About White Ribbon Alliance UK

White Ribbon Alliance UK is an intersectional feminist charity working to end gender-based violence and advance gender equity in sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). We focus especially on marginalised and underrepresented communities.

We enable access to unbiased, evidence-based education, resources, and support for women, girls, and trans individuals. Our work influences healthcare professionals, hospital systems, policy makers, and the wider public to centre the human rights of women, girls, trans men, intersex, and non-binary people throughout the lifecycle of their sexual health needs.

We do this through research, community-led advocacy, training, and systems change. All of our programmes and campaigns are grounded in intersectional feminist values and led by lived experience.

About the Role

We’re launching a focused, short-term project to clear a critical backlog of internal admin and system updates—and we need a small team of skilled volunteers to make it happen.

This is a time-limited support project to help the charity reorganise, document, and streamline the core internal tools that underpin our delivery of training, advocacy, fundraising, and strategy. You’ll be working directly with the Movement Director to tackle key operational issues: outdated records, scattered files, undocumented workflows, and missing policy processes.

It’s not flashy work—but it’s mission critical. Completing this project will allow us to scale up our training programme, strengthen our policy influence, and stay accountable to funders, partners, and the people we serve.

We’re asking for a commitment of at least 4 hours per week for up to 3 months. After this project, volunteers will have the option to continue with us in new roles—whether in research, advocacy, creative campaigns, or ongoing admin support.

• Apply consistent naming and tagging conventions

Internal Policy and Process Coordination

• Create a policy and process update calendar
• Track policy owners and revision cycles
• Support publication of updated documents

Training Programme Process Documentation

• Document the enrolment, delivery, and follow-up processes for our training programme
• Centralise training tools, templates, and schedules
• Identify gaps or inefficiencies in how training is currently managed

Internal Volunteer & Admin Tracking

• Update internal volunteer lists (onboarding status, skills, roles)
• Maintain task logs and assignment sheets
• Format internal templates and reference materials

Survey & Data Cleanup

• Clean and cross-check training attendance records
• Format and summarise post-course feedback
• Organise survey responses into usable formats

Systems Improvement & Gap Analysis

• Spot inefficiencies or missing documentation
• Suggest and implement low-cost improvements
• Create checklists, flowcharts, or simple dashboards if relevant

What You’ll Get From It

• A meaningful role contributing directly to the strategic foundation of a national feminist charity
• The satisfaction of enabling frontline work that supports birth equity, accountability, and justice
• Flexible, remote working—you choose your hours and tasks
• A written reference or LinkedIn recommendation upon request and successful completion of the project
• Opportunities to continue contributing to our work after the project ends, including in research, training, policy, and advocacy

Skills and Qualifications (Required)

• Excellent English writing and communication skills
• Strong organisational and research abilities
• Interest in SRHR and intersectional feminism
• Experience with or willingness to learn Microsoft Office, SharePoint, Teams, Trello, and Canva
• Able to work independently and meet agreed deadlines
• Confident navigating and tidying digital files and folders

Diversity & Inclusion

We highly value diversity and strongly encourage applications from individuals in underrepresented communities, including but not limited to: Black, Asian, disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQ+, and retired individuals.

Residency and Legal Eligibility

Applicants inside the UK must already have the right to volunteer. We are unable to offer visa sponsorship. We especially encourage volunteers from Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, though all UK residents are welcome.

Applicants outside the UK may volunteer if laws in your country of residence permit you to undertake the tasks described here with an overseas charity.

The country’s only dedicated ancient tree charity, the Ancient Tree Forum (ATF), is looking for a new Trustee with Fundraising Experience.

About us – The ATF seeks to secure the long-term future of ancient trees through advocacy of no further avoidable loss, good management, and the development of a succession of future ancient trees. The ATF is needed now more than ever – this is a critical time for ancient trees, the habitats they support and the landscapes in which they can survive and flourish. Their protection is crucial, not least because these living monuments represent a globally important resource, for biodiversity, cultural connection, mental & physical health, carbon capture, and soil conservation.

The profile of the ATF continues to grow, and its expertise is sought at the highest level. We raise awareness and understanding of the value and importance of ancient and veteran trees to biodiversity, soils, landscape, heritage, and climate. We work with a mix of national charities, landowners, land managers, local authorities, and policy makers in national government and offer specialist training, advice, guidance, and outreach projects. 

