Communication officer volunteer roles in Watford, hertfordshire

WMS is looking for a treasurer trustee and director

WMS is a small, award-winning charity with a bold vision! Our mission is to help people navigate through conflict towards peace. We’ve been running for over 20 years on a social enterprise model. Commercial mediators gift their time and expertise in commercial and workplace mediations, and their fees help to fund our office costs. Community mediations and conflict coaching are also delivered by volunteers.  We provide skills training in our local community, in schools across London and organisations nationwide.  We have a committed Trustee board and a part-time CEO who co-ordinates a team of skilled, experienced freelancers doing case-work, communications, projects and training.

In 2025, we directly supported just under 1,000 people. We processed 286 conflict resolution cases, achieving a 93% resolution rate, and trained over 400 adults and young people in conflict resolution skills.

Over the next three years we want to grow sustainably while maintaining our impact. We are looking for a volunteer with budgeting and forecasting expertise to join the trustee Board because our Treasurer is resigning shortly due to other commitments. 

We need a “hands on” trustee who can act as a key strategic advisor to the CEO and the Board, guiding growth, funding, and major financial decisions.  Currently there are: 

• 4 in person 2 hour evening board meetings per annum, in Clapham Junction

• 4 Zoom meetings per annum for 90 minutes over lunch time

• Annual strategy morning, usually on a Saturday in November

As we don’t have a CFO, the Treasurer also has a short monthly meeting in person or on Zoom with the CEO to discuss financial targets, budgets and forecasts. They support the CEO with the submission of statutory annual accounts and are available for ad hoc advice on financial queries which may arise.

We’d like to hear from people who are motivated by our mission to build peace in a polarized world. We need expertise and experience in financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, and accounting and a willingness to support and challenge the CEO and the Board.

Whilst a knowledge of Charity SORPS would be an advantage, we are open to applications from people who are willing to learn! 

Please send a CV and covering letter outlining your experience and why you’d like to join us before 28 February 2026.  We aim to interview after 9 March and for the Treasurer to join us in time for the new financial year on 1 April 2026.

Are you ready to build a legacy that saves lives?

In England today, too many men are fighting silent battles. They are navigating the complexities of mental health and personal growth without a compass or a tribe. At MINDSET, we are changing that narrative. We believe that through brotherhood, community, and intentional self-improvement, every man can reclaim his strength and purpose.

We have the vision. We have the momentum. Now, we need the voice.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Communications Officer (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Communications Officer, you won’t just be "posting on socials"—you will be the architect of our energy. You will lead the charge in creating an exciting buzz around MINDSET, raising awareness for men’s mental wellbeing, and ensuring our mission is heard in every corner of England. You are the one who will take our message and make it a movement.

Who You Are

We aren't looking for a CV; we’re looking for a character. We need a storyteller who is:

• A Creative Catalyst: You have an entrepreneurial spirit and a knack for creating "buzz." You know how to capture attention and turn it into engagement.

• A People Person: You understand the power of connection. You can speak to men from all walks of life with authenticity, empathy, and a touch of wit.

• A Person of Action: You don’t wait for the news—you make it. You have the passion and dedication to elevate MINDSET from a brand-new charity to a household name.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental health and believe that personal growth should be a conversation every man is proud to be part of.

The Volunteer Role

Working directly with the Founder and the Board, you will lead our external voice. You’ll manage our digital presence, create high-impact content, and build relationships that raise our profile. Your goal is simple but massive: make sure every man in England knows that MINDSET is here for him.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will have a blank canvas to build a brand identity that is bold, heart-felt, and modern. You’ll gain incredible experience in PR and brand management, but more importantly, your words could be the reason a man reaches out for help for the very first time.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us tell the story that changes the future for men across England."

If you have the creative spark to lead and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health by putting MINDSET on the map.

Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C. is building survivor-centred, community-owned digital spaces where truth-telling, learning, and healing take place.

The Widening Participation Officer tries to recruit, engage and support as many 16-18 year old volunteers as possible across all of our chapters, with particular focus on those that’d benefit the most from additional WP volunteers, often those
chapters doing the most events.

Due to the sizable scope of the role, the WP Subcommittee is there to help as needed. This is primarily through admin work. You should ensure that you have a suitable number of keen volunteers within the subcommittee that you can delegate tasks to, ensuring that they were well informed, supported and any tasks followed up. This is likely to involve plenty of messaging and occasional meetings.

