Major partnership officer volunteer roles

Trustee – Toynbee Hall

Help shape a fairer future as a Trustee at Toynbee Hall

Toynbee Hall has been tackling poverty and injustice from our home in London’s East End since 1884. We work alongside local communities to provide vital advice and support, carry out research and advocacy, and create space for people to come together and shape solutions to the challenges we all face.

We are now seeking new Trustees to join our Board and help guide the next chapter of our work. Trustees play a crucial role in setting our strategy, safeguarding our mission and ensuring the organisation remains focused, effective and sustainable.

We are particularly looking for a Trustee with a background in finance, accountancy or financial decision making to join our Finance Committee.

You do not need previous experience as a Trustee as we will provide a full induction and support, but you do need to bring independent judgement, strategic thinking and a commitment to building a fairer future.

We aim for a Board that reflects the communities we serve and especially welcome applications from people connected to Tower Hamlets and the East End, as well as from candidates who are Black or Asian or who bring diverse lived experiences.

Time commitment: Four evening Board meetings a year, an annual away day, and membership of at least one committee, which meets up to three times a year, usually online. Trustees serve a three year term, renewable up to a maximum of nine years.

Applications are open until midday on 10 November 2025.

We're building tech to predict employee burnout. We're bootstrapping painfully. Need someone who knows UK grants and has fundraising contacts to help us actually fund this.

The Situation

We're building a platform that predicts employee burnout 2-4 weeks before it happens. We have psychologists, tech people, and a working plan. What we don't have is money.

We're bootstrapping. Every penny is coming from the founders. We need someone who can help us find UK grants, foundations, and funding sources so we can:

• Hire developers properly (not Upwork disasters)
• Pay for proper infrastructure
• Move faster than our current painful pace
• Actually pay people who deserve to be paid

What We Need You To Do

Find money. Simple as that.

Specifically:

• Research UK grants for mental health tech, employee wellbeing, innovation, social enterprise
• Write grant applications that don't sound like AI wrote them
• Identify foundations that fund this kind of thing
• Use your network to open doors we can't open ourselves
• Advise on fundraising strategy - what's realistic for a pre-revenue startup

Current State:

• MVP launching December 2025 (yes, this year)
• Pre-revenue but have pilot companies interested
• Strong team (psychologists, AI/ML, CTO, UX)
• Evidence-based approach (not wellness fluff)
• Desperate for £20-100K+ to do this properly

Your Tasks

Weeks 1-2: Research & Strategy

• Map UK funding landscape for our sector
• Identify 15-20 realistic grant opportunities
• Prioritize by fit, timing, amount
• Create application timeline

Weeks 3-6: Write & Submit

• Draft grant applications (we'll help with technical content)
• Tailor each one (no copy-paste jobs)
• Submit before deadlines
• Follow up where needed

Weeks 7-12: Network & Cultivate

• Connect us with foundation contacts
• Attend relevant funding events (if any)
• Build relationships for future rounds
• Advise on corporate partnerships

Time commitment: 3 hrs/day first month (heavy research/writing), then 2 hrs/day ongoing

Why This Role Matters

Right now we're:

• Trying to find developers we can afford
• Using AI coding tools because we can't hire proper devs
• Moving slower than we should
• Stressing about infrastructure costs

With proper funding we could:

• Hire a full-stack developer (£40-60K would change everything)
• Pay for proper hosting and tools
• Run a real pilot with multiple companies
• Pay our psychologists for their time
• Move from "painful bootstrap" to "actual startup"

Your work could literally determine whether this launches properly or limps along.

Who We're Looking For

Someone who:

• Knows UK funding - grants, foundations, social enterprise funding
• Can write - applications that get approved, not rejected
• Has contacts - someone at a foundation might actually take your call
• Gets startups - understands we're scrappy and pre-revenue
• Cares about mental health - this isn't just a box-ticking exercise

Experience we actually need:

• 3+ years in grant writing or fundraising (charity or social enterprise)
• Track record of successful applications (tell us what you've won)
• Understanding of UK funding landscape
• Can write persuasively without corporate waffle
• Comfortable with tech/innovation projects (or willing to learn)

Bonus points:

• Experience with Innovate UK, UKRI, Wellcome Trust, mental health funders
• Network in impact investing or social finance
• Previous startup fundraising experience
• Understanding of NHS/health sector funding

What You Get

Be honest about what we can offer:

• Equity: If you help us raise significant funds (£50K+), we'll discuss equity
• Commission: Could arrange success-based payment (e.g., 5-10% of funds raised)
• Experience: Real fundraising experience you can put on your CV
• References: If you're good, we'll recommend you everywhere
• Network: Connect with our team and pilot companies
• Impact: Help us actually fund mental health prevention (not just talk about it)

This could be paid eventually. Right now we need someone who believes in the mission enough to help us get the resources to make it happen.

The Team

You'd work with:

• Founder (that's me (Don Diffang)- doing everything, need help with funding)
• Chief Behavioral Psychologist (evidence base for grants)
• Occupational Psychologist (workplace wellbeing expertise)
• CTO (technical bits for applications)
• Business Development person (partnerships)

Small team. No bureaucracy. Everyone's hands-on.

Timeline

November-December: Heavy research and first wave of applications January-February: Ongoing applications and relationship building March onwards: Either you've helped us raise money or we're still bootstrapping

Flexible hours. Most work is solo (research/writing) with weekly check-ins.

