About White Ribbon Alliance UK
White Ribbon Alliance UK is an intersectional feminist charity working to end gender-based violence and advance gender equity in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We focus especially on marginalised and underrepresented communities.
We enable access to unbiased, evidence-based education, resources, and support for women, girls, and trans individuals. Our work influences healthcare professionals, hospital systems, policy makers, and the wider public to centre the human rights of women, girls, trans men, intersex, and non-binary people throughout the lifecycle of their sexual health needs.
We do this through research, community-led advocacy, training, and systems change. All of our programmes and campaigns are grounded in intersectional feminist values and led by lived experience.
About the Roles
We’re recruiting volunteers to help us clear a critical backlog of operational, systems, and admin tasks that are currently limiting our capacity to scale. This is a focused support programme — but also a strategic investment in our long-term ability to deliver effective training, campaigns, advocacy, and grant-funded work.
You’ll be helping us document key processes, organise internal systems, clean and consolidate data, and improve how we track our relationships, impact, and resources. This isn’t front-line or flashy — but it’s work that makes all of the rest of it possible.
You’ll work closely with our Movement Director and relevant project leads, depending on your skills and interests. Some volunteers may focus on operations or training support; others may focus on grants, content organisation, contact directories, or volunteer coordination.
Commitment: At least 4 hours per week
Duration: 3 months initially, with options to continue
Location: Remote
Start Date: Rolling — we onboard volunteers in cohorts

As part of our ongoing commitment to strong and effective governance, we are actively seeking passionate and dedicated individuals to join our Board of Trustees. This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in shaping our organisation’s future and making a meaningful difference for children and young people with cancer and their families.
CCLG is a leading children and young people’s cancer charity, funding research and supporting families. We are also the professional association for those working in children and young people’s cancer in the UK and Ireland.
We’re looking to expand our Board of Trustees, increasing the overall number and planning for the future as a number of longstanding members of the Board approach the end of their terms of office.
It’s an exciting time to be joining us as we have just launched our new brand and a new bold and innovative research strategy, and we’re just getting to work on developing our next organisational five-year strategy.
Our Board of Trustees has an important part to play in helping us to achieve our ambitions of creating a brighter future for children and young people with cancer. If you join our Board of Trustees, you’ll have the opportunity to make a real impact and be part of our success story.
CCLG is committed to providing an inclusive, supportive and flexible environment. We would very much welcome applicants from all backgrounds and as our current Board is not as diverse as the communities that we work in, we would be particularly interested in applications from underrepresented groups.
We're looking for individuals who can bring their skills and experience to support the governance and strategic leadership of CCLG, whether those are professional skills and experience that relate to our main areas of activity, or to organisational governance and leadership, or lived experience of children and young people's cancer.
