Join the Brotherhood: Your Compassion Can Build a Legacy!

Imagine a world where every man feels strong enough to be vulnerable. Where asking for help isn't a sign of weakness, but an act of profound courage. At MINDSET Charity, we're not just imagining it – we're building it, and we need you to make it real.

The silence surrounding men's struggles is a crisis that breaks hearts and costs lives. Sadly, suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 50 in the UK. Behind every statistic is a man, a son, a father, a friend, battling alone. MINDSET is here to change that. We're a brand new start-up charity, forging a brotherhood to inform, guide, and support men, empowering their mental well-being and self-improvement through vital services, events, and a powerful community.

This is your chance to be at the very beginning of something extraordinary. We're not just looking for volunteers; we're seeking pioneers with a burning desire to create a lasting impact. We need your heart, your skills, and your unwavering belief to help us get set up and launched, providing much-needed services to men in need across the UK.

Your passion, right now, can lay the foundation for a future where no man walks his journey alone.

Your Leadership. Their Lifeline. (Remote Opportunities Available!)

We're especially keen to welcome dedicated individuals to our founding Board of Trustees. These are remote positions, meaning you can make a nationwide impact from wherever you are in the UK.

• Trustees (Including Treasurer & Secretary): Be a core guardian of our mission, providing strategic oversight, financial integrity, and ethical leadership. Your wisdom will shape our direction and ensure our long-term success.

This is more than volunteering; it's a chance to build a better world for men. It's a chance to ignite hope, foster connection, and empower resilience.

Are you ready to be a part of this incredible journey? We are building a charity, and we need your help and support.

Reach out today and tell us how you want to make a difference. Email your CV and a heartfelt message about why you're drawn to Mindset Charity.

Together, we can build a stronger Mindset. Together, we can save lives.

We’re looking for a Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL) to help us build a culture of safety from the ground up.

We’re launching coffee mornings, digital inclusion workshops, fitness groups, and befriending programmes—all designed to rebuild community from the ground up. But we need someone to lead the charge.

Company/Charity Secretary (Volunteer Trustee Role)

Help Us Build a Charity That Connects the Forgotten and Uplifts the Invisible

Loneliness is a quiet ache. It doesn’t always cry out—but it weighs heavy. In London, thousands of people are living in isolation, and the consequences are profound: deteriorating mental health, loss of confidence, and a fading sense of purpose.

SUNSHINE is a brand new, 100% volunteer-run grassroots charity dedicated to changing that. We’re creating spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. But before we can deliver life-changing programmes, we need a strong, ethical, and well-governed foundation. That’s where you come in.

Why This Role Matters

Behind every compassionate charity is a Company Secretary who ensures clarity, compliance, and continuity. As our Company/Charity Secretary, you’ll be the anchor of our governance—making sure our mission is supported by structure, our values are reflected in our operations, and our trustees are empowered to lead with confidence.

This is a trustee role with real heart. You’ll help us stay legally sound, ethically grounded, and emotionally attuned to the communities we serve.

What You’ll Do

• Ensure SUNSHINE meets its legal and regulatory obligations as a UK charity.

• Support the Board of Trustees with meeting coordination, documentation, and decision-making processes.

• Maintain accurate records and filings with Companies House and the Charity Commission.

• Help shape policies that reflect our values of inclusion, dignity, and transparency.

• Be a guiding voice in our governance, helping us grow with integrity.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience in charity governance, administration, or legal compliance (professional or volunteer).

• A meticulous eye for detail and a heart for grassroots change.

Play a vital part in this dual role for a pioneering social enterprise, and the leading charity supporting refugees, asylum seekers, and survivors of modern slavery.

Location: London / UK / Virtual

Applications close at 9 a.m. Tuesday 30th September 2025.

Who we are.

Clear Voice is an award-winning social enterprise offering high-quality interpreting and translation services across the UK. With a network of over 3,000 linguists and services available in more than 260 languages, Clear Voice delivers over 20 million minutes of interpretation annually. Our clients span the public, private, and voluntary sectors. What makes us different is our purpose. Clear Voice is wholly owned by the national charity Migrant Help, which supports refugees, asylum seekers, and survivors of modern slavery. Every penny of Clear Voice’s profit goes back into supporting this mission. Together, we are committed to a world that protects displaced people, treats them with dignity, and helps them thrive.

