Every year, millions of phone calls made by people who stammer are mishandled. Callers are misunderstood, laughed at or hung up on. Voice recognition systems don’t recognise their speech. 

This can leave them being locked out of bank accounts, or unable to book GP appointments and get the help they need. It makes phone calls a nightmare. We’re here to stop this. 

Between November 2025 and October 2026, we will be providing free Zoom workshops to companies and organisations, where we will outline the steps needed to end the phone call nightmares. We are looking for volunteers who stammer to talk directly to businesses and help them understand how and why these changes are needed. Our Workshop Volunteers will be at the very front of our national Space to Stammer strategy, which forms part of our National Lottery work. It’s an exciting opportunity to join STAMMA as we grow and launch our new Phone Call Nightmares Campaign. 

We're looking for volunteers who can commit to at least 5 workshops over the next year. Please see the full role description on our website for current dates,

About the role

Working with our Training & Outreach team, we’re hoping that, following training, you’ll feel comfortable to: 

• Work within a pair to deliver pre-prepared workshops to a diverse audience of organisations. 

• Answer questions and facilitate discussion. The workshops will roughly comprise of 30mins of presentation, and 30mins open forum for discussion.

• Share and answer questions about your own experiences on phone calls. 

• Facilitate training with Zoom: taking turns in a pair to manage Zoom administrative functions such as switching on the captions, keeping an eye on questions in the chat box, allowing visitors into the session, muting/unmuting.

• Act as an ambassador for STAMMA, helping us to build good relationships with organisations, to help enact real change.

Who are we looking for?

You’re likely to enjoy volunteering in the Training & Outreach Service if you: 

• Enjoy public speaking and chatting with groups or would like to develop these skills. 

• Have or are interested in developing presentation skills. 

• Are comfortable both speaking and using the chat function in Zoom (or are happy to learn more about the platforms functionality). 

• Are comfortable sharing your personal experiences in relation to phone calls. 

• Have good time management skills – sessions will only last an hour, and every second counts! 

• Are passionate about making the world a better place for people who stammer. 

• Can commit to at least five sessions in advance.

For this role, it’s essential that you have a stammer. We think our message is best delivered directly from people who stammer, and your lived experiences will help make them sit up and listen.

You will need a quiet place where you can work in relative privacy and not be overheard during Zoom calls or telephone calls. You also need to have access to your own computer or laptop.

As a volunteer you can, of course, step back from the role at any time. However, both you and the service are likely to get most out of the opportunity if you’re able to volunteer with us for 12 months or more. By gradually learning and developing your confidence in the role, you can have the biggest impact. 

What can you gain from this opportunity?

This is a wonderful opportunity to join a small and friendly team! We'll make sure you're supported in every step of your journey, and you'll get to meet some inspiring people. You'll gain skills that you'll be able to use in all areas of your life and build experiences for your CV. Most importantly, you will make a real difference in the lives of people who stammer.

Do you want to see more happiness and kindness in the world? We’re looking for dynamic Volunteers to be part of creating exactly that!

About the Role:

Our volunteers bring people together for shared online learning experiences, based on positive psychology, that boost the wellbeing of everyone involved.

Our groups and courses can be run online or in-person in your local area.

Our course has been specially designed to gather the insights of the world's leading experts on six fundamental aspects of a happy and meaningful life: Gratitude, Self-Care, Relationships, Resilience, Kindness, and Meaning. It is a very impactful (many say life-changing) experience.

- Apply today! Together, we can inspire change that ripples out through people’s lives, communities and the world.
 

Be Part of Something Meaningful

We're building an AI-powered platform that transforms how organisations prevent burnout and support employee wellbeing-and we need your expertise to get it right.

If you're an HR professional, People and Culture leader, manager, or employee who's frustrated with generic wellbeing initiatives that don't actually help, this is your chance to design something better from the ground up.

What You'll Do

Deep Dive Discussions (Monthly)

• Share your real experiences with workplace wellbeing challenges
• Critique our approach before we build the wrong thing
• Help us understand what managers actually need versus what surveys tell us they need

User Testing Sessions (Bi-weekly)

• Test early prototypes of our dashboard, intervention tools, and manager toolkits
• Tell us what feels authentic versus robotic
• Challenge our assumptions about privacy, data ethics, and implementation barriers

Shape Real Features

• Your feedback directly influences what we build
• We're not asking you to validate our ideas-we want you to tear them apart
• See your suggestions implemented in real-time as we develop the MVP

What Makes This Different

This isn't a token "advisory panel" where your input disappears into the void. You'll:

• Have direct access to our founding team
• Participate in specific feature decisions with veto power
• Receive detailed updates on how your feedback shaped development
• Get early access to the platform for your own organisation (if desired)
• Have the opportunity to transition to our formal Advisory Board as we scale

Who We're Looking For

HR/People/Culture Professionals who:

• Have battled C-suite for wellbeing budgets and know what evidence actually works
• Understand the gap between "wellbeing is a priority" and actual resource allocation
• Can speak to security, compliance, and integration barriers that kill good initiatives

Managers who:

• Have had those difficult "I think you're struggling" conversations and know what makes them go well or badly
• Want expert guidance but feel underprepared for wellbeing situations
• Can articulate what would make them consistently use a wellbeing tool versus letting it gather dust

Employees who:

• Have experienced burnout or watched colleagues struggle
• Can identify what actually helps versus performative wellbeing theatre
• Want to ensure employee privacy and agency are protected in wellbeing tech

The Bigger Picture

Our research shows:

• 75% of managers want expert guidance but feel underprepared for wellbeing conversations
• 62% want training on "recognising early signs" but 68% already identify struggling team members—so the gap isn't detection, it's intervention
• Wellbeing is flagged as "high priority" but budget allocation is often unclear or absent

We're building a system that uses predictive modeling to detect burnout risk 1-4 weeks before crisis, identifies hidden patterns in motivation data, and deploys targeted interventions at individual, manager, and organizational levels.

But here's the truth: We'll only build something valuable if people like you tell us where we're wrong.

Time Commitment Breakdown

• Monthly Deep Dive: 90-minute virtual session exploring specific challenges
• Bi-weekly User Testing: 30-45 minute sessions testing prototypes
• Asynchronous Feedback: Brief surveys and feedback forms (15 minutes)
• Optional Office Hours: Drop-in sessions with our team as needed

Total: 3-6 hours per month, flexible scheduling

What You'll Gain

• Early Platform Access: Use DMAFB in your organisation before public launch
• Advisory Board Opportunity: Transition to our formal Advisory Board with equity consideration
• Professional Development: Certificate of participation; LinkedIn recommendation
• Network Access: Connect with HR leaders and wellbeing experts across sectors
• Impact: Your expertise will shape a tool used by thousands of employees

Our Commitment to You

• We'll never waste your time with meetings that should be emails
• You can participate as much or as little as your schedule allows
• We'll share what we learn from the collective panel (anonymised insights)
• If you decide it's not for you, exit anytime with no hard feelings

About Do Me A Favour Buddy

We're a wellbeing tech startup founded on Self-Determination Theory-the science of human motivation. Our platform translates employee motivation and wellbeing data into real-time, personalized interventions that measurably impact productivity, retention, and team performance.

We're seeing 60-80% reduction in burnout-related turnover and 12-15% productivity improvements in early pilots. But we know the real test is whether busy managers will actually use this consistently, and whether employees will trust it.

That's where you come in... (cue super hero music :))
