Making connections volunteer volunteer volunteer roles in Manchester

Could you use your business connections to help more people leave homelessness for good?

We're looking for well-connected business professionals in Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester to become Standing Tall Connectors.

STANDING TALL – WHAT WE DO

Standing Tall is a social business that helps people rebuild their lives after homelessness through a stable job, a safe home and one-to-one support across 8 UK cities.

Our model works: 4 out of 5 people are in work, living independently and thriving 12 months later.

As we continue to grow, we are launching a network of volunteer Connectors to help expand our reach within the business community.

THE ROLE

We are looking for purpose-driven professionals with strong business connections to become Standing Tall Connectors in Birmingham, Bristol and Manchester.

This is an unremunerated volunteer position for individuals who believe in our mission and want to use their local networks, influence and business connections to help more people leave homelessness behind for good.

Connectors will represent Standing Tall within local business communities, attend networking events, and build relationships with businesses that want to be part of the solution to homelessness, either as Employer Partners, providing permanent entry-level jobs, or as Mission Partners, whose investment of £1,000 + VAT over 12 months helps one person leave the streets for good.

This role is ideal for someone who:

• Is passionate about making a tangible social impact
• Enjoys connecting people and opening doors
• Has strong local business relationships
• Wants to contribute their skills and network to a meaningful cause

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

The primary role of a Connector is to leverage their networks, attend relevant business events and identify opportunities to engage prospective corporate partners.

While there is no prescriptive approach to the role, Connectors are expected to help secure £12,000 + VAT of Mission Partner investment annually – enough to help 12 people leave the streets for good.

This may be achieved through a number of relationships and introductions, or through a smaller number of highly engaged partners. Our focus is on creating meaningful connections that help more businesses become part of the solution to homelessness.

Connectors are also encouraged to help identify prospective Employer Partners and facilitate introductions to the Standing Tall team.

TIME COMMITMENT

Connectors will sign up for a 12 month term that starts in July.

Generally speaking, we would anticipate that Connectors will:

• Attend approximately 1–3 business events per month
• Make introductions and connections where opportunities arise
• Participate in occasional meetings with the Standing Tall Team

We are flexible and understand availability may vary.

KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS & EXPERIENCE

We are seeking individuals who:

• Believe strongly in Standing Tall’s mission and values
• Have an established network within their local business community
• Are confident communicators and relationship-builders
• Are proactive, professional and enthusiastic
• Are comfortable attending events independently and representing Standing Tall
• Can commit time consistently throughout the year

Experience in business development, partnerships, sales, leadership, entrepreneurship or community engagement would be highly valuable. 

WHAT YOU'LL RECEIVE

While this is a voluntary and unpaid role, Connectors will receive:

• The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in people's lives
• Recognition and visibility as a Standing Tall Connector
• A toolkit with key messaging and marketing collateral
• A dedicated Standing Tall contact for onboarding and ongoing support
• Opportunities to connect with local Talent Scouts and the wider Standing Tall team
• Regular updates on our impact, partnerships and progress

Become a Community Wish Maker - In the Whole of North East of England

Right now, 136 children in the North West are waiting for their life changing wish — part of a much bigger picture of children across the UK still waiting for theirs. You can help make that happen, from as little as one hour a month.
 
Help Make Wishes Come True 

Every pound you help raise goes directly towards granting wishes for children facing critical illnesses, creating hope, joy, and unforgettable memories for families who need it most. 

What Makes This Role Different? 

This is a flexible, ad hoc, volunteer-led role that fits around your lifestyle and commitments. There are no set fundraising targets or fixed weekly hours. You decide how you'd like to support Make-A-Wish and how much time you can give. 

Fundraising is at the heart of this role and is driven by your own ideas, local connections, and enthusiasm. Whether it's organising a community event, engaging local businesses, securing donations, or encouraging others to get involved, you'll help generate the funds needed to grant wishes. We'll provide guidance, resources, and support along the way. 

