Data protection and compliance project manager volunteer roles

Are you interested in making a difference to the lives of children and young people? Is there a skatepark in your area? If so, this role could be for you.

We are a UK registered youth development charity that uses teaching and learning to skateboard in a structured and supportive environment as a platform to develop the skills and abilities of children and young people.

The Role: Chapter Leader

As a Chapter Leader with the Skateboarding Foundation (SF), your role is to set up and run a Local Chapter that gives young people access to skateboarding and life skills through the SF ‘Eduskate’ programme.

Training, materials, resources, equipment and ongoing support, advice and guidance will be provided.

Key responsibilities

Your key responsibilities include:

• Setting up and running the chapter
• Recruiting coaches
• Recruiting learners
• Coordinating the delivery of the coaching programme
• Raising funds and spreading the word
• Helping us monitor and evaluate the programme
• Giving three/four hours a month of your time

You’ll have overall responsibility for the chapter’s activities, compliance, and smooth running. You’ll provide direction and support to your chapter committee, chair meetings, and ensure volunteers, coaching programmes, and fundraising are well managed.

The role involves motivating the team, planning chapter development, and stepping in where needed to keep things on track. You’ll also liaise with the national Board of Trustees, keeping them informed of key decisions and changes. 

Strong leadership, organisation, and a passion for youth development (and ideally skateboarding) and the charity’s mission are essential.

Join the MINDSET Charity Steering Group

Help shape a new movement for men’s wellbeing and personal growth

MINDSET is a new charity with a bold mission: to equip men with the tools, skills, and approaches they need to live happier, healthier, more resilient lives — in a non‑clinical, non‑therapeutic, practical way.

We’re building something meaningful from the ground up, and we’re looking for a small group of committed volunteers to help shape our foundation.

What is the Steering Group?

The Steering Group is a temporary leadership team (6–12 months) that will guide the early development of MINDSET before we formally register as a charity and appoint Trustees.

You’ll help shape:

• our mission and values

• our first programmes and workshops

• our safeguarding and boundaries

• our culture and tone

• our community outreach

• our long‑term structure and governance

This is your chance to influence a charity at the very beginning.

Who we’re looking for

You don’t need to be a mental health professional. You do need to care about men’s wellbeing and personal growth.

We welcome people with experience or interest in:

• facilitation or group leadership

• safeguarding or risk awareness

• wellbeing, coaching, or personal development

• community work or lived experience

• operations, finance, or admin

• marketing, branding, or communications

Most importantly, you should be:

• open‑minded

• collaborative

• reliable

• passionate about prevention and growth

• comfortable with reflective, skills‑based approaches

Time commitment

• Monthly meetings (online)

• Occasional small tasks between meetings

• A 6–12 month commitment while we build our foundation

Why join us?

This is a rare opportunity to:

• shape a charity before it launches

• influence how men’s wellbeing is approached

• be part of something meaningful and preventative

• help create programmes that genuinely change lives

• grow personally while helping others grow

You’ll be part of a supportive, purpose‑driven team building something that matters.

Interested?

Tell us a little about yourself, why this matters to you, and what you feel you could bring.
