251 Delivery volunteer roles

Project overview: 

Alfriston Outreach Service is dedicated to helping older and vulnerable people in Kingston. We provide services such as Hot Lunch delivery, Shopping, and Laundry delivered into people’s homes, with our aim to support older people to remain independent in their own homes. 

About us:

Mind in Kingston supports people with mental health issues and raises awareness within Kingston and surrounding areas. We provide training, supervision, and opportunities for career development. 

Volunteers are extremely valued within our team and a vital part of our service delivery. We welcome applications from people from all walks of life, including those who may have personal or professional experience of mental health. While lived experience can bring valuable perspective, it is not a requirement for volunteering with us. Our focus is on providing volunteers with the training, guidance and supervision they need to feel confident in their roles and to develop their skills. Volunteers are supported to succeed and offered opportunities to connect with trustees, staff and other volunteers both professionally and socially. Above all, we value the contribution volunteers make to our community and are committed to recognising their achievements. 

Main purpose of the role: 

• Support and assist the Lunch Delivery.

• Adherence to Mind in Kingston’s policies (e.g., confidentiality, safeguarding). 

• Proactive engagement with your supervisor for support. 

Application Process: 

• Two recent references are required. 

• An enhanced DBS check is necessary. 

We ask volunteers for two references, one of which must come from someone who has supervised you recently in your work or studies, such as a current or previous employer or a tutor. You will also need to undergo an enhanced DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check, as you will be working with vulnerable adults.

About The Pinnacle Centre

The Pinnacle Centre is a third space in Birmingham helping young adults grow holistically. We work across three domains: personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.

Vision 2030 is where that work is heading. We're building a multi-purpose centre in Birmingham — sports facilities, co-working space, an auditorium and a café — designed as a home for young adults to train, work, learn and gather.

Role Summary

You own what Pinnacle actually delivers to young adults — the design, quality and outcomes of our programmes across all three domains, and the week-to-week running of them. Events run the moments; you run the journeys people go on in between.

Key tasks

1.  Programme design

○ Design a coherent portfolio across personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.

○ Define the intended outcome of every programme before it is built.

○ Retire programmes that no longer earn their place in the calendar.

2.  Delivery & coordination

○ Schedule sessions, facilitators and spaces across the programme calendar.

○ Prepare materials and resources, and host or support delivery.

○ Adapt on the day when numbers, rooms or facilitators change.

3.  Quality & facilitation

○ Set the standard for facilitation, content and participant experience.

○ Recruit, brief and develop facilitators, coaches and speakers.

○ Observe delivery regularly and give feedback that improves it.

4.  Participant journey

○ Welcome newcomers and make sure nobody is left standing on their own.

○ Design pathways so a first-time attendee has an obvious next step.

○ Follow up with people who have dropped off, and own retention.

5.  Impact & evidence

○ Define success in measurable terms and collect outcome data consistently.

○ Maintain accurate attendance records and gather stories and case studies.

○ Produce the impact evidence Fundraising needs for applications and funder reporting.

What we're looking for

● Programme design or delivery experience in youth work, education, learning and development or similar.

● Outcome-focused — you start from the change you want to see.

● Warm and approachable; people should want to talk to you.

● Comfortable with evaluation data and honest about what is not working.

● Reliable weekly availability.

● Safeguarding trained, or willing to be.

What we have to offer

● Real ownership of a function, not a task list — you will shape how it works, not just execute someone else's plan.

● A seat in a team building towards a 2030 horizon, with a clear line of sight to the leadership team.

● Access to our network of founders, professionals, entrepreneurs and investors through Pinnacle's events programme.

● Training, mentoring and the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own as the organisation grows.

● The reward of building something in your city that will outlast all of us.

Please note: this is currently a volunteer position. Reasonable expenses for travel, equipment and refreshments are reimbursed in line with our Expenses Policy. As Pinnacle grows and funding allows, we expect several senior roles to move to paid positions, and volunteers already in post will be considered first.

Our shops rely on a steady flow of stock to help raise vital funds for hospice care, and we're looking for friendly, reliable volunteers to help keep things moving.

Wednesday: Full-day availability required, as vans will be visiting our shops further afield

Please note: Collection and delivery schedules can vary, and vans may not always return at the expected time. We therefore ask volunteers to be flexible, particularly at the end of their shift.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Clinical Trustee to join the Board of the Motor Neurone Disease (MND) Association at a pivotal time for the MND community. Advances in scientific understanding, growing public awareness and increasing collaboration across healthcare, research and policy are creating new opportunities to improve lives today and accelerate progress towards effective treatments for tomorrow.

Our 2025–2030 strategy sets out an ambitious agenda across three core impact goals: Tomorrow’s Treatments: accelerating progress towards effective treatments and earlier diagnosis. My Support, My Way: ensuring people affected by MND have the information, support and choice they need and Influencing High-Quality Care: driving consistent, high-quality care and tackling inequalities in access and outcomes. Alongside this, the Association is increasing its research ambition, with the aim of spending £20 million a year on research by 2030.