Success Looks Like

Minimum viable success:

• 10-15 applications submitted to relevant funders
• Clear funding pipeline for next 6-12 months
• Connections made with 3-5 foundations/funders
• At least 2-3 applications that have a real shot

Actual success:

• £20-50K raised in next 3-6 months
• £50-100K+ raised in next year
• Sustainable funding strategy in place
• Relationships built for future rounds

Dream scenario:

• Major grant or investment secured
• You becoming our part-time paid fundraising lead
• Proper funding to launch and scale

Why Not Paid?

Because we don't have money. That's literally why we need you.

If we had £50K lying around, we wouldn't be posting volunteer roles - we'd be hiring developers.

But: if you help us raise funds, we'll pay you from those funds (success fee or salary). And equity is definitely on the table for someone who helps us break out of bootstrap mode.

What We Promise

We won't:

• Waste your time on applications that have no chance
• Give you fluffy "brand guidelines" instead of real content
• Micromanage your writing
• Disappear when you need information

We will:

• Be realistic about our chances
• Provide all technical/impact content you need
• Respond fast to questions
• Give you credit when grants succeed
• Discuss equity/payment when funding comes in

Current Funding Landscape (What We Know)

We've identified a few areas but need expert help:

• Innovate UK: Smart Grants for innovation (maybe?)
• UKRI: Mental health research angle
• Wellcome Trust: Mental health innovation
• Big Lottery/National Lottery: Community wellbeing
• Health Foundation: Workplace health
• Mental Health Foundation: Prevention focus
• Social investment: If we structure right
• Corporate foundations: Companies with wellbeing focus

But we don't know:

• Which ones we're actually eligible for
• How to position ourselves (charity? social enterprise? tech startup?)
• What our chances realistically are
• Who to talk to
• How to write applications that work

That's where you come in.

To Apply

Tell us:

1. Your track record (be specific)
   • What grants have you won?
   • How much money have you raised?
   • What sectors/causes?
2. Your knowledge of UK funding
   • Which funders would you target first for us?
   • Why?
3. Your network
   • Any contacts at foundations/funding bodies?
   • Any that might be relevant to mental health/wellbeing tech?
4. Your availability
   • Can you commit 2-3 hrs/day for 8-12 weeks starting now?
   • Would you want equity vs. success fee vs. future salary?
5. One question for us

Attach your CV with fundraising successes highlighted.

P.S. If you've raised money before and you're between roles or have spare time, this could be perfect. Help us get off the ground properly and we'll remember it (with equity and paid work when we can).

Dive into lasting impact: Fundraise for East London Waterworks Park to create and shape natural swimming ponds, ecological habitats and community gardens

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

We are creating a fundraising strategy for our next phase of work: an exciting programme of community projects. If you have experience of planning or running fundraising campaigns, we would love to hear from you. Our community-led strategic process, as well as all of our work, is open for everyone to participate in.

The Fundraising Circle currently meets fortnightly on a Thursday evening on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely. We understand that people may not have a lot of time to give, so we want to find volunteers who could give us one-off or ongoing strategic advice and support.

If you have experience in writing grants and funding applications, corporate fundraising, philanthropy, or any other aspect of fundraising, it would be great to hear from you. 

We are keen fundraisers but we are lacking professional expertise and experience and we would love your help and input. We would welcome one-off advice on the phone or in person, as well as longer term volunteers. 

East London Waterworks Park is an exciting and ambitious project that offers many rewarding opportunities for our volunteers. You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds and forest schools. 

By leading fundraising projects that explore how diverse professionals (architects, ecologists, web developers, community researchers etc.) collaborate to shape community infrastructure, volunteers will directly contribute to the development of a park that truly reflects the needs and desires of the local community. 

Without funding we won’t be able to make it happen. Your input will help us craft experiences that inspire, educate, and engage our service users, stakeholders, funders, and the general public, ultimately driving support for the park's mission and ensuring its long-term sustainability. So you will be directly contributing to the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds.

Who we are

Established in 1844, Central YMCA is the founding organisation of the global YMCA movement, now present in over 120 countries.

Central YMCA works at local, regional and national levels, providing high-quality education, training and qualifications. As one of the largest charity Independent Training Providers in the country and the holder of substantial contracts from the Department for Education, Central YMCA provides education and opportunities for employment for young people and adults, irrespective of their background and experience. We work with some of the most socioeconomically disadvantaged groups, and we believe we can have the greatest impact for those falling through gaps in provision or struggling to engage with mainstream provision.

The sectors in which we work have been carefully selected to reflect the Charity’s commitment to supporting careers in areas that are essential for building strong communities. We deliver employability courses, qualifications and apprenticeships in Health and Fitness, Health and Social Care, Early Years and Education, Horticulture and Business Services. We work with key partners in each sector to promote our courses and amplify our reach.

Some of our work is strategically based in socially and economically disadvantaged communities; supporting the vulnerable and those on low incomes, those who have low prior attainment and are facing personal challenges, alongside those needing support through life transitions.

Through our awarding and end-point assessment organisation, Central YMCA also develops qualifications and learning and assessment resources to enable learners to start or develop their careers, predominantly in the physical activity and wellness sector.

Founded in the heart of London in 1844, Central YMCA is the world’s very first YMCA. For over 180 years, we’ve been inspiring people to reach their full potential in body, mind, and spirit. From pioneering youth education and fitness programmes to supporting communities through training, wellbeing, and social inclusion, Central YMCA has always stood for positive change.

Today, we continue that proud tradition by offering recognised training and qualifications, and a range of community programmes that empower people of all ages and backgrounds. We believe in opportunity for everyone — no matter your starting point. Whether you want to improve your health, gain new skills, or make a difference, Central YMCA is here to help you grow stronger, together.