Migrant Help has been delivering services to vulnerable migrants since 1963. With a national reach and an income of over £58 million, the charity is one of the largest of its kind in the UK. Under the leadership of Caroline O’Connor, recently named Charity Chief Executive of the Year, the organisation continues to grow in both impact and ambition.

About the role.

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to shape the growth of a purpose-led business while contributing to the leadership of a national charity. We are looking for someone to Chair the Clear Voice Board and serve as a Trustee of Migrant Help.

As Chair of Clear Voice, you will provide strategic leadership during an ambitious phase of growth and service diversification. A key priority will be helping Clear Voice strengthen its competitive position in the interpretation sector, diversifying its client base and reducing reliance on Migrant Help as a customer. You’ll support the CEO and Board to set long-term goals, act as a constructive sounding board, and uphold strong governance. You will need to balance commercial sustainability with the governance responsibilities of a charity-owned enterprise, ensuring that growth enhances both impact and accountability.

Equally, as a Trustee of Migrant Help, you will contribute to the broader leadership of the charity, ensuring both organisations thrive in mutual alignment. This dual role involves working across charity and enterprise contexts, offering guidance on opportunity, risk, innovation, and long-term impact.

What we are looking for.

We’re looking for a thoughtful and commercially astute leader who can bring strategic insight, inclusive leadership, and strong business skills to a growing, values-led enterprise. You’ll be confident in helping shape future growth while ensuring that decisions are rooted in purpose, financial accountability, and impact. You will also act as a supportive but constructively challenging Chair, able to engage confidently with diverse stakeholders and provide a trusted sounding board for the CEO. Experience of social enterprise leadership or growth would be hugely valuable, alongside expertise in business development, marketing, or digital innovation in technology-enabled environments. Experience in a non-executive or trustee role is helpful but not essential.

What matters most is your ability to balance commercial focus with charity governance, and your motivation to contribute to Migrant Help’s mission. We want someone who believes passionately that people seeking asylum are human beings who deserve to be treated decently and have their rights respected. We would especially welcome interest from people with lived or family experience of migration or displacement, and from female leaders who are underrepresented in our governance structures.

Time commitment

Approximately 14–16 days per year, including:

• Quarterly Clear Voice and Migrant Help Board meetings (virtual or in London)
• Chairing Clear Voice’s Finance & Risk Group (every 6 weeks)
• Attending Migrant Help’s People & Remuneration Committee (2–3 times per year)

UKuhamba

Ukuhamba produces lightweight, custom-made, and affordable prosthetics using 3D printing technology to improve the lives of amputees living with disabilities, restoring their independence and dignity.

Ukuhamba aims to address several social and environmental challenges such as:

• Limited access to prosthetic devices: Many individuals in Africa, particularly in rural areas, lack access to prosthetic devices due to high costs, limited infrastructure, and a shortage of trained personnel.
• Social stigma associated with disability: People with disabilities, especially amputees, often face social exclusion, stigma, and discrimination, which can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and depression.
• Economic burden of disability:The lack of access to prosthetic devices can result in significant economic burdens on individuals and communities, limiting their ability to participate in education, employment, and community activities.
• Environmental impact of prosthetic production: Traditional prosthetic production methods can have a significant environmental impact, which Ukuhamba aims to mitigate by using recycled materials, such as plastic water bottles, in their 3D printing process.

Ukuhamba addresses social and environmental challenges in several ways:

• Increasing accessibility to prosthetics: They provide affordable, custom-made prosthetic limbs to individuals with physical disabilities, particularly in South Africa where access to these devices is limited. Currently, only about 30.5% of individuals in need have access to prosthetics.
• Reducing stigma associated with disability: By infusing fashion into their prosthetic designs, Ukuhamba aims to empower users to proudly showcase their prosthetics, challenging societal stigmas surrounding disability.
• Environmental sustainability: Ukuhamba utilizes recycled materials, such as plastic bottles, in their 3D printing process, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendliness.
• Empowering individuals with disabilities: Their prosthetic solutions enable individuals to regain independence, mobility, and dignity, allowing them to participate more fully in daily life activities and contribute to their communities.
• Promoting inclusivity: By providing low-cost prosthetics, Ukuhamba bridges the gap for underprivileged individuals who cannot afford these devices, fostering greater inclusivity and social equality.