As a Clinical Trustee, you will provide trusted clinical insight, independent judgement and constructive challenge to support strategic decision-making and help the Board navigate an increasingly complex healthcare and research landscape. This is not an operational clinical role; it is a Board-level opportunity to help ensure the Association remains evidence-informed, ambitious and focused on the needs and experiences of people living with and affected by MND.

Main Responsibilities

• Contribute to the Board's strategic leadership, governance and decision-making
• Help ensure the MND Association remains focused on the needs of people affected by MND
• Recognise and value lived experience in shaping priorities, services and decision-making
• Bring clinical and scientific insight on matters relating to care, research, innovation and risk
• Support the Board in interpreting complex evidence and understanding strategic implications
• Offer independent judgement and constructive challenge while working collaboratively
• Contribute to oversight of quality, safeguarding, reputation, risk and organisational impact
• Participate in Board committees, including the Care Services and Research Committee
• Advise on developments within the clinical, healthcare and research landscape for MND
• Support opportunities for collaboration across healthcare, academia, research, policy and social care
• Act as an ambassador for the MND Association and its values

About You

Essential

• Significant clinical, academic or healthcare leadership experience with substantial expertise in MND
• Strong understanding of developments in MND research, care, support and service delivery
• Ability to interpret complex clinical and scientific evidence and apply it to strategic decision-making
• Commitment to improving the lives and experiences of people with MND and those affected by the disease
• An appreciation of the importance of lived experience in shaping organisational priorities, services and decision-making
• Ability to contribute effectively at Board level through strategic thinking and sound judgement
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly
• High levels of integrity, independence of thought and commitment to good governance
• Commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion, and ability to fulfil the trustee time commitment

Desirable

• Leadership experience within specialist MND services, centres or multidisciplinary care settings
• Experience influencing MND research, care, service development or policy
• Experience improving the quality, accessibility or consistency of care for people affected by MND
• Experience building partnerships across healthcare, academia, research, policy or the voluntary sector
• Previous trustee, governance, advisory or board-level experience

Please note: The Clinical Trustee role is a voluntary, unpaid trustee appointment. Reasonable expenses incurred while carrying out trustee duties will be reimbursed in line with the MND Association's policies. Board meetings take place four times a year, with an annual Board Away Day. The Clinical Trustee is also expected to sit on the Care Services and Research Committee, which meets four times a year online.

Further information about the MND Association, our Board of Trustees, the Clinical Trustee opportunity, and how to apply can be found in the attached Candidate Pack.

We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive Board that reflects the communities we serve. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds and particularly value diversity of thought, experience and perspective.

Vision 2030 is where that work is heading. We're building a multi-purpose centre in Birmingham — sports facilities, co-working space, an auditorium and a café — designed as a home for young adults to train, work, learn and gather.

Role Summary

You own Pinnacle's operational backbone — venues, suppliers, equipment, budgets and the systems that make delivery repeatable — and you deliver it yourself on the ground. Programmes and Events decide what happens; you make sure it can happen, and then you make it happen.

Key tasks

1.  Operational ownership

○ Own the venue, supplier and equipment strategy across all Pinnacle activity.

○ Negotiate and manage contracts, hire agreements and service providers.

○ Hold the operations budget and report actual against forecast to the COO.

2.  Delivery

○ Execute the operational plan for scheduled activity: set-up, delivery and pack-down.

○ Act as the on-site operational point of contact during sessions and events.

○ Complete the operational checklist for every activity, every time.

3.  Equipment & inventory

○ Maintain the inventory: track, store, clean and repair equipment.

○ Flag replacement needs before something fails mid-session.

○ Manage transport and storage logistics.

4.  Risk & compliance

○ Own risk assessments, insurance, licensing and site health and safety.

○ Ensure safeguarding requirements are practically met wherever we operate.

○ Maintain contingency plans for venue loss, equipment failure and staffing gaps.

5.  Records & improvement

○ Keep accurate records of bookings, costs and attendance.

○ Document how we run things, so a new volunteer can follow the process unaided.

○ Remove recurring friction rather than firefighting the same problem each month.

What we're looking for

● Organised, hands-on and practical — you plan it and then you do it.

● Reliable; people are depending on you being there.

● Confident negotiating with suppliers and holding them to terms.

● Comfortable with budgets and record-keeping as well as physical set-up.

● Based in Birmingham with regular evening and weekend availability.

● Health and safety or facilities experience, and a full driving licence (desirable).

What we have to offer

● Real ownership of a function, not a task list — you will shape how it works, not just execute someone else's plan.

● A seat in a team building towards a 2030 horizon, with a clear line of sight to the leadership team.

● Access to our network of founders, professionals, entrepreneurs and investors through Pinnacle's events programme.

● Training, mentoring and the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own as the organisation grows.

● The reward of building something in your city that will outlast all of us.
