We're Building a Movement. Want to Lead It?

You know that feeling when you see a problem and know, deep down, that you have to be part of the solution? That's where we are right now. We're launching a movement to change the way men in the UK think about their well-being and personal growth. This isn't just about starting a charity; it's about building a space where courage is celebrated, vulnerability is a strength, and no man feels like he's on his own.

But a movement needs leaders with heart, determination, dedication and courage.

We're looking for our founding Board of Trustees. This isn't a role for someone who wants to sit on the sidelines. It's for the person who wants to roll up their sleeves and get their hands dirty. It’s a chance to be at the very beginning of something that will change lives. You'll be the guiding force that turns our vision into reality.

We're looking for a mix of skills - maybe you're a whiz with finance, have a background in law, or you're a genius at marketing and fundraising. But what we really need is your passion, your time, your dedication and a rock-solid belief in our mission.

If you've ever felt the fire to make a genuine, lasting difference, this is your moment. You won't get a salary, but you'll be part of a team that's building a legacy. You'll be the reason a man finds the courage to speak up, to seek help, and to finally live a life of authenticity.

Are you ready to lead with us?

We're a new charity on a mission to redefine men's well-being in the UK. We're not about quick fixes; we're about deep, lasting change. We’re creating a space for men to find community, get the tools they need for self-improvement, and build a life of purpose.

But to get this movement off the ground, we need a team of passionate, remote volunteers to help us get ready to launch. We're looking for big hearts and sharp minds to help us behind the scenes, from your kitchen table, your home office, or wherever you feel most inspired.

We need help with:

• Social Media: Crafting powerful, engaging posts that change the narrative.

• Administration: Keeping our project organised and on track.

• Outreach: Building connections with potential partners and supporters.

• Website: Helping us tell our story online.

And so much more!!!

This isn't just about ticking off tasks; it's about being part of something bigger. Every email you send, every post you write, and every connection you make will help us reach a man who needs a space to be heard.

If you have a few hours a week and a fire in your belly for this mission, we want to hear from you. No fancy qualifications needed - just a belief in a better future for men.

Ready to help us build a community of courage and growth?

Let's build this together.

Nina Energy

At Nina Energy, we believe that some of the world’s most inequitable regions hold the greatest potential for climate solutions. Across the Global South, smallholder farmers struggle with low incomes, high costs, and limited access to technology — yet they live surrounded by abundant biomass that today is often wasted or burned.

Our vision is to democratize access to biorefinery technology, enabling rural communities to transform agricultural residues into biochar, renewable energy, and carbon credits. By doing so, we turn environmental liabilities into local assets: healthier soils, cleaner air, reduced fossil fuel dependence, and new revenue streams.

As a volunteer, you will join us in building this movement from the ground up — not only developing technology, but also co-creating training programs, cooperative models, and inclusive businesses where women and youth lead. Your skills can directly help us design, scale, and share solutions that bring climate justice and economic resilience to the communities that need them most.

We are not just building machines. We are building a network of community-owned biorefineries across the Global South — hubs of climate action, education, and empowerment. With your support, we can ensure that carbon-negative technologies are not reserved for the wealthy few, but become tools for the many.

Join us to make this vision real — to turn abundant biomass into opportunity, and inequity into resilience.
