support musicians (including professional, student, schools music groups and community groups) and celebrate the music and legacy of British composer Stephen Dodgson (1924–2013). Stephen Dodgson had a long, distinguished and multifaceted career as a composer, Professor at the Royal College of Music and Radio 3 broadcaster. His musical voice could be both playful and deeply evocative, and he was much loved as a mentor to younger generations of musicians that worked with and taught.
The Trust awards grants to musicians, ensembles, festivals, educational institutions and arts organisations that perform, record or raise awareness of Dodgson’s music in line with the Trust’s charitable aims. The Trust responds to external grant applications and we also curate our own artistic and commemorative projects. A small, dedicated Board of Trustees works closely with the Trust CEO to guide and support the organisation’s work, ensuring funds are used thoughtfully and make a lasting, meaningful difference to the classical music community.
Recent projects also include a beautiful centenary book, a collection of essays and fond reminiscences about Stephen Dodgson – the man and the musician – which came out in 2024.

About the Role
The Trust is looking for a Treasurer to join our Board and take the lead in overseeing the charity’s finances. This is a key role, offering the chance to make a direct impact on the Trust’s ability to support musicians and projects with confidence and transparency.

This rewarding role will help many interesting and worthwhile projects come to fruition and includes plenty of opportunities to enjoy attending concerts and other similar events. (Recent events include two epic concerts featuring major Dodgson works at St John’s Smith Square, the opening night of this year’s Barnes Music Festival and a Snape Maltings performance of Dodgson’s four-act opera Margaret Catchpole.)
This role would suit someone with financial management skills or similar, and a fair knowledge of and interest in classical music, arts funding, and charitable work more generally. A good communicator who enjoys working collaboratively with others and is enthusiastic about the opportunity to promote music and musicians – especially young musicians will thrive in this role.

Location: Bracknell / Reading
Commitment: 2–3 hours per week (either a weekday evening or weekend morning) either weekly, or bi-weekly.
Overview:
“Research commissioned by Stonewall shows that too many LGBTQ+ people still don’t feel welcome playing or watching sport”. We aim to change this, which is why we are launching an LGBTQ+ football club in Bracknell and/or Reading to give people the opportunity to participate in team sports in a safe, welcoming and supportive environment. We are looking for enthusiastic and committed volunteer coaches to help us deliver fun, accessible, and inclusive football sessions for the local LGBTQ+ community.

Ensuring sessions are safe, inclusive and welcoming to players of all abilities.
-
Encouraging participation, teamwork and building confidence.

Supporting the club’s growth — from small sessions to potentially multiple teams or leagues with other clubs / charities.

Rotating coaching duties with other volunteer coaches (approximately 2 sessions per month each, with potential for more if required).
-
Acting as a positive role model, upholding the values of Support U and the club.
Who We’re Looking For
-
Desirable: Previous training certification in FA First Aid, FA Level 1, Diversity & Inclusion (or similar).
-
Someone passionate about football and community sport and who is part of, or an ally of the LGBTQ+ community.
-
Previous coaching or other relevant experience (formal qualifications are desirable but not essential).
-
Strong communication and motivational skills, always using positive and inclusive language.
-
Ability to create a positive, safe and supportive environment.
-
Reliable and able to commit to a long-term volunteering position, 2–3 hours weekly/bi-weekly on weekday evenings.
Compliance & Requirements
-
Enhanced DBS check (organised by Support U).
-
Agreement to the Support U Volunteer Code of Conduct.
-
First Aid training (or willingness to undertake training provided).
-
Safeguarding training (or willingness to complete training provided).
-
ID checks.
-
Reference checks.
What’s in it for You
-
This is a great opportunity to foster a stronger community, and to have fun!
-
Gain greater coaching experience in a unique, inclusive setting.
-
Help break down barriers to sports, such as football, for LGBTQ+ people.
-
Make a meaningful difference to people’s physical and mental wellbeing, which is especially valuable to a community who are more likely to experience poor mental health than those who do not identify as being LGBTQIA+.
