About us:
The Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) is one of the largest immigration and asylum advice charities in the UK, supporting refugees, asylum seekers and vulnerable migrants to access justice. An OISC level 3 accredited organisation, we represent clients at all stages of the immigration and asylum process, up to and including the Upper Tribunal of the Immigration and Asylum Chamber.
We also actively campaign for a fairer and more humane immigration system. RAMFEL caseworkers therefore have the opportunity to work on systemic and strategic challenges and support broader advocacy work.
We particularly welcome and encourage applications from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic individuals, and those who are migrants or refugees, and who have lived experience of the impact of UK immigration policy and/or of rough sleeping. This includes individuals with direct experience or experience gained through supporting family members with the challenges posed by immigration and asylum practices- those who have been or could have been clients of RAMFEL.
Purpose of the role:
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that the Refugee and Migrant Forum of Essex and London (RAMFEL) achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that RAMFEL has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the CEO and senior management to enable us to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
Board members have a collective responsibility. This means that trustees always act as a group and not as individuals.
Duties:
- Support and provide advice on RAMFEL’s purpose, vision, goals and activities.
- Review and approve organisation strategies and policies, and monitor and evaluate their effective and efficient implementation.
- Oversee RAMFEL’s financial plans, budgets, and statements, and monitor and evaluate progress
- Ensure that key risks are being identified, monitored and controlled effectively.
- Provide support and challenge to RAMFEL’s management team in the exercise of their delegated authority and affairs.
- Keep abreast of changes in RAMFEL’s operating environment.
- Contribute to regular reviews of RAMFEL’s own governance.
- Contribute to the broader promotion of RAMFEL’s objects, aims and reputation by applying your skills, expertise, knowledge and contacts.
As a small charity, there will be times when trustees will need to be actively involved beyond Board meetings and sub-committees. This may involve providing advice and guidance on new initiatives, reviewing or advising on operational documents (e.g. operational and business plans, new team structures, outreach and engagement events) or other issues in which the trustee has special expertise.
What we are looking for
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our board. We are furthermore particularly looking for those who can contribute one or more of the following:
- Migrants or refugees, who have lived experience of the impact of immigration policy and practice
- Expertise in RAMFEL’s core service delivery, especially regarding advice, immigration or legal services
- Networking and fundraising ability
- Experience of campaigning and/or external communications
- Organisational and administrative skills
Previous governance experience is desirable but not essential and we will provide a full induction to the organisation and the workings of the Board.
This is a fully voluntary and unpaid position. Reasonable expenses will be reimbursement.
Please refer to the job description for more details and application instructions.
If you are interested in the Trustee role and would like more information, we would be pleased to arrange an informal discussion with our CEO or one of our current Trustees.
We will only be shortlisting candidates who have submitted a CV and a cover letter explaining their interest in the role will be shortlisted.
Shortlisted candidates will first participate in an informal chat, followed by a formal panel interview.
RAMFEL is a charity that supports vulnerable migrants to access justice and that provides vital support in moments of individual crisis.

We are committed to making our recruitment process accessible. If you need information in an alternative format or adjustments at any stage, please contact us —we’d love to hear how we can support you.

