We Are The Resistance
“We Are The Resistance” is an organization dedicated to promoting climate justice education and cultivating environmental responsibility through storytelling. Through our audiovisual content we hope to share global resistance stories, highlighting climate change's varied impacts on marginalized groups, particularly women, girls, and LGBTQIA+ individuals. We amplify unheard voices, especially from those pioneering local climate strategies to protect their land, livelihoods, and culture. Our platform centers these experiences, enriching our climate action approach for inclusive mitigation. The once attentive ears of society have begun to tune out the voices of scientists and academics; Conventional forms of environmental activism now bear the weight of stigma. Within this landscape, we believe that audiovisual storytelling is a new way to bring important experiences to the forefront of the climate movement and visibilise how the effects of climate change disproportionately affects historically oppressed and marginalised people and regions.

Could you help to raise vital funds for SSAFA in your local area? You don’t need a military background, just the ability to get on with all kinds of people, some basic I.T skills and good written and spoken English. If you already have some fundraising experience that would be great too but it’s not essential.

Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.
SSAFA branches rely on a regular charitable income to fund all the necessities behind our support for clients. This includes volunteer travel expenses, phone bills, publicity, and grants for clients in urgent needs. A varied programme of fundraising also keeps the SSAFA profile high in the local community. We’d love to hear from you if you could help by coordinating this vital aspect of your local SSAFA branch.

What can you gain from this volunteering role?
- Use your skills, knowledge, and life experience to benefit others.
- Give tangible and practical support to your local branch by raising funds used directly to support clients.
- Support from your local SSAFA branch and the wider SSAFA community
- Experience, training, and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews.
- Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!
What training and support would you receive?
- Mandatory on-line training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep clients, their families safe and personal information safe.
- Role specific training to prepare you for your voluntary role - Fundraising workshops.
- Access to a range of e-learning courses, fundraising guidance, and marketing materials
- Fundraising Manager (per region)
- Fundraising and Marketing teams based at our central office.

We address the challenges of the lack of unadulterated, gluten-free and allergy free food products in the market, seeing that there are more than 100 000 cases of gluten intolerance per year. We also address the fact that post-harvest loss and knowledge gaps on post-harvest methods exist.
We help to solve those challenges by building a holistic and inclusive African Super-foods value chain to fight food insecurity, hunger and diseases. This is done through capacity building and technical assistance, processing and value addition training as well as access to markets. We partner with community heads and women leaders to identify, profile smallholder farmers, women and youth; we train them on agri-entrepreneural skills, post-harvest methods and techniques, business, financial and marketing skills. For example, we train on different methods of extending the life of staple crops such as plantains, sweet potatoes, etc. by processing them into flours, chips, puree, boiled, fried, pastries and much more. This way we provide beneficiaries with quality education, technical support, reduce post-harvest losses and facilitate market access.

Rollr
Almost all of us wake up every morning and use chemical deodorant in plastic. Between us, we will throw away 26 million deodorants EVERY DAY. Current refillable options still force users to compromise on how they like to use or expect deodorant to work, stunting uptake and retention of customers.
Rollr's zero waste refills offer customers a way to deodorise that reduces packaging, weight and co2 by 95% compared to normal deodorants and 80% compared to any competitor. This is whilst the design of the bottle and formulation has been designed over three years with the aim of maximising uptake and retention so that people keep using Rollr forever and make the most of our refill's positive impact.
