Boost Up is a new youth homelessness charity that works to help young people who are homeless, or at risk of homelessness in London find accommodation and create a safe home. Too many young people experience homelessness as they cannot afford the market rent for housing and are priced out of the market.
Our organisation’s role is to address this in part through providing a ‘Boost Up’ payment, a time limited monthly payment that covers the disparity between the housing benefit rate and the market rate, allowing those who normally lack financial support to live in the city, as well as acting as a non-profit gurantor service. This is especially the case for those who are younger who are only entitled to a very low level of Benefits. We also work with clients to take steps into employment and become financially independent within one year affording the rent themselves.
To join the Board of Trustees you should have a passion to help those who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, an understanding of the issues faced by homeless people and the difficulties they experience in accessing services that are fully responsive to their needs. You should have the drive and desire to enable Boost Up to deliver for its stakeholders and drive it forward.

· A willingness to bring energy, enthusiasm, to listen to others and share your views and opinions, and broaden the diversity of thinking on our board
· An ability to work effectively as a member of a team
· An understanding of and/or experience of working within one of the following roles: Safeguarding, housing or homelessness support, fundraising, financial management, marketing, digital skills, legal or governance.
· Lived experience of homelessness or experience as a service user is desirable but not essential in order to understand the issues and challenges facing clients.
· Experience of being a Trustee, ideally in the third sector, and an understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee is desirable but not essential.
Key Responsibilities:
Attend 6 board meetings per year and contribute actively, providing guidance and oversight on the organisation's strategic direction and delivery of its aims and objectives.

At Staying Well we run a Telephone Befriending Scheme.
If you have up to an hour free once a week for 6 months then this could be the volunteer role for you!
This is what the Befriending Network say about befriending:
“Everyone needs other people, but not everyone has someone.
Befriending offers supportive, reliable relationships through volunteer befrienders to people who would otherwise be socially isolated. Around the UK, there are befriending projects which organise effective support for children and young people, families, people with mental ill-health, people with learning disabilities and older people, amongst many others.
The results of befriending can be very significant. Befriending often provides people with a new direction in life, opens up a range of activities and leads to increased self-esteem and self confidence. Befriending can also reduce the burden on other services which people may use inappropriately as they seek social contact.”

Tai Impact is an innovative organisation known for its enabling environment for local and international young people to thrive. It has provided over 500 opportunities for local and international students since its inception in 2013. It embraces diversity, creativity, fun and servant leadership. It has received several awards for its innovative ways of solving community challenges that affect marginalized communities.
In Tanzania, nearly 37% of girls are married before the age of 18, leading to several serious consequences. Early marriage often disrupts education, causing girls to drop out of school and limiting their future opportunities, thereby perpetuating poverty. Child brides face significant health risks, including complications from early pregnancies and childbirth, and are more vulnerable to sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Economic dependence on spouses limits their financial independence and decision-making power. They are at higher risk of domestic violence and abuse, with severe psychological impacts such as depression and anxiety. This cycle perpetuates intergenerational poverty and reinforces social inequality by limiting girls' and women's ability to participate fully in society, undermining gender equality and empowerment efforts.
Tai's innovative solution to Tanzania's challenges centres on using digital media and storytelling to educate, empower, and inspire social change. Through traditional and digital platforms, their content reaches over 12 million viewers and listeners

About us
At The Catalyst Collective, we believe that mentoring can be a powerful intervention in the lives of young women. Since 2021, we’ve recruited, trained, matched and supported professional Black women with Black teenagers for year-long mentoring relationships.
What we’re looking for
As we prepare to launch our newest cohort in September and October 2024, we’re looking for Black women who are able to commit at least 1 hour per month for mentoring. Mentors can work in any professional fields.
Please note this is not a paid position and we do not charge mentees to participate in our programmes.
As we offer training and support to all mentors, you do not need prior experience as a mentor to volunteer with us.
Your role as a mentor
As a mentor, you’ll play a key role in supporting Black female students in years 9 to 13 to achieve their goals.
How it works
Mentoring pairs meet once a month virtually (using our mentoring platform or over Zoom/MS Teams/Google Meet) and these meetings typically last for 1 hour. The mentoring journey kicks off with a virtual Mentor Match session with other mentoring pairs on the cohort.
All mentoring pairs are allocated a Mentoring Coordinator who is the first port of call for all questions and queries.
Mentoring Coordinators meet with mentors monthly and troubleshoot issues, provide session ideas and help to keep the relationship on track.
We also plan group trips and events based around a range of themes to complement 1:1 sessions.
Application Process
As part of our application process, you’ll have an informal interview with a member of The Catalyst team.
If selected as a mentor, you’ll need to undergo a DBS check and provide details of 2 character references. The cost of the DBS check is covered by The Catalyst Collective. Prior to meeting your mentee, you’ll also attend mandatory mentoring and safeguarding training.
