Our partner is a growing NGO working to improve access to healthcare for underserved and remote communities in Uganda. As the organisation scales its programmes and funding, it is seeking pro bono support to strengthen its finance systems, reporting, and organisational foundations, ensuring they are robust, efficient and fit for future growth.
They are looking for an experienced finance or business professional to provide remote, hands-on support over an initial three-month period. The assignment will be delivered in two phases, starting with a review of current finance systems, workflows and reporting, and supporting leadership to clarify what “good” looks like for the organisation’s future systems. The volunteer will work closely with senior leadership and the finance team, helping to improve use of their existing accounting system, strengthen budgeting and KPI reporting, and reduce pressure on senior staff through clearer processes and controls.
Key areas of support may include:
- A finance health check, reviewing current processes, controls, workflows and approval structures, with a focus on identifying opportunities to streamline and reduce the administrative burden on senior leadership.

- Strengthening budgeting and budget vs actual (BvA) reporting, including alignment between budgets and the chart of accounts.
- Development or refinement of a small set of core financial KPIs that support internal decision-making for leadership and programme teams.
The work will be undertaken collaboratively, with a focus on practical, proportionate recommendations that can be implemented by a small team in a low-resource context. The finance professional will lead on refining the scope and deliverables, based on the initial findings.
Profile
This role would suit a finance or business professional with experience in finance systems, ERP/accounting tools, management reporting, and organisational design. Experience working with NGOs or in international or low-resource settings would be highly valued. The ideal volunteer will enjoy working alongside teams, sharing workload as well as advice, and translating technical concepts into usable solutions.
Time commitment
The assignment will be delivered remotely, requiring approximately 2–3 hours per week over an initial three-month period, with flexibility to extend depending on progress and availability. The preferred start date is as soon as possible.

About WakeUpGB
WakeUpGB is a new, independent UK not‑for‑profit movement built around one simple idea:
A country works better when people trust the system that runs it.
Right now, public trust in politics is at crisis levels — not because people don’t care, but because they feel shut out, misled, and ignored. We’re here to change that.
WakeUpGB is:
- A public movement focused on rebuilding trust in politics
- A policy project with 60 practical ideas to improve the UK
- A platform for fairness, transparency and accountability
- A call to action for people who believe things can be better
- A growing community of people tired of waiting for “someone else” to fix things
We’re not a party.
We’re not a campaign machine.
We’re a movement of ordinary people who believe the next generation deserves a country that hasn’t given up on itself.
One message captures why WakeUpGB exists:
“To my kids — I’m sorry I didn’t do more to stop what happened to this country. I thought someone else would. I thought it wouldn’t get this bad. I was wrong.”
We’re here so none of us ever have to say that again.
The Role
We’re looking for a Social Media Lead who can turn our mission into momentum. Someone creative, clear‑thinking and strategic — who knows how to make important issues accessible, engaging, and real.
This isn’t about posting for the sake of posting. It’s about:
- Educating the public
- Growing a movement
- Inspiring action
- Rebuilding trust
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading WakeUpGB’s social media strategy across major platforms
- Creating bold, clear, shareable content
- Turning complex issues into simple, motivating messages
- Producing short‑form video and visual content
- Growing engagement and awareness of our 60 ideas
- Mobilising supporters and volunteers
- Using analytics to refine and strengthen our impact
Who You Are
You don’t need to be a political expert — you just need to communicate well and care about making things better.
You bring:
- Experience running or creating impactful social media content
- Strong writing and storytelling skills
- Confidence with short‑form video and visual formats
- The ability to simplify complex topics
- Creative energy and strategic thinking
- A belief in fairness, transparency and positive change
If you’ve ever felt that the UK deserves better — and that doing nothing isn’t an option — you’ll fit in here.
What We Offer
- Flexible remote work
- A chance to shape the online voice of a growing movement
- Creative freedom to experiment and try bold ideas
- A role with genuine social purpose and impact
How to Apply
Send the following t:
- Your CV
- A short note explaining why the role interests you and your ideas for promoting WakeUpGB
A Final Thought
Many of us at WakeUpGB started because of one feeling:
“I can’t keep waiting for someone else to fix this.”
If that resonates with you — whether you want to apply for the role or volunteer your time — this might be exactly where you’re meant to be.

