Deafblind UK members have combined sight and hearing loss and many can feel lonely or socially isolated. We offer a free telephone befriending service where we match volunteers with one of our members to have a weekly 30 minute chat together.
We are looking for confident, empathetic and friendly people who can hold a good conversation. You could be chatting about similar interests or learning about each other’s lives. Whatever the conversation you’ll be having a positive impact.
One 30 minute call seems really simple but having someone to talk to and someone to listen, could really make a difference to our members. It could be that you’re the only person they speak to that day, or even that week.
Our members love to chat with people who have had some life experience and stories to tell. You will need good communication skills and be able to strike up a conversation. You will also need to be reliable, patient with a naturally warm and friendly nature.
We will ensure you are supported throughout your journey with us, offering training and support at all times.
We support people who have combined sight and hearing loss which affects their access to information, mobility and communication.

The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Opportunity to join The Restart Project’s board of trustees
As we embark on implementing our newly formed strategy, we are looking for a finance trustee who can support us by connecting our ambitious goals with financial realities.
Our vision is by 2035, we’ve helped to end the throwaway production and consumption of electrical products. With systemic support, repair and reuse is easier, cheaper and more rewarding for all.
In 2025 we are winning the argument and are now entering a new phase of doing the ‘hard yards’ of getting our ideas implemented. This requires an evolution of our funding model. At the same time, working with companies – who are both part of the problem and part of the solution – poses special challenges for us to get right.
So we are now seeking a committed individual who shares our excitement and can help us realise the opportunities by serving as our finance trustee.
Who are we looking for?
The role would suit an individual looking to support the growth of a small charity, moving us beyond our 10 employees and further strengthening our finance and strategic approaches.
Having trustees with a mix of backgrounds, approaches and perspectives leads to better decision-making. We believe that a governance and accountability structure enriched by multiple voices and intersectional expertise, leads to more thoughtful, informed, just and liberatory strategies, decisions, and practices.
The finance trustee will take the lead at board level on:
-
Advise on developing our business model and diversify earned and granted funding sources
-
Monitoring and advising on the financial viability of the charity
-
Working with staff to develop a three year business plan, our annual budgets and preparing for the yearly reporting to the Charity Commission
-
Keeping the Board informed about its financial duties and responsibilities
Responsibilities as a board member
As well as the finance trustee specific responsibilities above, board members collectively:
-
Contribute in giving strategic direction to the charity, setting overall strategy and policy, setting targets and evaluating performance against agreed targets
-
Ensure the charity applies its resources exclusively in pursuing its objectives
-
Ensure the effective and efficient administration of the charity
-
Safeguard the good name and values of the charity
-
Declare any conflict of interest while carrying out the duties of a trustee
-
Are responsible for the actions of the charity
-
Participate in other tasks as arise from time to time when possible, such as interviewing new staff, helping with fundraising etc.
-
Attend quarterly meetings and read papers in preparation for the meeting
-
Keep informed about the activities of the charity and wider issues which affect its work
-
Be available to staff for advice and enquiries on an ad hoc basis
Person specification
We are seeking a finance trustee who has the following:
-
Experience in business growth and financial management, ideally with a recognised accountancy or management qualification
-
Understanding of charity finance
-
A commitment to Restart’s vision, mission and values
-
Willingness to devote the time and effort needed to fulfil the role
-
A commitment to equity, diversity and inclusion, and to contributing to a positive working culture

