Norwich Pride is coming of age! 

We’re turning 18 in 2026 and to make it happen we need more volunteer Organisers. 

Can you write successful grant bids? Create sponsorship packages and work effectively with partner organisations?

Are you a good communicator, skilled across a range of software?

Are you local to Norwich and would you like to join the team that brings Norwich Pride to the city each year?

Our vision is to turn Norwich into a rainbow and you could be just who we are looking for to help us achieve that goal as our new ‘Head of Fundraising’.

Norwich Pride is a group of friendly, creative, enthusiastic volunteers from the local lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans (LGBTQIA+) community.

We organise Norwich Pride on the last Saturday each July. A free and community led event that helps to ensure Norwich is a city where everyone feels safe and proud to be themselves.

Project overview: 

Our Walking Group is designed to break down barriers to physical activity that people with mental health challenges may face. We offer a safe, friendly, and informal space for participants to “come as they are” — to enjoy time outdoors, connect with others, and, if they wish, talk openly about their mental health. 

Mind in Kingston is a local mental health charity that supports people living with mental health challenges and campaigns to raise awareness across Kingston and the surrounding areas. While affiliated to National Mind we operate independently to meet the needs of our local community. 

Volunteers are a vital part of our work. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of mental health challenges — whether your own, through supporting a friend or family member, or via professional experience. 

We value the wellbeing and development of our volunteers, offering: 

• Comprehensive training and supervision 

• Opportunities for skills development 

• Regular recognition through our volunteer awards programme 

• The chance to be part of a warm and supportive community, including staff, trustees, and other volunteers.

Mind in Kingston supports people with mental health issues and raises awareness within Kingston and surrounding areas. Volunteers are essential to our work, and we welcome applicants with lived experience of mental health challenges. We provide comprehensive training, supervision, and opportunities for career development. 

Volunteers are extremely valued within our team and a vital part of our service delivery. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life, including those who may have personal or professional experience of mental health. While lived experience can bring valuable perspective, it is not a requirement for volunteering with us. Our focus is on providing volunteers with the training, guidance, and supervision they need to feel confident in their roles and to develop their skills. Volunteers are supported to succeed and offered opportunities to connect with trustees, staff and other volunteers both professionally and socially. Above all, we value the contribution volunteers make to our community and are committed to recognising their achievements.

Main purpose of the role: 

• To encourage and motivate individuals to engage in regular outdoor activity, building their confidence and reducing isolation. 

• To create a supportive, inclusive walking environment that promotes both emotional and physical wellbeing. 

• To listen with empathy and signpost participants to appropriate services when needed. 

• To help ensure participants feel safe, welcome, and able to take part at their own pace. 

Tasks will include: 

• Facilitate group walks, ensuring all participants feel included and supported. 

• Promote a positive and respectful group atmosphere. 

• Offer empathetic listening during walks, without giving advice. 

• Signpost participants to local services and resources where relevant. 

• Raise safeguarding concerns promptly and complete safeguarding documentation as required. 

• Maintain regular communication with your supervisor via phone, email, or online platforms (Zoom/Teams). 

• Keep basic records for monitoring and evaluation purposes (e.g., attendance). 

• Attend training, supervision sessions, and volunteer meetings. 

• Contribute ideas to improve the walking group experience. 

What you will receive in return:

• Mental health awareness and boundaries 

• Adult safeguarding and local procedures 

• Any additional skills identified with your supervisor. 

• Regular one-to-one support and check-ins with your supervisor. 

• Development of transferable skills in communication, group facilitation, and community engagement. 

• The opportunity to make a positive difference in people’s lives. 

• References on completion of your volunteering commitment. 

• Reimbursement of reasonable expenses. 

What we expect from you: 

• A minimum commitment of 6 months, attending most scheduled walks and giving as much notice as possible if unable to attend. 

• Attendance and completion of all required training. 

• Adherence to our organisational policies and procedures, especially regarding confidentiality, safeguarding, equality & diversity, and health & safety. 

• Confidence in interacting with people experiencing mental health challenges, showing empathy, patience, and respect. 

• The ability to remain calm, solution-focused, and professional in challenging situations. 

• Proactivity in seeking guidance or support when needed. 

• A reasonable level of fitness so as to comfortably participate in weekly walks lasting approximately 2 hours. 

Application Process: 

• Two references will be required, one from a professional connection (e.g., employer, tutor). 

• An Enhanced DBS check will be carried out due to working with vulnerable adults. 

• Volunteers must be aged 18 or over. 

We ask volunteers for two references, one of which must come from someone who has supervised you recently in your work or studies, such as a current or previous employer or a tutor. You will also need to undergo an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, as you will be working with vulnerable adults. 

Support EcoCounts management with administrative tasks, keeping accurate records, and helping smooth operations.
