Volunteer Chair – The Lysene Cultural Foundation

Ladies and Gentlemen, lovers of classical beauty,

We are embarking on an extraordinary journey with the creation of The Lysene Cultural Foundation, a new charitable organisation dedicated to advancing public understanding of Renaissance, Beaux‑Arts, and classical artistic traditions. As we prepare for our formal launch, we are seeking a founding Chair to join us and guide this vision into reality.

The Foundation exists because we believe that beauty is a public good—a force that enriches lives, strengthens communities, and connects us to our shared cultural heritage. Inspired by the artistic world of the Principality of Lys, a micronation devoted to classical aesthetics, ornament, and craftsmanship, the Foundation brings this cultural vision to the public through accessible programmes, exhibitions, and educational initiatives.

In an age of rapid change, classical beauty offers continuity and elevation. Our mission is simple yet profound: to make classical beauty accessible to all.

About the Role

We are seeking a volunteer Chair who will:

• Lead on the setup, governance, and early strategic direction of the Foundation.

• Guide us through the launch phase, helping shape our public identity and cultural programmes.

• Work collaboratively with trustees, advisors, and creative partners.

• Dedicate approximately 4–8 hours per month, with full flexibility around schedule and involvement.

• Bring passion, leadership, and a commitment to cultural heritage and artistic excellence.

This is a rare opportunity to help build a new cultural institution from the ground up, one that seeks to preserve the elegance of the past, celebrate the creativity of the present, and inspire the artists of the future.

Our Vision

The Lysene Cultural Foundation will open the doors of Lys to the world, not as a political entity, but as a cultural vision rooted in harmony, ornament, and human creativity. Through exhibitions, research, educational programmes, and artistic support, we aim to create a living legacy of art, architecture, and craftsmanship.

An Invitation

If you share our belief in the enduring power of beauty and wish to play a defining role in shaping a new charitable foundation, we would be honoured to speak with you.

Together, we can ensure that the timeless ideals of classical art continue to flourish in the modern age.

URBAN YOUTH — REMOTE VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR OUR LAUNCH CREW

Help build a street‑level movement from behind the scenes.

Urban Youth is a brand new start‑up charity bringing street-based youth work, pop-ups, and high‑energy support to young people across London. We’re taking over unused spaces, showing up where teens actually are, and building fast, flexible provision that feels more like a drop than a service.

But before we hit the streets, we need a remote crew — the architects, organisers, creatives, and problem-solvers who can help us get launch‑ready.

If you want to be part of something bold from day one, this is your moment.

Join the Remote Founding Team

These roles are perfect for people who want to contribute from home, around work, study, or life. No long-term commitment, just meaningful, high-impact tasks that help us get Urban Youth off the ground.

We’re looking for:

• Fundraising & Bid Support Assist with research, drafting, and shaping early funding applications to fuel our launch.

• Project & Planning Assistants Work with our leadership team to organise tasks, timelines, and launch milestones.

Why Volunteer Remotely With Urban Youth?

Because you’ll be part of the origin story — the team that existed before the pop-ups, before the street teams, before the noise.

You’ll help create:

• The systems that make our street work possible

• The brand identity young people will recognise

• The strategy that guides our first year

• The momentum that turns an idea into a movement

Volunteering with us means:

• Flexible, remote tasks

• Short-term, high-impact opportunities

• Being part of a founding crew

• Real influence on how Urban Youth takes shape

• A chance to build something meaningful for young people who need it most

Our mission is to advise, educate and empower women by:

• Providing women with free, confidential legal advice by specialist women solicitors and barristers

What difference will you make?
For decades, our volunteers have been at the heart of Rights of Women’s advice lines. They provide trusted legal guidance, compassionate support and reassurance to women navigating complex and distressing legal situations, often during some of the most difficult periods of their working and family lives.

“I have been a volunteer with Rights of Women since September 2003, which possibly makes me one of the longest-serving telephone advisors on the evening helpline; in a way this speaks for itself! The helpline is an indispensable service and many women have told me that they consider it a lifeline.”

“Dealing with the legal system is often a source of great anxiety, uncertainty and confusion. I have spoken with many women in very difficult situations. It is important that they know that we are here for the and it is rewarding to help.”