Join Us as a Trustee and Help Change the Story for Bladder Sufferers!
For over 30 years, Bladder Health UK has stood shoulder to shoulder with people living with bladder illness - offering trusted information, expert guidance, and a compassionate ear. But right now, the need for our work is greater than ever.
Across the UK, bladder sufferers are being left behind. 6% of women in England suffer with Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs). 25% of all antibiotic prescriptions are for UTIs. Waiting times to see a Urologist stretch up to 12 months. Post-COVID, continence clinics have been cut, GP access is harder than ever, and too many people are left feeling dismissed, misdiagnosed, or even medically gaslit.
This is where we step in - and where you could too.
What We Do
We are a lifeline. Every day, we:
- Respond to emails and calls from people in distress, providing evidence-based guidance that cuts through fear and confusion.
- Offer practical advice and emotional support grounded in real-world experience - helping sufferers manage symptoms, understand treatment options, and regain a sense of control.
- Deliver dynamic, expert-led webinars and events that translate cutting-edge medical insight into accessible, empowering information for both sufferers and professionals.
- Drive research that keeps the patient voice at the heart of innovation - shaping future care through real stories, real data, and real need.
- Campaign tirelessly for change - working with healthcare providers, policymakers and the NHS to push bladder health up the agenda and improve standards of care.
Why This Matters Now
Bladder illness remains one of the most overlooked areas of healthcare - yet its impact is often life-altering. Pain, exhaustion, mental distress, and isolation are common. And now, troubling trends are emerging.
People are being passed from pharmacy to pharmacy, denied GP appointments, misdiagnosed or ignored. Infections recur. Antibiotic resistance grows. Clinics close. Continence support disappears. Patient choice is eroded. This isn’t just a system under strain - it’s a system leaving people behind.
At Bladder Health UK, we don’t accept that. We support individuals - and we challenge the system. We’re here to advocate, educate, and fight for better. But we can’t do it alone.
The Opportunity
We’re seeking bold, committed individuals to join our Board of Trustees and help drive our next chapter.
This is more than a governance role. It’s a chance to be part of something urgent, ambitious, and deeply needed. You’ll help shape the future of a national charity that punches far above its weight. You’ll bring your skills, insight, and passion to a team determined to make a real, tangible difference.
We welcome applicants from all sectors - private, clinical, public, or voluntary. Whether you’re an experienced trustee or completely new to the role, what matters most is your commitment to our mission.
We’re especially keen to hear from people with experience in:
- Fundraising (individual giving, trusts and foundations, or community fundraising)
- Marketing, branding, and communications
- Campaigning, influencing, or lobbying
- Medical practice – including GPs, Urologists, Urology Nurses, or Allied Health Professionals
If you can:
· Think strategically and creatively
· Communicate clearly and sensitively in large group discussions
· Use independent judgement to make decisions on behalf of the organisation
· Be committed to our mission, vision and values
· Attend four trustee meetings per year via Teams and our charity AGM in person
· Attend and assist at our annual conference
· Commit to a minimum term of two years
Applications to be submitted by email.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Role description:
The Robin Cancer Trust is the UK’s only testicular, ovarian and germ cell cancer charity, and our mission is to save lives. Our vision is to reach every young person in the UK with our life-saving cancer campaigns, and we are looking for new trustees from across the UK to work alongside our staff to make this a reality!
Our impact:
• We educate young people to give them the best chance of surviving these cancers.
• We engage young people with humour to break the stigma of talking about these cancers.
• We empower young people affected by these cancers to thrive.
Our values:
• Respect: Not only for the important work we undertake, but also the people who support our mission. We believe in open, honest, and empathetic communication between ourselves and to our community.
• Creativity: We are a small team with a big vision – in order to drive the change we want to see in the world, we must innovate, disrupt and experiment.
• Trust: We are accountable to each other & our beneficiaries. We are responsible for upholding these values and the quality of work we undertake – and will do so with integrity at all times.
If our mission, vision, and values inspire you and resonate with you, please apply to join our Board of Trustees – we want to hear from you.
What we’re looking for…
We believe in letting our community lead us - and we hope to build a board that reflects this.
Whether you’re an established leader in your field, or an aspiring leader looking to gain experience; whether you’ve been directly affected by testicular, ovarian or germ cell cancer, or are passionate about supporting the cancer community; whether you have years of experience in the charity sector, or have been inspired by our mission to give back – we want you to help lead our charity, and work with the staff team to help us reach a diverse nationwide audience with our life-saving cancer awareness, education and support programmes.
We know we are not as diverse as we want to be, so we are actively searching for people who share our passion for our mission, with different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, to collectively make a difference.
We’re particularly interested in hearing from you if you have experience in any of the following:
- Marketing and Brand.
- Fundraising across different income streams, with a particular interest in Corporate, Events, and developing new income streams.
What’s in it for you?
You will be driving forward change, helping make our vision become a reality, and directly impacting the lives of young people across the country affected by germ cell cancers. In short, you will help save lives.
You will gain invaluable knowledge in strategic planning – helping us identify new opportunities for growth, as well as facing the challenges that occur in an ever-evolving sector. You will develop skills in new areas – working closely with other members of the board and the staff team to deliver our key objectives. You will also have the chance to learn from new experiences – having the opportunity to take part in our networking, fundraising events, and awareness activities in the community.
Don’t just take our word for it, here are some quotes from current and past trustees (we promise we didn’t make them say this…)
● ‘It's a privilege to be a Trustee – an awesome experience that I’d highly recommend’
● ‘I feel lucky to be a Trustee of such a brilliant charity’
● ‘It's amazing to see the impact and how far we've come in such a short amount of time’
● ‘It's not all give - you get a lot back and are always learning and challenging yourself’
● ‘It feels like being part of a community with colleagues building a movement, not a charity’
The commitment from you...
Your passion, experience, knowledge (and time).We ask our trustees to commit to a monthly virtual meeting (approx. 1.5 hours), along with a few hours per month to support the staff team and deliver strategic goals. This is a minimum, but often trustees commit to take on additional responsibilities within projects, or within their specialities.
How do I apply?
We are supporting anonymous recruitment for this role, so please apply below by submitting your CV, and your covering letter – which is your opportunity to tell us all about yourself, your experiences, your knowledge, and most importantly your passion for our cause and why you want to be a trustee of The Robin Cancer Trust.

Age UK Plymouth exists to care for and work with older people and their carers in and around the city of Plymouth to improve their quality of life through the promotion of choice, opportunity and independence.
We’re looking to expand our dedicated team of Trustees to support the next stage of our work in Plymouth and we’re seeking individuals who are passionate about our vision, mission and values.
Trustees hold independent control and legal responsibility for the charity’s management and administration, working together as a board to make strategic, high-level decisions.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in fundraising, marketing and communications, HR, finance, public sector commissioning, or digital/IT. However, if your background lies elsewhere and you’re passionate about our mission, we’d still love to hear from you.
The role requires a time commitment of around one day per month, which includes meeting preparation and attendance, strategy days, and supporting your team in your area of expertise.
