CoachBridge
We connect neurodivergent youth with affordable, AI-supported neuro-affirmative coaching and coach career pathways.
CoachBridge addresses rising inequalities in access to essential support for millions of neurodivergent youth who struggle with executive functions, often leading to dropout, underemployment, and poor mental health. Support is frequently unaffordable or inaccessible to those undiagnosed or marginalized. Simultaneously, newly trained coaches lack pathways to gain meaningful experience.
The solution is an AI-supported, accessible platform that connects neurodivergent youth with affordable, neuro-affirmative coaching. This practical support helps young people build motivation and life skills, bridging the gap for those excluded from clinical care. Concurrently, the platform serves as a career pathway for newly trained coaches, offering supervised experience, feedback, and certification support. Institutions partner with CoachBridge to fund access and track wellbeing outcomes. AI assists quietly with matching, reminders, and tracking, enhancing the human relationship. This inclusive, scalable model reduces inequalities and strengthens wellbeing across education and work.

- Validate CoachBridge’s value proposition
- Identify potential funding or pilot pathways
- Document key insights and objections to help us refine our offer and communications
- Recommend improvements to our pitch messaging for institutional buyers

About nurtureuk
At nurtureuk, we believe that every child and young person deserves to feel safe, understood and supported to flourish at school, emotionally, socially, and academically. But for many, school can be a difficult place, especially for those who’ve experienced trauma, adversity or unmet emotional needs.
For over 50 years, we’ve been pioneers in nurturing approaches to support social emotional development, using a tried-and-tested framework that helps children and young people build the confidence, resilience, and sense of belonging they need to succeed in education and in life.
Our work transforms school environments so that they are truly inclusive, supportive and safe spaces. We train teachers and school leaders, and deliver evidence-based programmes that strengthen wellbeing across whole school communities, as well as improving attendance and reducing exclusions- because the children enjoy being in school!
At the core of our work is the Boxall Profile®, our unique, award winning and Department for Education recommended assessment tool. It helps teachers understand what lies behind a child’s behaviour; the hidden emotional needs, the gaps in development, the things a test score could never show. By shining a light on what each child needs to feel secure, the Boxall Profile empowers educators to respond with empathy, not punishment, and to nurture every child’s potential.
Behind every report and dataset is a story:
A child who finally feels safe and excited to walk into class.
A teacher who sees progress and growth where there used to be only frustration.
A family who begins to believe that things can get better.
By joining us as a Volunteer Grant Support Officer, you’ll be helping make these stories possible, securing the funds that enable us to reach more schools, support more teachers, and change more children’s lives.
See our attached evidence brochure to learn more about the impact our work has.

Key responsibilities include:
-
Researching new funding opportunities aligned with nurtureuk’s mission and programmes
-
Writing persuasive, high-quality funding applications and accompanying documents
-
Maintaining a pipeline of opportunities and tracking application progress
-
Helping to build a library of core fundraising materials and case studies
-
Utilising our bank of supporting evidence, data and testimonials to strengthen proposals

An excellent writer who enjoys crafting persuasive and engaging text, ideally with previous experience of writing successful grant or funding applications

Q+ Collective
We provide consulting, training, and capacity-building to help queer and trans-led organizations grow safely.
Q+ Collective addresses the systemic barriers faced by queer and trans leaders, which include underfunded organizations, discriminatory policies, and a lack of affirming leadership infrastructure. These structural inequities, particularly for those at the intersections of race and class, limit their access to funding, resources, and influence, ultimately weakening community power and representation in decision-making spaces.
The solution is a consulting and capacity-building hub led by and for queer and trans people.
