�� Calling Social Impact Influencers – Help Us Change How The UK Gives ��

We’re building something different.

Unify Giving allows donors to directly support individuals experiencing homelessness, domestic violence, and financial crisis — with full transparency, dignity, and trust. 100% of donations go straight to the person in need.

But to reach more people, we need voices. Real voices.

That’s why we’re building our Social Impact Influencer Squad — a network of mission-driven creators and storytellers who want to use their platforms to help us grow, reach new donors, and expand our recipient base across the UK.

✅ Who we’re looking for:

• Individuals with 5k+ engaged followers (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube etc.)

• Passionate about social impact, homelessness, domestic violence support, or financial inclusion

• Want to use your voice to help real people — directly

✅ What you’ll do:

• Help share our mission with your community

• Highlight stories of individuals we support (all fully anonymised and approved)

• Be part of a new model for giving — one that puts dignity and transparency first

✅ Why it matters:

Every share helps us expand, onboard more charity partners, and reach individuals who urgently need support. This isn’t just charity — it’s a whole new infrastructure for giving.

If this sounds like you, we’d love to chat ��

Join Our Board: Shape the Future of the Climate Movement

Are you passionate about addressing the climate crisis through evidence, advocacy, and global collaboration? We are The Climate Crisis Advisory Group (“CCAG”) - a mission-driven, science-based climate change organization seeking new Board members to strengthen our impact. CCAG is the operating name of Climate Response Limited (“CRL”) a UK company registered with the Charities Commission. You would be a Board member for CRL as the company under which the CCAG brand operates.

CCAG is at the forefront of the climate conversation, guiding public, governmental, and institutional understanding of the crisis. CCAG’s global experts distil complex science into actionable insights, fostering informed decisions that help educate and influence audiences around the world.

CCAG’s strategies come to life through a broad spectrum of activities. For example, CCAG advisors unravel climate complexities through public online discussions, free publicly available in-depth reports, strategic campaigns, and in-person briefings on request.

See our work here: Climate Crisis Advisory Group

What we’re looking for

Our current Board brings deep expertise in leadership, finance, and strategic direction. Now, we’re looking to complement this with specific skills and lived experience—particularly from those who can help amplify our voice, reach new audiences, and deepen our global relevance.

This is a great opportunity for first-time Board members.

We’re especially interested in candidates with experience or skills in:

• Experience of working within the Global South or working across cultures and disciplines.

You don’t need prior Board experience—just a commitment to science-based climate action and a willingness to contribute your time, skills, and perspective to help us tackle one of the greatest challenges of our time. 

This is an unremunerated voluntary Trustee role and, like all UK charity trustees, you’ll take on some important responsibilities for overseeing the charity’s work. But you won’t be doing it alone—you’ll be joining a supportive Board with experienced members who will guide you as you learn. 

What’s in it for You?

• The opportunity to be a driving force in the fight against climate change and leave a lasting legacy for future generations.

• Learn leadership and governance skills while contributing to a cause with global significance.

• Connect with other professionals in the environmental and climate sectors.

Your Commitment:

We work remotely and Board meetings are held 3 times a year online. Board members are expected to commit approximately 1 day per month.

How to Apply:

If you are ready to make a meaningful impact on the climate crisis, please send your CV and a brief cover letter outlining why you’re interested in joining the Board of Climate Response Limited by 22nd August 2025. We are also available to answer any questions you might have.

We look forward to hearing from you!
