We are particularly interested in hearing from individuatls who can lead on the following areas:

Make a difference in Kent by joining our team of trustees!

Kent Community Foundation (KCF) is looking for individuals to join our Board of Trustees who have a real passion for our county and want to make a demonstrable difference to the lives of people in our communities.

KCF is a professional grant-maker and local philanthropy advisor for Kent and Medway. We have been established for 24 years; distributing more than £60 million in grants to voluntary sector organisations across the county; supporting small charities to be sustainable and successful, and helping major donors maximise the impact of their donations.

Trustees are the volunteers who lead charities and decide how they are run; setting strategic plans, monitoring the performance, impact and sustainability of the charity and overseeing its governance. People of any age and background can be a trustee, and we're looking for people with specific experience to help us support communities in Kent. We are particularly interested in applications from people who are typically under-represented on trustee boards.

We have a comprehensive trustee induction programme, so if you have never been a trustee or on a board before, we will ensure you have all the knowledge and support you need.

Trustee: Desirable skills

We are looking for applicants to have one or more of the following:

· Lived experience of the communities we work with and the issues which arise in our county

· Experience of grant making; either as a philanthropist, grant maker or grant applicant

· Experience in working with or within social enterprises

· Experience in communications and PR

· A background in socio/economics, or connections with education in that field

· Knowledge of, and experience in promoting diversity, equality and inclusion

· Professional experience or active interest in technology, digital communications and AI

· Long term connections and networks with any of our stakeholder groups in Kent; such as philanthropists, businesses  owners, key voluntary sector influencers

We hope to recruit up to three new trustees with different experience to offer, who can give some of their time and expertise to help KCF continue to grow and develop. We have four in-person Board meetings a year, and trustees also sit on at least one of our sub-committees, which meet two to four times a year (often remotely). There are also occasional events trustees are invited to attend to promote and engage with our work.

ENGINEERS/MAKERS

Across the UK, our 60+ local branches help disabled people live the lives they choose. Our network of skilled volunteers respond to thousands of requests each year to design and make customised equipment free of charge.

Our Engineer/Maker volunteers are at the very heart of what our local branches do. They use their practical skills and creativity to help people with disabilities live fuller and more independent lives.

What the role involves

This is a varied role where local need shapes what you’ll be working on, but it often includes:

• Designing and making pieces of equipment for individuals with specific needs

• Using your practical skills working with metal, wood, plastic, or electronics (or a combination of them)

• Attending a monthly meeting of the local branch.

We can support you to develop the skills you need for this role, and there’s an induction that covers all the areas above. You’ll also have chance to discuss your role and any additional needs with us.

What you’ll need for this role

Essential

• Practical experience in working with one of the above materials

• Comfortable working with people, listening to them and understanding their needs

• Able to apply our risk management system

• Able to apply disability, equality, and inclusion practices

• Able to keep people’s personal details safe

• Willing to follow REMAP policies and procedures and a commitment to our values

Desirable

• Access to your own tools and workshop (or can access these)

• Able to drive or have good transport links

You’ll also need to complete the induction checklist, as well as a DBS check and reference check.

Where will I volunteer?

This role is largely home based, but will generally also involve visiting clients out in the community. Your local branches hold in-person meetings once a month or so.

Time commitment

This varies quite a lot depending on which cases come in, how complex they are and whether they fit your skills and experience, but it’s essentially a flexible role and there are no set hours.

Why volunteer

When you volunteer with us, you join a community of committed people with a passion for helping to improve the lives of others. We’re a volunteer led organisation and we couldn’t do what we do without your hard work, skills and commitment.

N.B. We’ll reimburse any out-of-pocket expenses during your time with us.

• Volunteer and staff coordination, ensuring we have the skills and talent needed to achieve our mission.

• Partnerships and compliance, making sure REMIX is a trusted, reliable organisation for funders, partners, and communities.

Why It Matters

REMIX is building momentum—but to sustain it, we need strong foundations.

Your leadership will ensure:

• Our operations are robust, clear, and inspiring.

• Volunteers and staff feel supported, connected, and empowered.

• REMIX becomes the go-to organisation for youth empowerment and social mobility in London.

Who We’re Looking For

• Experience in operations, management, or charity leadership.

• Strong organisational and strategic planning skills.

• A collaborative, people-first approach with emotional intelligence.

• Passion for youth empowerment and social mobility.

What You’ll Gain

• A chance to shape the backbone of a new charity.

• Legacy-building experience in charity leadership and operations.

• A supportive, visionary team that values your ideas and impact.

• The joy of knowing your work is enabling young Londoners to thrive.

Let’s remix the rhythm of London—by building the structures that make change possible.

Blute
Blute provides AI-powered mental health support and data analytics to combat the catastrophic dropout rates among healthcare students, such as the 40% of UK nursing students who do not complete their training. The startup addresses the critical global deficit of healthcare workers, which is driven by students suffering emotional crises in silence during high-pressure clinical placements due to a lack of accessible support.

This issue perpetuates a cycle where understaffed hospitals offer poor training, leading to further trauma. Blute breaks this cycle by offering a conversational AI companion for judgment-free reflection and immediate guidance, acting like a supportive friend.

The crucial innovation is transforming the essence of these private interactions into actionable data. This allows universities to identify high-risk students and intervene with targeted support, transforming struggling students into resilient professionals. By doing so, Blute directly supports multiple UN Sustainable Development Goals, including strengthening the health workforce (Goal 3) and ensuring supportive, inclusive healthcare training (Goal 4).
