The Roots Initiative
The Roots Initiative’s mission is to cultivate and activate Black youth to be the architects and leaders of transformative change.
The Roots Initiative tackles the systemic marginalization of Black youth in education, economic advancement, and political representation. For generations, Black youth have been disproportionately impacted by inequitable access to resources, biased narratives that erase and demonize their cultural heritage, and environments that often diminish their potential. These challenges pose grave consequences: disengagement from systems meant to support them, limited access to pathways for success, and the reinforcement of cycles of inequality, injustice and intergenerational trauma.
Ultimately, these barriers affect the trajectory of Black communities and the broader society. When Black youth are disconnected from their inherent genius, cultural and individual identity, and denied opportunities to lead and thrive, we forfeit the transformative impact they could bring to dismantling inequities and advancing justice.
Our approach centers on the lived experiences of Black youth, acknowledging their trauma while nurturing their strengths through emotional wellness, identity exploration, and social justice education. We believe that when youth are empowered with the tools, resources, and support to embrace their power, they gain the confidence to create meaningful change in their communities.
By prioritizing middle school-aged Black youth—a pivotal stage for developing identity, self-efficacy, and leadership skills—The Roots Initiative builds a pipeline of future leaders who are equipped to challenge oppressive systems and advocate for sustainable change.

- Cost Analysis & Program Expenses – Analyze our current and planned programs to determine real costs per participant, overhead allocation and cost‑recovery requirements.
- Resource Allocation & Scenario Modelling – Create models that allocate resources across programs and operations under different growth scenarios (base, optimistic and conservative).

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.

At Finance Innovation Lab we believe in a financial system that serves people and planet. Our financial system has become disconnected from the real needs of people, the environment, the wider economy and society. It doesn’t have to be this way. Could you help us change it?
About the roles
We’re looking for up to three new trustees to join our board from January 2026. Fully remote participation is possible.
You'll use your expertise to help the Lab be more effective and impactful, while gaining insights into our work and experience of charity governance and leadership. During 2026, there may also be an opportunity to take on the role of Chair, co-Chair, or Vice Chair.
All roles are voluntary, with reasonable expenses reimbursed, including childcare or other caring costs if this is needed to attend meetings.
Who are we looking for?
We’re looking in particular for people with experience in:
-
Financial sector policy: at the Lab, we work to change the policies and rules which shape and govern the financial system, so it can deliver more socially, economically and environmentally just outcomes. Do you have experience developing, influencing or driving government policy, legislation or regulation for the financial sector? This could be either from within or outside the mechanisms of power. Could you help us to achieve our goals?
-
Communications: effective communications are key to our work, and an area where we're looking to grow and improve. If you've got experience in media or digital comms, and would be willing to support and mentor the team as we develop our skills and capacity, we'd love to hear from you.
-
Fundraising: the majority of our funding currently comes from trusts and foundation grants, plus we’re working on building our earned income streams. In future we’d also like to explore individual giving. Do you have relevant experience in these areas you’d enjoy sharing?
We’re also keen to hear from candidates with the relevant expertise to join our Finance and Operational Risk Committee, and/or our Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion working group. You can read more about these in the attached Trustee Recruitment Pack.
We recognise that people's backgrounds and the identities they hold have a significant effect on the ways that they experience and are impacted by the financial system. We know that our own work will be stronger if it is directly informed by a diversity of perspectives, including from those most negatively impacted by the current financial system. We therefore particularly welcome applications from people with backgrounds or identities that are currently under-represented on our board and team, including those from Global Majority backgrounds, neurodivergent people, disabled and/or chronically ill people, those with lived experience of financial exclusion, and women and non-binary genders. For info, you can find the results of our 2024 diversity survey results on our website.
You must feel confident in supporting the team and the board by providing advice and input on your areas of expertise, based on your experience. However, previous experience of serving on a board of trustees is not required, and we provide training and mentoring on fulfilling the obligations required of a trustee.
Our Commitment to Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion
We believe that justice, equity, diversity and inclusion are fundamental to what we are trying to achieve.
We are committed to providing equality and fairness for all and not to discriminate on any grounds, including gender, marital status, race, ethnic origin, colour, nationality, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, mental health, religion or age.
You can read more about this, including the concrete steps we commit to during this process, in the Trustee Recruitment Pack.

We are a small, friendly, place-based funder seeking up to 3 new volunteer Trustees to take us into the next decade.
Opportunity – Volunteer Trustee (we have 10 currently)
Location – London Bridge/Borough High Street SE1 (hybrid meetings, in-person encouraged)
Salary - Voluntary (Reasonable expenses reimbursed)
Hours – equivalent to 1 day per month
Trustees attend 4 required board meetings each year in March, June, September, December. We also encourage attendance at our quarterly Finance Committee and/or occasional grant assessment meetings. All are hybrid meetings run from our office near to London Bridge SE1.
About Us
Wakefield Tetley Trust is a long-established grant-maker working in Tower Hamlets, Southwark and the City of London since 2008 as a joint entity, originally created in the 1930’s as two separate charities. We support people in need by funding local charities and community groups who work with individuals and communities who are marginalised or disadvantaged, for example because they have difficulty in accessing resources, face discrimination or may experience poorer social, economic and health outcomes. In 2024 the Trust made grants of £213,152 towards work in support of our aims.
The opportunity
We are looking for up to 3 community-minded individuals who might live or work in our area of benefit. You will be keen to engage in high quality grant-making through informed understanding of the needs and challenges facing the charities and communities that we support. We always need to add to our professional skill base so if you have experience relating to governance, finance, property, strategic and operational management, that is equally welcome. You’ll play a key part in developing our future plans and, as we are looking to incorporate in the next 12 months, you will play a part in achieving that and other changes.
Time Commitment
Being available, engaged and a sounding board for staff and other Trustees is just as important as attending 4 mandatory meetings each year. We hope you’d take up the opportunity to visit and meet with grant holder charities, and to develop your knowledge and intelligence of issues that affect people in our area of benefit.
Who You Are
We’re looking for up to three individuals who bring enthusiasm, knowledge or interest in the local area we cover (or willing to learn), commitment to sound governance and the intention to make high quality grant-making. You might have a specific social interest or issue that you want to champion, and you’ll be a collaborative team member of the Board.
We particularly welcome applications from people currently living or working in the London Boroughs of Southwark, Tower Hamlets or City of London.
