Adult mentors available to discuss issues, lots of games and chat and music and then settle down to that week's workshop. Coined by our members as ‘Mosaic’, the Youth Club has been regularly referred to as being ‘home’ or ‘like family.’ We are supported by a dedicated team of LGBT+ volunteer staff role models who run workshops and forums on a range of matters from sexual health to Queer literature.
- schools mentoring: for anyone in London, usually arranged via school, our mentor goes into school. Aimed at those who cannot make youth group
- culture club: around 6 times every month there is something we are doing cultural, be it going to a show, or a gallery or a museum. We raise the funds so these trips are free and often there is a meal before or after

Services for 18 – 25 year olds

Specific to these jobs:
A trustee from the global majority
We need a Trustee from the global majority who will be able to provide us with insight and perspectives that are not fully represented at our Board meetings. We do have a diverse Board, but we are conscious that our membership, particularly in the young adults group, draws heavily from the global majority. We think we would benefit from another Trustee from this background. We are passionate about having diverse voices in our leadership because it helps us make better decisions. We also think we need to be sure we are hearing from people who have similar experiences to those we work with.
This Trustee position is open to those with a range of skills or specialisms, including but not limited to the provision of frontline services (for example safeguarding, working with young people, working with or knowledge of the challenges faced by LGBT+ refugees), marketing and fundraising (for example working in PR, having a knowledge of fundraising or events management) or charity management (for example financial skills - maybe gained outside the charity sector, governance or risk management).
We don’t need you to have been a Trustee before – we are committed to providing the training and support for anyone where this is their first Trustee role. Many of our current Trustees took this on as their first role and would now be regarded as experienced Trustees with a good knowledge of what is required to make the role a success..
Person Specification
Essential
● Lived experience of LGBT+ young people and the LGBT+ community.
● Lived experience of being from the global majority
● Commitment to Mosaic’s vision and mission.
● Understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee; or a willingness to get that understanding very early in the role
● Good communication skills and creative thinking
● Sound, independent judgment and strategic vision
● A willingness to speak their mind persuasively but diplomatically
● Confidence to take decisions for the good of the organisation
● Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the duties of a Trustee
Desirable
● Experience managing a team
A Trustee with an interest in management of risk
We need a Trustee with an interest in the management of risk. For us that means keeping the risk register (we already have one, and its up to date and in good shape), and working with the chairs of the committees to ensure that their committee reviews the risks that they own (our experience is that they need a bit of a push to do it, but when they do it, it is done well). It also means saying “have we considered the risks here” when we discuss things at Board and making sure we keep that as a focus.
You don’t actually need to have done this before because it is relatively easy to understand and the role is keeping the organisation focused on risk rather than actually doing the risk management yourself.
We have a robust risk register and in the last 12 months we have spent half a day thinking specifically about our risk posture. We are losing the trustee who led this area and we need to replace them. If you have experience in governance of risk that would be great, but if you are simply interested in working with us and happy to pick up this area that is fine too. You don’t have to have been a trustee before, but if you have been that would be good.
Responsibilities specific to this role
● To work with the members of the Finance, Risk and Governance committee to maintain a register of the critical risks that the Charity faces.
● To work with the chairs of the Board Committees to ensure that the committees are regularly assessing their risks, and regularly taking action to mitigate those risks
● To be responsible for the keeping the risk register up to date
Person Specification
Essential
● Lived experience of LGBT+ young people and the LGBT+ community.
● Knowledge of risk, or willingness to learn, in relation to a charity for young persons and vulnerable adults.
● Commitment to Mosaic’s vision and mission.
● Understanding of the legal responsibilities and liabilities of a Trustee; or a willingness to get that understanding very early in the role
● Good communication skills and creative thinking
● Sound, independent judgment and strategic vision
● An ability to work with others
● A willingness to speak their mind persuasively but diplomatically
● Confidence to take decisions for the good of the organisation
● Willingness to devote the necessary time and effort to the duties of a Trustee
Desirable
● Have managed a team of people
● Have an interest in corporate governance
A Trustee with skills in marketing, communications or PR
We need a Trustee with experience in marketing to join our Board and also our Marketing and Fundraising committee. We have a part time staff member who creates our material and posts it. We need ideas on how we might do better, reaching out to those who would benefit from what we do. You may have ideas about how we can improve our messaging, or where we could start to advertise and talk about what we do. We don’t need specific marketing skills but rather someone who is familiar with the way marketing works, who understands messaging and who has ideas on what we could do better. If you are familiar with new trends and technologies we could be making better use of that would be great.
Responsibilities specific to this role
● To work with the members of the Marketing and Fundraising committee to improve awareness of what Mosaic does among our target audiences.

About Refugee Biryani & Bananas
Refugee Biriyani & Bananas (RBB) began as a grassroots movement in 2015, in response to the Syrian refugee crisis. What started as a group of friends distributing 2,500 portions of biriyani and bananas in the unofficial camp for displaced people in Dunkirk, Northern France, has grown into a community-driven humanitarian organisation. Initially working under the umbrella of another organisation, RBB became independent to better address gaps in aid and advocacy for displaced people worldwide.
What We Do
RBB supports people facing displacement, war, and inequality, tailoring actions to the needs of each situation. From food distributions to medical support and human rights advocacy, our work is versatile and responsive. We have provided aid in refugee and internally displaced persons (IDP) camps, squats, and other unstable settlements along migratory pathways, including:
France: Calais, Dunkirk & Paris
Greece: Idomeni, Thessaloniki, Athens, Lavrio, Samos & Chios (our main base)
Northern Iraq: Duhok
Serbia: Belgrade Barracks
Bosnia & Herzegovina - Croatia Border: Vucjak Camp
Turkey: Istanbul
Poland, Belarus & Lithuania Border
Ukraine Border (Poland and Ukraine sides)
Palestine: Gaza
Egypt: Cairo
Our Approach
RBB is a mobile grassroots organisation, designed to respond rapidly and flexibly to emerging crises. Our main base of operations is on Chios Island, Greece, where we provide ongoing support to people who are displaced.
Since October 2023, we have also established community-led initiatives to support people affected by the war in Gaza, Palestine, as well as Sudanese and other displaced communities in Cairo, Egypt.
Beyond emergency relief, we remain committed to ongoing support through volunteers, translation services, medical care, aid, and advocacy until either local capacity builds or the situation changes. In addition, our Community Humanitarian Leaders Programme (CHLP) plays a vital role in this approach by strengthening the leadership of people who are displaced by building on their existing skills, networks and lived experience in humanitarian efforts.
Our field team comprises 90% individuals from refugee and asylum-seeking communities, representing Sudan, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia, Gambia, Ethiopia, Palestine, and Yemen. This diverse team is led by our founder and CEO, Ruhi Akhtar, alongside field coordinators / project managers.
We prioritise dignity and equity, involving displaced individuals in decision-making and collaboration. RBB's direct aid includes food, water, shelter, medical supplies, clothing, hygiene packs, and season-specific items like sunscreen or firewood. Needs assessments and communication with affected communities guide our actions, ensuring targeted, person-centered care.
Advocacy & Awareness
RBB amplifies the voices of displaced people by sharing their stories and raising awareness about often-overlooked realities. Through storytelling and advocacy, we aim to challenge injustice and inspire action.
We are a safe space for all people and welcome those who are new to and currently underrepresented on Charity Boards, in particular members who consider themselves to have a disability and those in the global majority. Lived experience of migration or asylum or a commitment to this work is welcomed.
Interested applicants should send a CV with full contact details and a brief covering letter to address your motivation for the role, what specific skills and expertise you would bring and how you meet the competencies listed in the role description.
