FOUNDING TRUSTEES WANTED!

Help shape a brand‑new youth counselling & support service in Newham

6-10 hours per month

Something exciting is taking root in Newham — The NYCAS (Newham Youth Counselling and Advice Service), our temporary working name, is in development. We’re building a warm, welcoming, safe space where young people aged 11–25 can access FREE, confidential support: counselling, talking therapies, art therapies, information, advice, guidance, and much more.

We are now recruiting volunteers to join us as our Founding Board of Trustees — compassionate, committed people who want to help build something meaningful for young people in Newham.

If you believe every young person deserves somewhere safe to talk, heal, and be heard, this could be the perfect place to share your skills.

About the Role

As a Founding Trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping the vision, governance, and long‑term direction of NYCAS. You’ll help lay the foundations of a service that will support thousands of young people for years to come.

You will work closely with our Founder and early team to:

• Provide strategic leadership and oversight as we establish the charity

• Ensure strong governance, safeguarding, and compliance

• Support the development of our mission, values, and long‑term strategy

• Guide the set‑up of key policies, systems, and structures

• Champion youth wellbeing and ensure young people’s voices shape our work

• Support with fundraising, partnerships, and community connections

• Bring your insight, experience, and passion to help NYCAS grow with integrity and purpose

This is a hands‑on, meaningful trustee role where you’ll see your contribution directly influence the creation of a life‑changing service.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome people from all backgrounds and lived experiences. You don’t need previous trustee experience — we will support you.

We are especially keen to hear from people who are:

• Passionate about youth mental health and wellbeing

• Committed to making Newham a better place for young people

• Thoughtful, reliable, and able to take a strategic view

• Comfortable contributing to decisions around governance, safeguarding, and charity development

• Collaborative, compassionate, and community‑minded

• Able to bring professional or lived experience that strengthens our Board

Experience in any of the following would be a real help and bonus (but not essential): Charity governance, youth work, mental health, safeguarding, finance, HR, legal, fundraising, community development, project management, or lived experience of the challenges young people face.

If you have passion, commitment, and a desire to help build something beautiful for young people — we want to hear from you.

What You’ll Gain

• The chance to shape a brand‑new youth support service from the ground up

• Experience as a charity trustee (full induction and support provided)

• New skills, confidence, and leadership experience

• A warm, supportive team

• The deep satisfaction of helping create a service that will help young people thrive

Time Commitment

Flexible — around 6–10 hours per month, including bi-monthly Board meetings, and working groups. Most activity can be done remotely, with some in‑person meetings in Newham, London.

Ready to help something beautiful grow?

We’d love to hear from you.

How to Apply

Please submit your up‑to‑date CV and a Covering Letter (no more than 2 pages) explaining:

Key Responsibilities

As CEO, you will:

This role blends leadership, creativity, operational oversight, and community engagement — perfect for someone who enjoys variety and impact.

To Empower. To Inspire. To Transform.

Fundraising Trustee (Milton Keynes)

This is an exciting opportunity to be a hands-on trustee at branch level, helping to promote kindness and prevent animal cruelty, reach out to more supporters, and influence how we do things. With your support and expertise, we will achieve so much! We’re looking for a dedicated Fundraising Trustee to help us grow our impact and secure vital resources for the animals who need us most.

Overview of the Fundraising Trustee opportunity

We are looking for an enthusiastic and passionate person who could devote the time to volunteer with us as one of our Trustees. As a Trustee of the Branch, you will have the chance to influence how we care for and prevent cruelty to animals and drive the implementation of key initiatives. You will serve on the governing body of the charity and be instrumental in the running of the Branch and setting out both the short and long terms aims.

As a minimum, trustees would normally be expected to attend a monthly committee meeting lasting some 2 to 3 hours. However, the commitment may vary depending on whether the trustee takes on additional duties.

About the RSPCA

Founded in 1824 we have been saving animals for almost 200 years and are proud to be the oldest welfare charity around. It has always been our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion, so our volunteers and employees work tirelessly to ensure that all animals can live free from pain and suffering.

Through our numerous campaigns, we seek to raise standards of care, and awareness of issues, affecting animals today. We rely heavily on our volunteers who play a significant role in enabling us to carry out this important animal welfare work every day!

The RSPCA Milton Keynes & North Bucks Branch

The Milton Keynes & North Bucks Branch is one of the branches of RSPCA, but we are also a separately registered charity looking after animals in our local area. Much of the animal welfare work of RSPCA is carried out through local branches, which is run by volunteers who have the support of the National Society of RSPCA.

Primary responsibilities of the Fundraising Trustee

• Lead on developing and delivering fundraising strategies
• Help identify new income streams and build relationships with donors, sponsors, and community groups
• Support and advise the board on fundraising best practices
• Champion our cause and represent the branch at events and in the community

We are looking for people from all social and cultural backgrounds, with experience and skills in any of the following areas:

• Experience in fundraising, marketing, or income generation
• Strong networking and communication skills
• A commitment to animal welfare and the values of the RSPCA
• Willingness to attend monthly trustee meetings and contribute time between meetings

Alongside the relevant experience, we are looking for someone who is committed to the RSPCA’s charitable objectives and shares our passion for animal welfare. You would be creative, innovative, bring a fresh perspective, and can put ideas into action.

What we can offer you as a volunteer Branch Trustee

• You’ll work alongside a passionate team and help shape the future of our branch
• Ongoing support is also provided by local and national RSPCA staff in addition to any additional training provided by the branch.
• The platform to utilise your skills and experience to oversee the charity and make decisions that have a direct impact on local animal welfare.
• The opportunity to gain new skills and develop existing ones, whilst making a real difference to the lives of animals.
• A way to expand your professional and personal network through working with like-minded people.

Saving Strays is looking for a dynamic fundraising co-ordinator with experience in grass roots and event fundraising to help take our team of dedicated fundraising volunteers to the next level!

This Role Turns Digital Campaigns Into Real-World Impact. At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., online fundraising is more than clicks—it’s building a movement.
The Online Fundraising and Campaign Manager ensures that all digital campaigns—from social media drives to crowdfunding initiatives—are strategically designed, executed, and optimised for impact. You will lead online engagement, campaign planning, and donor acquisition strategies, connecting supporters to the CIC’s mission and converting attention into meaningful action.

Why This Role Matters

Online fundraising is critical for the CIC’s sustainability:

• It generates immediate and scalable revenue for programmes