 How You'll Get Started 

Getting started as a Community Wish Maker is simple. Within your first few months, you'll choose a fundraising activity from our Community Fundraising Toolkit or create your own fundraising idea. 

You can: 

- Organise an activity independently 
- Fundraise with friends, family or colleagues 
- Team up with other local Community Wish Makers 
- Support an existing Make-A-Wish fundraising campaign or event 
- Whether it's a bake sale, quiz night, sponsored challenge, workplace fundraiser, school activity or local business partnership, you'll be helping raise the funds needed to grant more wishes

We'll provide resources, guidance and support to help you succeed. 

What We're Looking For 

You don't need fundraising experience—just enthusiasm, initiative, and a desire to make a difference. 

We're looking for people who are: 

- Confident building relationships and engaging others 
- Self-motivated and proactive 
- Creative in finding fundraising opportunities 
- Organised and reliable 
- Positive, enthusiastic, and passionate about helping others 

What we will do for you: 

- You will receive a 12 week induction training
- Community Fundraising Volunteer Toolkit to help you get started 
- A one-to-one introductory phone call with a member of our team 
- Materials to get you started in your role 
- A dedicated Volunteer manager 
- Access to connections & networks in your region 
- Make-A-Wish email address / ID Badge / Letter of Authority to help with your fundraising
- Help & support you with ideas and steward you as much as you would like
- Regular volunteer newsletters with updates, opportunities, and useful information 

Commitment 

Aged 18 or over 

Commitment of at least 12 months 

If you're passionate about making a difference and enjoy bringing people together to raise funds for a great cause, we'd love to hear from you

Help Build the Engine Behind MINDSET Charity

Poor mental health can affect anyone — but men and boys are often less likely to talk about how they feel. Many carry their struggles quietly, without the support, tools or safe spaces they need to grow.

MINDSET Charity is being built to change that.

We’re a London‑based start‑up charity in our concept and set‑up stage, creating a movement that empowers men and boys to develop stronger mindsets, healthier habits and positive futures through action‑based wellbeing. No therapy. Just growth, reflection and real‑world tools that help men become the best version of themselves.

To turn this vision into reality, we’re recruiting an Operations Director (Volunteer) to join our Senior Leadership Team — someone who can help us build the operational foundations, systems and processes that will make MINDSET Charity a success.

This is your chance to shape the operational heartbeat of a charity before it launches.

What You’ll Lead

As Operations Director, you’ll play a key role in:

• Designing and developing our early operational systems

• Creating structure, processes and workflows that support growth

• Helping prepare MINDSET for Trustee recruitment and formal governance

• Supporting programme development and operational delivery

• Coordinating teams, volunteers and early-stage projects

• Building partnerships, networks and community connections

• Ensuring MINDSET is ready to launch with clarity, efficiency and impact

If you have connections in London, that’s a huge advantage — but passion, organisation and belief in our mission matter most.

Who We’re Looking For

Someone who:

• Has experience in operations, project management or organisational development

• Thrives in start‑up environments and enjoys building structure from scratch

• Can think strategically while managing practical day‑to‑day needs

• Communicates clearly, confidently and compassionately

• Believes deeply in men’s mental health and positive male role models

• Can give at least 4 hours per week (more if possible)

• Wants to help create a charity that will genuinely change lives

You don’t need charity sector experience — just initiative, leadership and a desire to make a meaningful impact.

Why Join Us?

1. Because this is more than a role — it’s a chance to help build a charity that will support men and boys for years to come.
2. Because your operational leadership will shape our future, our programmes and our impact.
3. Because you’ll be part of a movement that empowers men to grow, reflect and thrive.

• This is purpose.
• This is leadership.
• This is the beginning of something powerful — and we’d love you to help build it.

At One Degree, our mentors, ambassadors, and teachers are more than just volunteers—they’re lifelines for students often overlooked in their schools and communities. By offering direction, encouragement, and a sense of possibility, our volunteers transform lives while experiencing the profound reward of making a real, tangible impact.

