About Future Dreams
Future Dreams is a breast cancer charity providing practical, emotional and wellbeing support for people affected by breast cancer.
At Future Dreams House in King’s Cross, we offer a wide range of classes, workshops, one-to-one services, support and educational activities, helping people feel supported throughout and beyond their breast cancer experience.
We are looking for organised, reliable and enthusiastic volunteers to provide administrative support to our Programmes & Services team and help us ensure that our activities run smoothly.
About the role
This is a practical, hands-on volunteer role supporting the behind-the-scenes administration involved in delivering our programme of workshops, classes and one-to-one services.
You will work alongside the Future Dreams team and help with a range of tasks, which may include:
- Creating simple banner images in Canva to promote workshops and activities.
- Creating timetables and signage in Canva for immersive days and events at Future Dreams House.
- Adding workshops, classes and one-to-one appointments to our Momence booking system.
- Updating, cancelling or rescheduling workshops and one-to-one appointments.
- Emailing customers about cancellations, timetable changes or rescheduled appointments.
- Checking information is accurate and up to date across our booking system and programme materials.
- Supporting the team with general administrative tasks as required.
Full guidance and training on Future Dreams systems and processes will be provided.
About you
We are particularly looking for volunteers who are dependable, organised and comfortable working independently once trained.
You will ideally have:
- Good general IT and administrative skills.
- Experience using Canva, or confidence using similar design software.
- Basic graphic design skills and a good eye for presentation.
- Strong attention to detail and accuracy.
- Good organisation and time-management skills.
- Confidence managing calendars, schedules or booking systems.
- Clear and professional written communication skills.
- A calm, flexible and practical approach to problem-solving.
- The confidence to ask questions when something is unclear.
- A commitment to confidentiality and handling information appropriately.
- A genuine interest in the work of Future Dreams and supporting people affected by breast cancer.
Previous experience of Momence is not required, as training will be provided.
What we are looking for
Consistency and reliability are particularly important for this role. Our programmes run throughout the week and the administrative work behind them is essential to providing a good experience for our visitors.
We are therefore looking for volunteers who can make a regular commitment and become a trusted part of the team, rather than providing occasional ad-hoc support.
What you can expect from us
As a Future Dreams volunteer, you will:
- Be welcomed as part of a friendly and supportive team.
- Receive training and guidance for the tasks you undertake.
- Gain experience of charity administration, programme delivery and digital booking systems.
- Develop your Canva, communication and organisational skills.
- See first-hand the difference that Future Dreams makes to people affected by breast cancer.
- Have the opportunity to use your existing skills for a cause that makes a meaningful difference.
If you are organised, dependable and would enjoy using your skills to help our services run smoothly, we would love to hear from you.