A primary part of the role that you can delegate is to conceptualise and write the policy for managing 16-18 year old volunteers. This should have a focus on appropriate safeguarding and you can get input from the subcommittee and other Trustees/Officers but should include things like recruitment methods, required paperwork, risk assessments, management at events etc. These policies need to then be communicated effectively to committee and volunteers. 

There are several ways that WP volunteers should be recruited. Schools/6th Forms should be proactively reached out to and a long-term connection formed, ideally through a named person such as a head of year, head of medicine applications or career progression advisor. They can then pass the information on to their students using a range of methods ranging from email to sending a video to, if the local chapter is keen or a member of the subcommittee is nearby, an  in-person visit to an assembly or lunchtime/after-school training session.  

Efforts should be made to build relationships with National bodies that provide volunteering or work experience to 16-18 year olds such as In2MedSchool and Medic Mentor, working closely with them to advertise our volunteering to their
students. 

Once students are interested, they should be able to register as volunteers and attend an Introduction Training session. This can be a WP-specific session with particular focus on benefits and support for WP volunteers such as Duke of Edinburgh hours.

Once volunteers are involved, they should be supported through their time with us including email updates, check-ins, social media posts and training sessions around key times such as university applications.

Finally, of particular note, you should work with the Conference Officer to ensure that WP volunteers are supported in attending the Annual National Conference, in a safe way and have talks of interest to them.

SUNSHINE is a brand new loneliness and wellbeing charity with a simple but powerful mission: to bring people together, spread joy, nurture community spirit, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.

With our charity application submitted, our dedicated Board of Trustees in place, and a series of exciting pilot programmes ready to launch, we are stepping into a defining moment and we’re looking for someone extraordinary to step in with us.

Could you be our first ever Chief Operating Officer?

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to help shape a charity from the ground up. We’re searching for a volunteer who brings:

• Leadership that inspires confidence and care

• A people-first mindset and natural warmth

• Entrepreneurial energy and a love of building things that matter

• Dedication to community, wellbeing, and social impact

• A collaborative spirit and a willingness to roll up their sleeves

As our inaugural COO, you will work closely with our Founder and CEO to steer, shape, and strengthen SUNSHINE — ensuring our programmes, operations, and culture shine as brightly as our mission.

What you’ll help us build

• Pilot programmes that bring neighbours together.

• Welcoming spaces where joy and connection can flourish.

• Operational systems that support a growing movement.

• A charity rooted in compassion, community, and hope.

• A legacy that reaches across London and beyond.

This is more than a role, it’s a chance to help write the opening chapter of a charity designed to lift people up, brighten lives, and transform communities.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• People as the heart of everything we do

If you’re someone who leads with purpose, dreams boldly, and wants to make a real difference, we would love to meet you.

Ready to help us bring more SUNSHINE into the world?

Let’s build something beautiful together, one smile, one moment, one community at a time.

SUNSHINE

The Loneliness and Wellbeing Charity

Wheels for All is a national charity that helps people of all abilities enjoy cycling in a way that works for them. Supporting more than 100 inclusive cycling hubs with over 30 years of experience, we’ve seen first-hand how cycling can change lives - improving health, confidence and community connection.

We’re now growing our national reach and impact, and we’re looking for new Trustees to join our Board and help guide us through this exciting next stage.

About the role

As a Trustee, you’ll help shape the direction of the charity, support good decision-making, and make sure we stay focused on our mission to make cycling accessible for everyone. We’d especially like to hear from people who:

• Have experience in communications, PR, campaigning or public engagement, and can help us share the power of inclusive cycling with more people across the UK
• Have strong networks or local knowledge in areas that are currently least well served by inclusive cycling - especially the North East, East Midlands or South West

If that’s not your background, please don’t be put off. We welcome people from all walks of life who share our passion for inclusion and want to make a difference.

Our Trustees also get involved in one or more of our focus groups, including:

• Governance and Risk
• Nominations, People and EDI
• Welfare, Safety and Safeguarding
• Finance
• Income Generation

We follow the Tier 3 Code for Sports Governance, which means we’re serious about running the charity to the highest standards - but we do it in a supportive, friendly and collaborative way. Full induction and training is provided.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need to have been a Trustee before - we’ll help you learn the ropes. You just need to bring:

• A thoughtful, practical approach
• Willingness to ask questions and share ideas
• The ability to work well with others
• Commitment to equality, inclusion and fairness
• A bit of time and energy to get involved

How to apply

• Apply via othe link, and please upload your CV and a cover letter showcasing how you’re the perfect fit for the role