Most of our mentors are young professionals, bringing passion, patience, and empathy to help GCSE/Year 11 students (ages 15–16) navigate their challenges. These volunteers serve as role models, guiding students who might otherwise feel left behind toward brighter futures.

To foster meaningful connections and provide continuity, we ask volunteers to commit to at least three in-person or online sessions per year. This ensures students build trust and form bonds with the people dedicated to helping them succeed.

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.

- The amazing 6-week Happiness Habits Course is designed to be run by pairs of volunteers.  It features expert videos, science-backed exercises and the chance to form meaningful connections. 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.

- Alternatively, you can get involved by supporting a Monthly Group, bringing like-minded people together to learn evidence-based tools for creating a happier and more meaningful life. Explore the monthly themes and encourage people to set personal actions towards happiness, that support both themselves and others.

Volunteering with Action for Happiness is a path of action that consistently feels like you are making a difference in the world. You don’t have to be an expert - or be happy all the time. If you are a warm and enthusiastic person that is more than enough to get started.

Why Volunteer with Us?

Do something that matters: spreading happiness and witnessing people transform for the better is a huge source of meaning.

Grow your skills: inspiring others, learning together and reinforcing your own happiness skills all contribute to personal growth.

Build community: meeting like-minded people, building lasting friendships and belonging to a global community contributing to a better future for all.

How do I know it’s right for me?

Try out free VOLUNTEER TRAINING via the Action For Happiness website and decide for yourself.

We've designed it especially to help you answer questions like this as it explains thoroughly what being a volunteer involves and helps you reflect on your readiness.

What is the time commitment?

You'll need to set aside a couple of hours for the training initially and a few more for planning your course or group and connecting with your co-volunteer. Then you'll need a couple of hours per session for facilitating (x6 weekly sessions for a course, or x1 session per month for a group). 

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

As part of the Government led Communities for Afghans programme, we are looking to recruit individuals or groups (UK BASED ONLY) to make up a team of 6 volunteers to support an Afghan family - you could be friends, neighbours, colleagues, faith groups, veterans, or community organisations are welcome.

We are currently focused on supporting families across Wales, West Midlands and Scotland but be keen to support elsewhere geographically where possible.  With this in mind, you may live in these areas, but we are also delighted to bring volunteers together remotely to support a family. 

You will be at the heart of this programme. It is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference!

The Communities for Afghans programme is a community-led Government initiative supporting families as they rebuild their lives in the UK. It is a Government-approved scheme that enables local people to welcome Afghan refugee families into their community. Volunteers will be supported by us to find housing for a family, provide practical and emotional support enabling them to settle into daily life and feel a genuine sense of belonging in the community.

How community sponsorship work

2. Training & Ongoing Support: Our partners provide full training, so your group feels confident and well prepared. This simple, practical training is offered before you begin and continues throughout the sponsorship journey.
3. Identify Suitable Housing: With our guidance, your group helps find long-term accommodation. We then match an Afghan family of the appropriate size and ensure the property is suitable and affordable. Government funding is available for rent deposits and related costs.
4. Welcome & Support the Family: Volunteers help the family register with schools, healthcare, benefits, and local services, while introducing them to the community and supporting them as they adjust to life in the UK.
5. Be the Local Point of Contact: You act as the family’s trusted guide, helping them navigate the area, understand local systems, and access opportunities that only residents truly know.
6. Commit for Three Years: Sponsor groups support the family for three years, providing consistency as they grow in independence, confidence, and resilience.

Why Your Support Matters

Volunteering through Community Sponsorship is a powerful act of solidarity. You are not only helping one family — you are strengthening your entire community.

Your support helps families: 

• Rebuild their lives in safety and dignity
• Access education, healthcare, and employment
• Learn English and integrate into the community
• Become confident and independent

And your community benefits:

• Stronger local connections
• Celebrated diversity
• Practical meaningful humanitarian action

Full training and expenses covered.