BoB Trustee Specification- June 2025
Build on Belief is a charity dedicated to helping people who have, or have had issues with drugs and alcohol use, working to improve and sustain their health and wellbeing in order they can recover to lead fulfilling lives. Bring your experience and skills to become a voluntary trustee for a growing and innovative organisation and help make a difference across diverse communities in London and the South-East. If you’ve experience in the health care sector and perhaps even your own lived experience, then you could help us take the organisation forward.
What you will be doing
Along with other members of the Board, you will be responsible for providing the strategic and practical governance of an enthusiastic and innovative organisation. As a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation for people with histories of drug and alcohol problems we are a pioneering and innovative charity.
BoB helps build the “social capital’ of people who are on a journey of recovery from histories of alcohol, illicit or prescribed drugs. Many of our service users and volunteers across our ten London and South-East projects have associated mental and physical health problems, along with histories of homelessness and unemployment.
We largely operate a structure where we recruit volunteers from our service users, and our managers from our volunteer pool, once trained. Our CEO, most managers and some members of the Board have lived experience, and many have been through the drug and alcohol treatment system. This ‘unique’ structure, we believe, gives a high level of peer led understanding of needs and responses.
In terms of key responsibilities, trustees are expected to:
-
Attend and contribute to Board (six evening meetings (2hrs) a year at Earls Court and/or online) and related meetings and share in decision making about all significant issues that impact on BoB.
-
Work with the Chief Executive and senior leadership team to practically support and develop the design and operation of new areas of service delivery as well as providing input and oversight to help everyday operations.
-
Ensure that as a diverse Lived Experience Recovery Organisation, trustees continue to keep the interests and needs of those recovering from addiction at the forefront of governance.
-
Develop and regularly monitor the implementation of BoB’s strategy.
-
Oversee BoB’s work, ensuring accountability, strategically managing finances and risks, protecting charity assets, adopting and updating policies and procedures so they are fit for purpose and that the charities resources are used efficiently and effectively.
-
Act as custodian of BoB’s values and long-term future, ensuring that the organisation is complying with its constitution, and is managed prudently and lawfully.
-
Using contacts and networks to help BoB grow and develop and to be an active ambassador for the organisation.
-
Other duties required and expected of a Trustee/Company Director, including ad-hoc task groups and very occasional weekend visits to services across London and the South-East of England.
What we are looking for
Our Trustee Board comprises people who have good skills and experience in financial operations, corporate strategic marketing and communications, health care, HR, information technology and legal matters. However, we are at a stage of development where we wish to broaden and strengthen our governance with an additional trustee who has a background as an experienced health care practitioner, to join us on a voluntary basis to help take the organisation forward.
If you’ve experience as a health care sector practitioner, then you could make a significant contribution to our development.
We are open to a variety of professional health care backgrounds, including:
-
Experience in health care, clinical or public health, ideally in the fields of drug and alcohol addictions, primary care or mental health.
-
Experience as a registered doctor, nurse or psychologist.
-
Familiarity of services and interventions aimed at supporting people with complex needs.
We are very open to bringing on board people who can support us becoming a more inclusive organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals from diverse ethnic backgrounds, women and other underrepresented groups, including those with disabilities and from LGBTQI communities. We are also very open to recruiting someone who may have their own lived experience of addictions and adversity to draw upon. What counts will be your enthusiasm, commitment, competence and interest in taking on a trustee and governance role.
We seek a trustee who can collaborate at governance and staff level, and work effectively with others across our organisation, in person and, where appropriate, remotely.
Qualities Required
Trustees are expected to:
-
Share BoB’s values and aspirations along with having empathy with those seeking to rebuild their lives from histories of problem substance use.
-
Have the expertise, skills, life experience and personal qualities to help form an effective and diverse Board.
-
Roll up their sleeves to provide practical support to the CEO and leadership team to achieve our strategy.
-
Demonstrate a willingness to adhere to the BoB Code of Conduct.
-
Be able to fully discharge the legal requirements of being a trustee and company director.
What difference will you make?
We are looking for a volunteer trustee to join us on our Board of Trustees/Directors that currently meets once every two months on the first Tuesday evening of the month between 6:00pm and 8pm, usually face-to-face meetings In Earls Court.
The impact we look to you and other trustees to make includes:
-
better strategic development and governance oversight
-
taking on a lead oversight role for specific initiatives (eg: health and wellbeing of staff, volunteers & service users; organisational developments such as social prescribing, harm reduction efforts; safeguarding))
-
helping forge new partnerships with others to support the implementation of our strategy
-
using your practical skills and experience to support our small central staff team
-
helping raise the profile of BoB with potential supporters and funders. We want to demonstrate the contribution that peer run social support can make to tackling the stigma that goes with drug and alcohol problems.
-
delivering on our commitment to having more diversity and voices from different cultures in our leadership
What's in it for the volunteer?
This role offers a good opportunity for someone interested in a grass-roots South-East based charity, getting Board experience, or for someone new to senior management or a new charity. With us you will be able to add real value and have a crucial input using your interest and skills to help the organisation flourish and develop and reach new ‘audiences’.
Much is made of the idea of co-production but at BoB we take this one step further by enabling peer support. By joining our Board, you can bring your professional and/or personal experience to nurture and enthuse people recovering from drug and alcohol problems to reach out and support others, using their talents and interests.
A few more details on application process
Our deadline for applications is Monday 30 June.
-
Please submit a CV with a covering letter which must address three questions (see below).
-
We aim to be flexible with interview dates, to include early evenings but aim to hold them during the summer.

About Build on Belief
Objectives
Build on Belief (BoB) is a Lived Experience Recovery Organisation (LERO), registered as a charity that is changing the face of the drug and alcohol treatment and the recovery system in London and the Southeast. Our services are run by people who have had their own experiences of drug and alcohol addiction and understand not only what it’s like first-hand, but also the struggle people often have to reach and maintain recovery. After all, who is better placed to understand what someone with substance use issues is going through than someone who has been there themselves?
Socially focused activities
As the addiction lifestyle can be all-consuming, it’s also important to find new interests that help to fill the void many people are faced with in early recovery. With this in mind BoB runs a range of sports, art and music workshops and clubs that provide the opportunity to try something new, meet new people, have fun and maybe even fulfil a lifelong ambition to play in a rock and roll band or try out yoga. We provide an open-minded and supportive atmosphere that gives people the confidence to try out new activities and find a sense of purpose and belonging. Often people who come along to our ten local social clubs across London, Sussex and now Buckinghamshire feel a sense of belonging they have not had for a long time, if ever. Some of us feel like we are part of a family.
All of our drop-in services run at the weekend and some during the week. Where we can, we aim to give our service users access to opportunities such as: music workshops, sports clubs, arts, alternative therapies, food and drink, gardening and allotments and a strong sense of community. We also run a recovery café, CBT support group and sports clubs during the week and on-line offer LGBTQI support groups. With nearly 40% of our service users being people from diverse ethnic communities we are very keen to see that our volunteers, staff and trustees reflect the diversity where we work.
To complement these local peer-led social activities we have also developed an on-line programme to support peoples’ recovery journey. Whether its Recovery Support sessions offered 6 days a week, quizzes and games, hands on creative groups (Art Together, Creative Writing, Play Reading) or other well-being focused groups (Yoga, Mindfulness, Tai-Chi and more).
Music workshops, sports clubs, arts, alternative therapies, food and drink, and a strong sense of community are just some of the things on offer to anyone who visits us.
Our deadline for applications is Monday 30 June.
