About us:
The Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) is one of the largest immigration and asylum advice charities in the UK, supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants to access justice. An OISC level 3 accredited organisation, we represent clients at all stages of the immigration and asylum process, up to and including the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
We also actively campaign for a fairer and more humane immigration system. RAMFEL caseworkers therefore have the opportunity to work on systemic and strategic challenges and support broader advocacy work.
We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, and those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of UK immigration policy and/or of rough sleeping. This includes individuals with direct experience or experience gained through supporting family members with the challenges posed by immigration and asylum practices- those who have been or could have been clients of RAMFEL.
Purpose of the role:
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that the Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that RAMFEL has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and senior management to enable us to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Duties:
- Support and provide advice on RAMFEL’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Review and approve organisation strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their effective and efficient implementation.
- Oversee RAMFEL’s financial plans, budgets, and statements, and monitor and evaluate progress
- Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Provide support and challenge to RAMFEL’s management team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
- Keep abreast of changes in RAMFEL’s operating environment.
- Contribute to regular reviews of RAMFEL’s own governance.
- Contribute to the broader promotion of RAMFEL’s objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
As a small charity, there will be times when trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings and sub-committees. This may involve providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, reviewing or advising on operational documents (e.g. operational and business plans, new team structures, outreach and engagement events) or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
What we are looking for
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We are furthermore particularly looking for those who can contribute one or more of the following:
- Migrants or refugees, who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice
- Expertise in RAMFEL’s core service delivery, especially regarding advice, immigration or legal services
- Networking and fundraising ability
- Experience of campaigning and/or external communications
- Organisational and administrative skills
Previous governance experience is desirable but not essential and we will provide a full induction to the organisation and the workings of the Board.
This is a fully voluntary and unpaid position. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursement.
Please refer to the job description for more details and application instructions.
If you are interested in the Trustee role and would like more information, we would be pleased to arrange an informal discussion with our CEO or one of our current Trustees.
We will only be shortlisting candidates who have submitted a CV and a cover letter explaining their interest in the role will be shortlisted.
Shortlisted candidates will first participate in an informal chat, followed by a formal panel interview.
RAMFEL is a charity that supports vulnerable migrants to access justice and that provides vital support in moments of individual crisis.

About Kith & Kids
We provide activities, opportunities, information, and support for people with a learning disability or autism, their parents, and siblings.
For all our projects and activities we are dependent on volunteers.
Our Employability Project
10am to 3pm, Monday and/or Friday during term-time
Our Employment & Life Skills Project (ELSP) helps adults with learning disabilities or autism to access further education, work experience and visits to mainstream community opportunities.
What you’ll do
You’ll act as a mentor to the members of the group. You’ll be helping the group(s) develop a range of life skills, things that many of us take for granted. These include Maths and English skills, independent living, the use of public transport, social skills and even the sourcing of employment.
For the people in these groups, these things can be very difficult to develop and achieve without regular support. Through regular support and meetings, members and volunteers develop greater trust, skills, and confidence together.
Come along and get involved!
Requirements
What you need
You do not need experience. Full disability awareness training will be provided before you begin volunteering with us.
The only requirements we ask of you are enthusiasm, energy and to be open-minded.
Minimum age for volunteers is 20.
How much time?
The project runs from 10am to 3pm, Mondays and/or Fridays during term-time.
Everyone gets the most out of the project if you come every week for at least a term as you'll build a close relationship with the members you'll have been supporting and will create the most impact.
What we can offer you
ELSP represents a fantastic opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience built up through a lifetime to a group that is continuing to develop and achieve their targets.
We’ll reimburse your travel expenses and will provide excellent training and lots of helpful support.
By volunteering on our project you'll also:
- Use and develop your skills: time-management, working within a team, problem-solving and adaptability.
- Learn something new, get involved in fun activities with others.
- Increase your confidence.
- Meet like-minded people and make friends.
- Gain experience for (other) work
- Give something back to the community.
- Do something fun and satisfying in your spare time
- Challenge yourself.
What about training?
Volunteers must attend training and complete a free DBS check before you begin volunteering.
This is a great opportunity to get to know everyone at Kith & Kids: your fellow volunteers, some of our members you will be working with, and also gives the opportunity to develop some new skills and expand your knowledge in our workshops.
Topics we cover include:
- Autism
- Safeguarding
- Creativity & Participation
- Negotiation & Boundaries
When do I need to come?
Volunteers must attend training and complete a DBS check before taking part.
We'll be running face-to-face training in north London starting on the 20th September with lots of other dates to choose from.
In the meantime, we'll be meeting volunteers online from mid-Sept.
Training will take place in North London – once we have met you online for a chat, we will send you confirmation of our training venue details.

Do you want to help shape a fairer future for animals, where progress in medicine is equal, ethical, and compassionate?
We’re looking for passionate changemakers to join our Public and Guardian Involvement and Engagement (PGIE) Group as volunteer members. Whether you’re a professional (human clinician, vet, scientist, engineer, or bioethicist), an animal guardian, or simply someone who believes in equality for all species, then we’d love to hear from you.
What is PGIE?
In human healthcare, Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) has become a powerful way to make sure research meets real patient needs. At Humanimal Trust, we’re translating this idea into veterinary medicine through PGIE – bringing together patients (in our case animals, via their guardians), the public, and professionals, to develop best practices.
By joining, you’ll be helping to guide research, so it benefits both humans AND animals.
As a volunteer member, you’ll:
- Help shape an ethical framework for One Medicine, focusing on good practice in veterinary clinical trials and collaboration between human and veterinary medicine.
- Join virtual group meetings (around 6 per year, with at least 60% attendance expected).
- Share your ideas and perspectives to support our mission and influence real change.
- Work with others to build consensus on key issues.
- Support projects and campaigns that spread the message of One Medicine.
- Occasionally represent the group at meetings and events.
What you’ll bring:
- Good listening and communication skills.
- An open mind and respect for different perspectives.
- A real passion for making a difference.
- Enthusiasm for our mission to create a fairer, kinder future for all species.
What’s in it for you:
- Be part of something truly groundbreaking – PGIE is the first group of its kind.
- Play a direct role in giving animals a voice in medical progress.
- Help build stronger connections between humans and animals in the fight against disease.
- Be part of a supportive, inspiring community of people who care as much as you do.
While this is a voluntary role, we will do our best to cover any out-of-pocket expenses related to your involvement.
Together, we can make sure that all humans and animals benefit from equal and sustainable medical progress, but not at the expense of an animal’s life. This is One Medicine.

Actively Interviewing
This organisation is scheduling interviews as applications come in. They're ready to hire as soon as they find the right person. Don't miss your opportunity, apply now!
We are looking for a volunteer who would like to play a role in building children’s confidence. Would you be interested in supporting children to improve their numeracy abilities? We are looking for a volunteer who understands children with specific needs particularly around attention and memory challenges. Through your support, encouragement and tutoring you will make a difference to the people you work with! Hestia provides holistic, one-to-one support in our refuges and the community. Our refuge services are for women and children, offering a safe place to stay and vital emotional and practical support.
Outside of our refuges, most of our support services are accessible by anyone who has experienced domestic abuse, including men.
In the last year, 3,855 women and children were supported by Hestia to recover from domestic abuse.
Anyone can experience domestic abuse, at any point in their life, regardless of their background, age, gender, ethnicity or sexual orientation. However, it is a gendered crime, with women being three times more likely to be victims.
We help people understand what domestic abuse is and develop the knowledge, skills and tools they need to protect themselves, stay safe and leave a relationship, if and when they’re ready to do so.