This is an exciting time to join the Endometriosis UK trustee board, as the organisation expands and develops to achieve the changes that are needed to support those affected by the disease and to drive down diagnosis time. We are looking for a new Treasurer to build on this momentum to strengthen our organisation and bring about change for those with endometriosis. We have a skills-based board, with Trustees having one or more identified skills, with the overall membership of the Board providing the complete set of skills.
Endometriosis UK is the largest UK charity for those with endometriosis. Endometriosis UK works to:
• Provide support to those with endometriosis and their families and friends
• Provide clear, objective information about the condition and its treatments
• Raise awareness amongst health professionals and the general public about the condition
• Support research into endometriosis.
This is an unpaid role. Reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be paid.
Time commitment:
• Five meetings a year, including preparation for meetings, reading papers etc; and attendance at an annual strategy day and AGM (held on the same days as Board meetings).
• Trustees have the opportunity to take part in Board sub-groups and project groups to develop aspects of the organisations’ work. Current sub-groups include the Finance Committee and Diversity & Inclusion Sub-Group. Trustees are also invited to attend Endometriosis UK events.
We are recruiting for one new treasurer to join the board. We are particularly looking for:
• Personal or professional experience of diversity and inclusion issues
• Marketing and digital marketing
• Communications and social media
• Campaigning and achieving change
• Experience of working in Primary Care
• Charity finance experience
• Currently living in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales
Personal experience of living with, or having a close family member with, endometriosis, is vital on our Board. Whilst we look favourably on applications from those in the endometriosis community, we already have Trustees with first hand lived experience and new trustees do not need to have endometriosis.
We also particularly welcome applications from trustees from a range of backgrounds and experiences as part of our commitment to diversity.
The role will start at a Board meeting on 28th November 2026, when our current Treasurer reaches the end of their 6-year term of office. Prior to the roles starting, the incoming Treasurer will have the opportunity to observe a Board meeting in September, and induction will be planned in October.
Our Network is here to offer those affected by endometriosis the support and information they need to understand the condition and take control

Our Challenge
Brain tumours do not discriminate. They can strike anyone, at any age and they strike quickly.
At The Brain Tumour Charity, we aim to address the clear gap in emotional support available to those affected by a brain tumour diagnosis. We know the difference that talking therapy can make to the brain tumour community and our goal is to reach more people, ensuring everyone that wants it, gets the support that they need.
How can you help?
We are in a position to offer a number of unpaid student placements, to those training to be integrative or person centred counsellors, which will see you work via telephone/webcam only, with a wide range of clients; from those newly diagnosed, to those at end of life, carers and bereaved loved ones.
We’re looking for students who:
- Are in their 2nd year of studying for the Level 4 Counselling Diploma (or equivalent)
- Have been signed off as ’fit to practice’ by their tutor and have already accrued at least 30+ client hours in another placement.
- Are student members of the BACP (or equivalent) and work in line with their ethical framework.
- Are prepared to attend mandatory monthly group supervision provided by The Charity and committed to meeting all supervision requirements outlined by their ethical body.
- Have their own public liability insurance (or are willing to obtain this).
- Will be committed to following our safeguarding processes and will only work within their limits of proficiency.
- Will observe confidentiality in line with their ethical framework and The Charity’s organisational policy.
- Have the capacity to work autonomously and IT abilities to be able to maintain appropriate and accurate records on our counselling database.
- As this is a home-based role, you will need access to a telephone and computer that you are happy to use for this service.
The Brain Tumour Charity is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals belonging to minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented communities.
What can you gain from volunteering with us?
- You’ll have the opportunity to work towards the clinical hours required for your course.
- You will receive training, ongoing support and management supervision from the Counselling Service Manager.
- You will receive 1.5 hours per month of group supervision with a clinical supervisor.
- We will complete any necessary paperwork and reports needed for your placement records.
- All diary management will be carried out by our Counselling Team, reducing the amount of admin required by you.
Time commitment
We ask each student to commit to a placement of at least 6 months and to see a minimum of 3 clients per week (at a time suitable for you, but it MUST be at the same time each week). The service operates between the hours of 9am—5pm, Monday-Friday and you will be required to see clients within these hours.
Practical considerations
Shortlisted applicants will be asked to attend an interview with our Counselling Service Manager and Counselling Service Officer.
Successful candidates will then receive a full induction to The Brain Tumour Charity and any specific training for the role, as well as ongoing support from one of the team.
We will carry out reference and DBS checks for all successful applicants and you will be required to complete some internal data protection and disclosure documentation before commencing the placement
Need support with the application process?
We are committed to being inclusive and recognise that there may be a number of ways we could support you through the application process. If there’s any adjustments we can make to help you fully engage in the process, don’t hesitate to let us know by getting in touch with the Volunteering Team
