Project management volunteer volunteer roles

Who We Are

MINDSET Charity is a brand new start-up, volunteer‑run organisation dedicated to transforming men’s lives across England. We support men on their journeys of mental wellbeing and self‑improvement through workshops, creative programmes, community‑based activities, and online resources and groups.

We are building a movement of resilience, dignity, and brotherhood. To protect the men we serve and the volunteers who support them, we are now seeking a committed Safeguarding Lead / Safeguarding Team to ensure our charity operates with the highest standards of safety, integrity, and care.

The Role of Safeguarding Lead / Safeguarding Team

As part of our Safeguarding Team, you will:

• Ensure MINDSET Charity has robust safeguarding policies, procedures, and good practice in place across all programmes and platforms.

• Lead on safeguarding training, ensuring every volunteer is confident, informed, and equipped to recognise and respond to concerns.

• Oversee safeguarding disclosures, ensuring they are handled promptly, sensitively, and in line with statutory guidance.

• Build strong working relationships with safeguarding partners across England, including Local Authority Safeguarding Teams, the Police, and Social Care.

• Provide ongoing advice, guidance, and reassurance to volunteers, helping them feel supported and safe in their roles.

• Champion a culture of vigilance, dignity, and protection throughout the charity.

This is a volunteer role, but your leadership will be central to the safety, trust, and credibility of our entire movement.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from individuals with experience or strong interest in safeguarding, social care, youth work, mental health, or community support.

Experience in safeguarding roles, risk management, or working with vulnerable adults is valuable — but what matters most is your commitment to safety, your calm and compassionate approach, and your ability to act with integrity and clarity.

If you believe in protecting people, upholding dignity, and ensuring safe spaces for growth, you will be a vital part of our mission.

Why Join Us

• Play a foundational role in shaping the safeguarding culture of a national movement.

• Ensure volunteers and participants are protected, supported, and empowered.

• Build meaningful partnerships with safeguarding agencies across England.

• Help create safe, dignified environments where men can grow, heal, and thrive.

• Work alongside passionate volunteers united by vision, purpose, and brotherhood.

How to Apply

If you’re ready to help safeguard our community and strengthen the foundations of MINDSET Charity, we’d love to hear from you.

This is more than safeguarding. It’s about protecting a movement, honouring trust, and changing lives. Join us, and let’s build MINDSET together.

The opportunity

We are seeking a dynamic Chair of Trustees to lead East London Waterworks Park for three years, with the possibility to remain on the board for two further terms of three years. This is a rare opportunity to join a pioneering environmental charity and to work with the first paid Chief Executive Office to shape this next phase of our development.

The new Chair will have the opportunity to recruit new and additional trustees to create a board that provides appropriate strategic scrutiny of the charity’s work, strengthening our ability to realise our ambition to purchase the Thames Water depot side in East London, and our capacity to deliver community-led rewilding and nature-recovery projects across London in partnership with landowners, local authorities and other stakeholders. This could involve appointing Nature to the board.

About East London Waterworks Park

East London Waterworks Park is a community-led charity working to reconnect people and nature. Starting from nature-first principles, and with inclusivity at the heart of everything we do, we work with communities to co-design spaces to unlock a chain of positive changes that culminate in the long-term transformation of people and place.

Our work includes:

• co-designing East London Waterworks Park with the East London community, working towards purchasing a 14-acre Thames Water depot in Waltham Forest and transforming it into a biodiverse urban park with free, accessible wild swimming and welcoming community spaces

• co-designing other nature-first spaces on disused or brownfield land in London, returning land to nature in collaboration with local communities to encourage long–term community stewardship

• hosting engagement, education, and empowerment activities that build skills, confidence and deeper connections to nature.

East London Waterworks Park is a sociocratic organisation, with a decentralised organisational structure and a transparent and collaborative approach to decision making. We have grown organically since 2019, responding flexibly to the challenges we have encountered but always committed to our core vision: creating a new kind of urban green and blue space: one that is ecologically rich, inclusive, and shaped by the people and wildlife who use it.

East London Waterworks Park is currently entirely run by volunteers, and volunteers involved in day-to-day operations also sit on the board of trustees. However, we recognise the need to transition to a more sustainable structure and introduce a formal separation between the board of trustees and day-to-day operations. We are recruiting for a paid Chief Executive Officer and also want to appoint a new Chair of Trustees to ensure we have the capacity and strategic oversight to deliver the exciting projects planned in 2026 and beyond, while retaining our strong community-led ethos.

If this sounds exciting, please review the attached recruitment package.

Volunteer for a startup promoting social connection & environmental awareness ��

Ray Sea Association
We run hands-on upcycling workshops that build social connection, creativity, and environmental awareness.

Ray Sea addresses two interconnected challenges: social disconnection and environmental awareness. In today’s fast-paced world, many people feel isolated and lack spaces to connect through meaningful, creative experiences.

Our workshops use creativity as a bridge — fostering dialogue, mutual support, and collective expression. Participants co-create, share stories, and rediscover the joy of making with their hands, building confidence and emotional well-being. At the same time, we address textile waste by reusing and transforming recovered materials, raising awareness of sustainability and circular creation.

In essence, Ray Sea promotes connection — between people, and between people and their environment — through creative, conscious, and shared making.

• Prioritize segments based on impact, relevance, and revenue potential.
• Design a clear, realistic, and results-oriented marketing strategy.
• Adapt the strategy to a small, agile organization with limited resources.
• Create or refine workshops, educational programs, corporate team-building offers, and partnerships.
• Align each offer with market demand and internal capabilities.

You will focus on strategic levers such as:

• partnerships,
• email marketing,
• SEO,
• events,
• paid ads when relevant,
• targeted networking.
• Build a clear funnel from awareness to registration and retention.
• Keep it efficient, lightweight, and realistic.
• Identify the few actions that generate the highest impact.