What we’re looking for – Do you have the ability, empathy and commitment to make a major contribution to the protection of the oldest trees in the country, and all their associated wildlife, history and carbon impact? 

Are you an experienced fundraiser from the environmental or wider charitable sector? 

If so, we encourage you to consider applying. 

If you also understand current ancient and veteran tree-related challenges and issues this would be an advantage, although a background in the wider environment sector and in charities at a relevant level is more important.

Hope Springs Health Foundation Uganda

Hope Springs Health Foundation Uganda promotes community health equity among young people in underserved communities within Uganda

Hope Springs Health Foundation (HSH) Uganda addresses a range of pressing social and health challenges affecting vulnerable groups, particularly children, adolescents, and women in low-resource settings.

One of the core issues is the high HIV prevalence and teenage pregnancy in Mayuge District, where HIV rates are at 7% and teenage pregnancy stands at 27%, both higher than national averages. These challenges are often driven by transactional sex, early sexual debut, misinformation, and power imbalances in relationships particularly with older men. Adolescent girls face limited access to accurate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information, increasing their vulnerability to exploitation and disease.

Another persistent challenge is menstrual hygiene management (MHM). Nearly half of Ugandan girls miss up to three days of school each month due to lack of menstrual products and adequate sanitation. This leads to increased absenteeism and school dropout rates, ultimately compromising their educational and economic futures.

Additionally, gender-based violence (GBV) remains widespread in Uganda, with women and girls disproportionately affected. Many communities lack the capacity to identify, report, and prevent GBV, leading to unreported cases and prolonged cycles of abuse.

For children living with chronic illnesses such as Type 1 Diabetes, limited awareness and lack of access to proper nutrition and physical activity pose serious health risks, especially in low-resource rural settings.

Hope Springs Health (HSH) Foundation responds to these intersecting challenges with innovative and community-centered health promotion interventions.

To combat HIV/AID and teenage pregnancies, HSH works with communities to implement UNICEF’s evidence-based intervention; “Sugar Daddy Awareness Classes” in schools. These sessions empower adolescent girls with knowledge about the dangers of cross-generational relationships and equip them to advocate among peers, promoting informed choices and reducing risky behaviors.

On the menstrual health front, HSH trains girls to make, use, and distribute reusable sanitary pads. This not only addresses a critical hygiene need but also provides a source of income and resilience for the girls. Environmentally, the use of reusable pads reduces plastic waste, contributing to greener communities. Socially, this empowers girls to stay in school, confident and informed.

To address gender-based violence (GBV), HSH conducts trainings targeting community stakeholders such as local leaders, religious leaders, police, health workers among others. These trainings strengthen the capacity of community members to detect, respond to, and prevent GBV through coordinated referral systems and advocacy.

For children with Type 1 Diabetes, the “Active Hearts, Healthy Lives” program supports them through community education on physical activity and nutrition. This program helps improve their quality of life by promoting healthier lifestyles in contexts where resources are scarce.

Who we are

The Landmark Trust is one of Britain’s leading building conservation charities. With the help of our supporters, we save historic buildings in danger of being lost forever. We sensitively restore such ‘Landmarks’ and offer them a new future by making them available to everyone for short breaks. The lettings income from the 200 extraordinary buildings in our care supports their maintenance and survival in our landscape, culture and society. 

Seeking Trustees

With several Board retirements this year, the Landmark Trust is looking to appoint up to three new Trustees.

We are a charity which rescues and restores significant historic buildings; and which makes these available to as many people as possible, for enjoyment and inspiration, through our holiday accommodation business.

Landmark’s Board of Trustees numbers ten individuals with a broad range of expertise and experience.  The common factor is a commitment to the protection of heritage buildings, and to supporting the objectives, ethos, and aspirations of the Landmark Trust.

We welcome applications from any outstanding candidates who bring a strategic approach, good sense, and a desire to make a difference, to the Board.  Some particular skills which would be of interest are set out in the detailed Trustee Brief.

We also particularly welcome applications from under-represented groups, younger applicants, and those based outside the South East.
