WHO ARE WE?
Palmed Academy, the education arm of Palmed UK, is training the next generation of healthcare workers in Gaza. There is an extreme shortage of health workers and limited educational opportunities for medical, dental, and nursing students in Gaza.
We aim to provide medical, nursing, and dental students with the resources, training, and opportunities to advance their education and become the future healthcare workforce in the Gaza Strip. We do this using a hybrid learning model - an online learning platform supported by international faculty to supplement on-the-ground clinical teaching by local faculty and healthcare workers.
This program is entirely free for the students. It costs about USD 150 / month to produce One Future Healthcare Worker through this program.
OUR IMPACT
2100 Palestinian medical students are continuing their undergraduate education through GEM’s hybrid model. We have expanded to include nursing and dental programs. 200 new doctors graduated in Gaza in January 2025, and our first cohort of nurses is set to follow in summer 2025.
JOIN US, DRIVE THE CHANGE
Your support empowers the next generation of healthcare workers in Gaza to save lives and rebuild hope - one student, one patient, and one community at a time.
We need support from the global community to build awareness, forge partnerships, lead on new initiatives and projects, and help us in social media, marketing, and fundraising. Lend your skills for a sustainable impact on Gaza’s healthcare!
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Palmed Academy is seeking a talented web designer to volunteer with us in building a new website. This is a great opportunity to showcase your creativity, build your portfolio, and contribute to an educational initiative that makes a real impact.
Our current website has a complex back-end interface that is difficult to manage. We are looking for a web designer to build us a new website using a no-code or low-code web design tool (e.g., Squarespace, or similar), ensuring it has a clean and simple back-end interface. Once built, the site should be easy to update by volunteers with no coding knowledge, so that content changes and updates can be managed smoothly by our team. This is a short-term project that should ideally be completed within 3-6 months, depending on the volunteer's availability.
Skills required
- Experience designing websites with no-code tools, e.g., Squarespace
- Strong eye for design, layout, and user experience.
- Be able to make the site responsive across devices.
- Create a clear handover process for future maintainers.
- Be collaborative, patient, and motivated by making a positive impact.
Be part of a dynamic and growing international volunteer team dedicated to making real change in the current and future healthcare in Gaza. As this is a volunteer role, hours and working arrangements are flexible to your availability. Be part of a supportive, mission-driven environment where your work truly matters.

-
Maintain accurate records and filings with Companies House and the Charity Commission.
-
Help shape policies that reflect our values of inclusion, dignity, and transparency.

The Position
We are looking for a Grants Officer who can coordinate our grants team and support diverse tasks that include research, ideation and writing of proposals. In this role you’ll be a key contributor to the continued existence of Second Tree, a small, grassroots NGO that is dependent on grants to survive.
To do this successfully, you will employ meticulous time-management and organization skills, as juggling multiple tasks with competing deadlines is common in this role. You’ll also be able to work efficiently independently, managing your own time and tasks; and in a team, overseeing project timelines and ensuring deadlines are met.
You’ll have demonstrable writing experience and the ability to communicate professionally in English. You will also have experience researching and/or writing grants, producing content that is compelling and that will help Second Tree secure new funding streams. Finally, you’ll have an adaptable and flexible attitude, knowing that problem-solving and meeting tight deadlines are inevitable aspects of this role.
The role will include:
- Researching and identifying new grant opportunities on a weekly basis;
- Summarizing relevant grant opportunities and suggest how to best respond and comply with them;
- Researching information and data necessary for grants and grant reporting;
- Managing the organization of proposals and other documents created by the grants team;
- Supporting the development of outlines, timelines, staffing and budgets for grants according to funding guidelines;
- Supporting grants team with proposal writing;
- Creating timelines and coordinating team to ensure deadlines are met;
- Maintaining necessary records, files, reports, databases, and resource materials for Grants team;
- Working with the wider Second Tree team to ensure that all project proposals align with organisational, and program strategies;
- Establishing and maintain connections with funding bodies;
- Performing other duties as assigned;
Skills Required:
- Ability to professionally communicate in English (verbally and in writing);
- Ability to compile and maintain a variety of documents needed for the research, monitoring, development and submission of a proposal;
- Ability to read, comprehend, interpret, summarise and follow proposal guidelines;
- Ability to conduct thorough, high-quality, independent research;
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team;
- Ability to manage and prioritize projects effectively to meet team and proposal deadlines;
- Ability to work to tight deadlines with flexibility and problem-solving attitude;
- Ability to hold team members accountable to tight deadlines
Skills Desired:
- Working knowledge of project management techniques such as LFA;
- Ability to facilitate meetings and coordinate the work of teams;
- Knowledge of and experience with grant-giving bodies and other external funding sources (e.g. European Commission);
What We Offer:
- Accommodation in a shared house.
- Transportation to/from work.
- After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, small monthly expenses refund.
We believe that a good proposal must embody the spirit of the organization and the cause it is asking funding for. In order for this to happen, the successful candidate will be encouraged to join us on the ground and immerse themselves in our work. In addition to coordinating the grant team (not a full time position), your participation could take on many forms, from support in the education programs to the delivery of workshops and expeditions with the Youth Scouts – we look forward to hearing your ideas on how best to apply your skills in this context. By coming here, you would gain first-hand experience of the situation on the ground, working in a grassroots organization with a small but dedicated team. This immersion will give you a solid sense of our work, our mission and our approach – which would facilitate your ability to attract supporters.
We have two volunteer houses that can host up to nine people where long-term volunteers are accommodated. Some volunteers choose to rent their own accommodation. In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the volunteer houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the volunteer houses are full, this would allow us to offer a volunteering opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.
We encourage applicants to join us in person, but if this is not possible we will consider remote applications for this role.
NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.
How to apply
Please send the following to Giovanni Fontana: volunteers @ secondtree .org
1) Your CV
2) Your cover letter
3) Copy of your qualifications (If applicable)
In your mail, please:

6) At the end of the email, copy-paste the link of the ad you are responding to
If the application includes all of these we will get back to you in a maximum of 48hs.
We challenge the biases that make us see refugees as “the other”. We change the way society perceives refugees, and refugees perceive society.

- Becoming more digitally smart and connected
As a Trustee, you’ll play a vital role in helping us achieve these goals and ensuring we stay true to our mission and values.
Whether you’re an experienced Trustee or completely new to the role, what matters most to us is your enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to supporting communities. We’re particularly keen to hear from people with a range of experiences and backgrounds—including younger people, people from minoritised groups, and those with lived experience of the challenges our communities face.
You don’t need to know everything from day one—we’ll support you with an induction, ongoing learning, and a friendly, collaborative Board environment.
Our number one requirement is simply a commitment to Action Hampshire’s mission and values. But we would also like you to have the following:
- A willingness to devote the necessary time and effort planning how the charity will deliver its charitable purpose
- Good, independent judgement
- An ability to think creatively
- A willingness to speak your mind, but listen to the views of others
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of being a Trustee (we can help you to understand that better – just ask us)
- An ability to work effectively as a member of a team
- A commitment to Nolan’s seven principles of public life: selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership
We work collaboratively in support of strong, connected and equitable communities.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

What are we looking for?
We're looking for enthusiastic, creative, and organised people from Plymouth and the surrounding areas to support the NSPCC with events and fundraising. Our Community Fundraising and Plymouth-based Together for Childhood teams are instrumental in promoting the work of the NSPCC across the area, and we are looking for amazing volunteers to support the teams and help promote our missions of bringing people together to raise awareness and funds that help protect children and prevent cruelty and abuse.
What will you be doing?
Volunteering in this role will mean you become a valued member of our volunteer network across Plymouth. You will support Community Fundraising by engaging with the public and local organisations, spreading the messages of the NSPCC, raising funds and just proudly representing what we stand for, and you will also take on a role of supporting and promoting our long-term Together for Childhood project at events within the community.
There are plenty of different opportunities when it comes to being a Friend of the NSPCC in Plymouth, so you can really make the role your own and support us in a way that works for you!
How regular is the volunteering?
This role is a flexible, 'as and when' volunteering opportunity with no regular time commitment required! We understand that life comes first, which is why this role can easily fit around you and your schedule. A commitment of a couple of hours a month is all we ask for, but if you would like to do more then we would love that too, and there are always plenty of ways to get involved!
What will you get from the role?
In this role, we'll support you with advice, skills and tools to help you raise awareness of and funds for the NSPCC. You'll learn more about how you're helping to protect children across the UK, specifically in Plymouth and the surrounding areas, and of course you will have the opportunity to grow your skills and confidence by volunteering in a number of different ways, whether this be attending events to promote the messaging of Together for Childhood, or doing some fundraising within your local area. It is also a wonderful opportunity to spend time and connect with like-minded individuals who want to do something positive within their community.

We are looking for individuals who are:
- Passionate about the NSPCC's mission to protect children and young people
