Rideshare Group

Rideshare Group is a network of niche carpooling platforms designed to reduce carbon emissions, increase transport accessibility, and foster stronger community connections.

Mobility Rideshare Football Rideshare Mountain Rideshare Festival Rideshare Surf Rideshare

By enabling people with empty seats in their vehicles to easily share rides with others travelling to the same destination, we directly address issues of sustainability, affordability, and social inclusion.

Our platform serves diverse communities — from outdoor enthusiasts (Mountain Rideshare, Surf Rideshare), to sports fans (Football Rideshare), to cultural event participants (Festival Rideshare). In addition, we actively work to include passengers with mobility challenges or disabilities who often face limited transport options, particularly in rural or underserved areas. By making carpooling more accessible for disabled individuals, we help remove barriers to social participation, employment, healthcare, and recreation.

Beyond the environmental benefits of reducing single-occupancy vehicle use and lowering CO₂ emissions, Rideshare Group contributes to more affordable, inclusive, and sustainable transportation solutions that strengthen both local and regional communities across Europe.

Driving alone is inefficient, expensive, and unsustainable.

70%+ of car journeys in the EU/UK are single-occupancy Rising fuel costs and climate concerns

Public transport often doesn’t reach remote destinations like mountains, festivals, or surf spots

Safety concerns and lack of trust in generic carpooling options

Rideshare Group A family of COMMUNITY SPECIFIC carpooling platforms designed to connect like-minded travellers with shared destinations… SUSTAINABLY!

Looking forward to connecting with people who would help DRIVE the Rideshare project forward!

Endometriosis UK is the largest UK charity for those with endometriosis. Endometriosis UK works to:

• Provide support to those with endometriosis and their families and friends
• Provide clear, objective information about the condition and its treatments
• Raise awareness amongst health professionals and the general public about the condition
• Support research into endometriosis.

This is an unpaid role. Reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be paid.

Time commitment:

• five Trustee Board meetings a year, including preparation for meetings, reading papers etc; and attendance at an annual strategy day and AGM (held on the same days as Board meetings). Three meetings are held in person on London on a Saturday, with two meetings being virtual evening meetings.
• Trustees have the opportunity to take part in Board sub-groups and project groups to develop aspects of the organisations’ work. Current sub-groups include the Finance Committee and Diversity & Inclusion Sub-Group.

Trustees are also invited to attend Endometriosis UK events.

We are currently recruiting for ONE NEW TRUSTEE to join the board. We are particularly looking for significant experience of charity governance, management and best practice. Examples of how this might have been gained include having worked at a senior level in a charity, or previous trustee experience.

If you are keen to join the Endometriosis UK Board and don’t have this experience, there will be further opportunities over the next year as we will be recruiting for more trustees as Board members reach their maximum length of service. Keep an eye on our social media for more information.

Personal experience of living with, or having a close family member with, endometriosis, is vital on our Board. Whilst we look favourably on applications from those in the endometriosis community, we already have Trustees with first hand lived experience and new trustees do not need to have endometriosis.

We also particularly welcome applications from trustees from a range of backgrounds and experiences as part of our commitment to diversity.
