Lived Experience Board Member (Advisory Role)
About the Role
At Living Reasons, we believe that real change comes from lived experience. To make sure everything we do is relevant, effective, and grounded in the realities of people’s lives, we are creating a Lived Experience Advisory Board.
This is a non-executive, advisory role. Board members do not carry trustee responsibilities but instead play a vital part in shaping and guiding the organisation. The insights and perspectives of our board members will directly inform the decisions of our trustees, helping us stay focused on what truly matters to the people we support.
How the Board Works
-
The board is made up of different lived experience groups, each focusing on particular areas.
-
Members can meet in their groups to share experiences, support one another, and identify key issues.
-
Groups can also set up their own sub-groups where needed.
-
Each group decides what information it wants to share with Living Reasons — members are always in control of their voice.
-
From time to time, the full board meets together to discuss wider themes, shared experiences, and how these can guide the direction of Living Reasons.
What You’ll Do
-
Share your lived experience in a safe, respectful group setting.
-
Take part in discussions, focus groups, and community support activities.
-
Contribute to shaping campaigns, policies, and services.
-
Review materials, research, and proposals and give feedback to help the organisation grow.
-
Be part of a supportive community that uses lived experience to drive meaningful change.
Who We’re Looking For
-
People with lived experience of wheel chair use, either:
-
through your own personal experience, or
-
as a supporter, caregiver, guardian, or family member.
-
We will keep these as two separate groups (personal experience, and supporter/caregiver) so that conversations can be open and relevant to each perspective.
Why Join?
-
Your experience will drive real change — in Living Reasons and in wider society.
-
You’ll be part of a community where lived experience is valued, respected, and heard.
-
You’ll have a direct line to trustees and a say in how resources, campaigns, and priorities are shaped.
What is the plan?
The person who is starting the charity up is autistic, has ADHD, CPTSD and also multiple physical conditions that effect daily life and is part of the LGBTQ+ community and has faced a lot of issues in life because of these things.
Living Reasons is being created to fix what we think is a challenging situation that is getting harder to achieve every week, month and year in the current economic, political, environmental and societal landscape. It is not easily defined but we hope the charity objects below will help put context to what we want to achieve, what we can say is that below are the issues we are trying to address, how we do this will change as quickly as society does, but the issues we want to tackle are these:
1) Outdated and damaging employment practices
2) Accessibility to services
3) Limited employment, training and education opportunities
4) Lack of support during times of crisis or need
5) Lack of equity and agency for many people in society

What We’re Looking For

A creative thinker who sees beyond traditional event formats.
-
Strong organisational and planning skills.

Ability to lead and inspire a team of coordinators and volunteers.
-
Confidence in problem-solving and thinking outside the box.

We are The Unseen Barriers Foundation - a new, disabled-led Scottish charity (Incorporated as CLG with charity status pending) tackling the invisible causes of exclusion. Shame, sensory overload, emotional exhaustion, disbelief. These are the things that stop people from showing up - to appointments, to events, to life.
The Foundation is built around two original lived experience contributions by our founder:
- The Unseen Barriers Framework - a landmark conceptual model naming the distress-based barriers that keep disabled people locked out of support.
- Cùran - a green plush dragon created as a visual anchor for distress, shutdown, and solidarity.
Both are licensed to the Foundation by the creator to ensure they serve a purpose-first, rights-based mission.
We are now looking for trustees to help shape this work from the ground up. This is a working board - not a figurehead role. Trustees will actively contribute to strategic direction, governance, and growth.
We are currently remote-first to ensure full accessibility, but will provide office space (Edinburgh/Glasgow area) once funded. You do not need to be based in either city.
Estimated time commitment:
Around 10 hours per month including preparation, meetings, and task-based input.
Board meetings held quarterly via MS Teams.
All access needs will be fully accommodated.
We are especially keen to hear from:
- Individuals with skills in marketing and funding
- Disabled people and unpaid carers
- People with lived experience of distress, neurodivergence, or poverty
If you believe in radical inclusion, and want to join something disruptive but grounded, get in touch.
We believe in finding the right people, not just filling seats. Informal conversations will take place on a rolling basis, and trustees will be appointed as and when suitable candidates are identified. Early expressions of interest are encouraged.
We exist to make the invisible visible. To name what others overlook. Ensuring disabled people are not just accommodated, but understood and supported

Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities. It’s not enough to be ‘welcome’ at Pride. We make up a very large proportion of the queer community – the 2021 Census actually shows we’re half of the community – and we deserve to be visible and celebrated in our own right.
There are many ways to make this happen, and we work in many ways to bring this change about:
- Outreach work with other Prides, LGBTQ+ organisations and bi organisations – our consultation work with local Prides, the UK Pride Organisers Network and local and national LGBTQ+ organisations works in a tailored way to make sure that bi inclusion is a top priority and is being done well
- Organising a high-profile annual Bi Pride event – from September 2019, Bi Pride UK made history with the largest ever gathering of bi people recorded. A performance stage, a panel stage, stall village, street food, and over 1,300 attendees. After going virtual with the BiFi Festival for 2020 due to Covid-19 and running a virtual Pride event in 2021, we came back in person in 2022 with a hybrid event, and have been running the event in this format ever since
- Building a strong online and virtual community – just as important as the rest of our work is making sure that people hear about it! People need to know what resources and spaces exist for them, and how they can connect with other people like them
The role:
We are looking for a volunteer to take a lead on our internal and external monitoring and evaluation work; gathering data about different areas of our activities to ensure that we are having as much impact as possible and can communicate that clearly to a variety of audiences. This role will also be responsible for collecting and assessing valuable evidence about the experiences of bi communities in the UK, helping the charity to share insight into the bi community.
Sitting within the Organisational Development team, this role is a crucial connecting point between teams to help the charity continually identify areas for improvement and growth. This is an exciting opportunity to grow within a small team and help to develop this area of the charity’s work, with aspirations to explore opportunities for longer-term, externally-funded research and evaluation projects, and develop a Policy function for the charity.
Ideal time commitment: approx. 5-10 hours per month; flexible.
Location: remote/ home based, in-person attendance at events is desirable.
Supported/ supervised by: the Head of Organisational Development, also working closely with the Organisational Development team.
Key tasks of this role will include:
- Working with the Head of Organisational Development to define impact in a way that allows us to begin measuring our work in a way that makes sense for a charity of our size and maturity;
- Continuing to develop and implement an impact strategy to sit alongside our strategic objectives;
- Liaising with volunteers across Bi Pride UK to develop internal systems and processes for evaluating our activities, projects, programmes and events;
- Leading on generating and analysing data for a variety of purposes, for example, to be used in briefings, annual impact reports, end-of-grant reports, and in social media posts;
- Promoting and sharing best practice to maximise impact within Bi Pride UK.
Our team volunteers remotely from anywhere in the UK, with some travel required occasionally (primarily for our flagship Pride event in London in August). All reasonable expenses incurred are reimbursed, including travel, lunch at away days and other all day events, and some childcare costs if required. Regular team meetings take place via conference call and are scheduled in line with the team’s best availability.
Volunteer specification:
- Interest and passion for tackling discrimination against and improving the visibility of people in the UK attracted to more than one gender;
- An understanding of the needs of people and communities in the UK attracted beyond gender;
- Commitment to the aims and objectives of Bi Pride UK;
- Experience of introducing and embedding processes, standards, and evaluating impact in a professional environment;
- Experience of working in collaboration with multiple teams;
- Strong project management, organisational, perseverance and administrative skills;
- Experience of writing accessible reports to express impact findings;
- Ability and willingness to contribute towards writing funding proposals;
- Excellent written and oral communication skills;
- Ability to communicate confidently, coherently and sensitively on complex issues of identity, power dynamics and privilege;
- Meticulous attention to detail;
- Strong team player, with the ability to self-motivate when working remotely.
The position is open to anyone over the age of 18. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, especially minority groups such as applicants of colour, trans and non-binary applicants and disabled and/ or neurodivergent applicants. Bi Pride UK is aware of the barriers that can be faced in gaining traditional work experience, particularly for global majority, disabled and/ or neurodivergent and trans people. We will give weight to this and encourage people when applying to consider caring responsibilities, including parenthood, volunteering, and other non-paid experiences and responsibilities when making their application.

Role Summary.
We are looking for a dedicated, technically strong volunteer to maintain and develop our infrastructure. You’ll be “behind the scenes,” managing servers, automations, tool integrations, and internal systems that keep Roots running smoothly.

-
Solid Python scripting ability (writing, debugging, reading others’ scripts) (MUST HAVE)
-
Experience with Google Workspace administration
-
Familiarity with version control (Git / GitHub)
-
Experience with Docker, containerized services, and general server operations
-
Experience with DNS, domain setup, and infrastructure-as-code (e.g. Terraform)
-
Good organizational skills and ability to document systems clearly
-
Ability to assess technical feasibility and communicate trade-offs
At Roots Academy, we are committed to providing accessible Islamic Education to individuals from all backgrounds. To achieve this, we are working to build an inclusive and welcoming workplace, reflective of the students we serve.
We strongly encourage applications from Muslim women and Roots students or alumni that have benefitted from a Roots Class, as well as individuals that bring experience from the education sector or charity sector.
As we are working to improve diversity and inclusion within the organisation, we encourage candidates to voluntarily complete this optional, anonymous survey. This will allow us to monitor our progress and identify where we can improve: https://tally.so/r/np8zWy
What we have to offer
-
Be part of a team of 100+ dedicated volunteers across the UK, Ireland, Egypt, Turkey, Canada, US, UAE and Australia.
-
Receive continuous rewards for those that seek Islamic knowledge from the Roots platform.
-
Be a part of a growing organisation that aims to revive and educate Muslims from a grassroots perspective.

Agile Impacts
We democratize funding and impact measurement for social and climate enterprises with AI-powered tools.
Agile Impacts is on a mission to the $1.1 trillion social enterprise funding gap. 71% of social enterprises struggle to make a living from their venture. But with over 10 million social enterprises generating $2 trillion annually, the problem isn't lack of innovation—it's lack of access to the capital needed to scale. We can't afford to let these world-changing solutions die from funding starvation.
We build AI-powered tools to help social enterprises scale profit and purpose by turning raw data into clear, funder-ready impact indicators and narratives, and democratizing access to funding knowledge by matching organizations to best-fit grants and generating strong applications.
This reduces barriers to entry so that social entrepreneurs everywhere—especially in underrepresented markets—can compete for global funding on an equal playing field. In doing so, we bridge the gap between bold ideas and funder requirements, helping innovators prove their value and scale solutions to urgent social and environmental challenges.
AI-Powered Grant Writer
Agile Impacts built a proprietary AI tool that streamlines the fundraising process for social entrepreneurs—from finding relevant opportunities (we have 250+!) to generating the first draft of the application form.
We’re now training a new generation of AI-powered grant writers to use this technology to help impact-driven ventures access catalytic funding at scale.
Through this upskilling opportunity, you’ll learn how to combine human storytelling and AI efficiency to craft winning grant applications for purpose-led startups around the world (we work with award-winning social entrepreneurs from around the world).
No prior AI experience is required—just strong writing skills, curiosity, and a passion for social impact.
Minimum Hours per Week:
2-3 hours per week
Duration:
3-5 months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.
