This is an opportunity to contribute to the development of an organisation with an international vision and to help mobilise resources for programmes supporting vulnerable communities.
About ULO
Universe of Life Organization (ULO) was founded in Cameroon in 2017 with a vision to serve humanity with love, dignity and solidarity. ULO is preparing an important new chapter in its development, including the establishment of ULO UK in London and the strengthening of its international programmes and partnerships.

The volunteer will support ULO in identifying suitable funding opportunities, researching potential funders and developing strong grant applications and funding proposals.
Key responsibilities include:

• Working collaboratively with ULO leadership and relevant volunteers to ensure proposals are accurate, consistent and evidence-based.
Immediate priority – ULO Cameroon Flagship Project
A key priority will be supporting resource mobilisation for ULO’s Women’s and Children’s Resilience and Empowerment Programme, a 12-month pilot programme designed to support 50 vulnerable women and 60 vulnerable children aged 5–15 in Bafoussam, West Region, Cameroon.

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 build the non-financial relationships that give Pinnacle reach and credibility — mosques, universities, community organisations, sports clubs and local institutions. Corporate Partnership handles money; you build mutual value.
Key tasks
1. Relationship building
○ Map and prioritise the organisations worth partnering with across the city and country.
○ Make first approaches and build genuine working relationships.
○ Define what Pinnacle offers a partner, not only what we want from them.
2. Partnership delivery
○ Agree scope in writing through MOUs or referral arrangements.
○ Coordinate joint events, cross-promotion and shared initiatives.
○ Deliver our side properly, so partners want a second year.
3. Reach & audience
○ Use partnerships to reach young adults we are not currently reaching.
○ Support Marketing with partner distribution channels.
○ Represent Pinnacle credibly at partner events.
4. Coordination & records
○ Coordinate with the Corporate Partnership Lead so one organisation has one relationship with us.
○ Maintain the partnerships register: status, owner, value and renewal date.
○ Report on partnership activity to the CMO.
What we're looking for
● Relationship-building or community engagement experience.
● Confident making a first approach to someone you do not know.
● Strong follow-through — most partnerships die of neglect.
● Credible representing Pinnacle without senior cover in the room.
● Knowledge of Birmingham's community and institutional landscape (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.
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.

About now-u
now-u is a non-profit that aims to inform, inspire and empower people to help tackle pressing social and environmental issues, in partnership with charities.
People can often feel overwhelmed by large-scale problems and powerless to help, but all of us have the ability to contribute to meaningful change. This is where now-u comes in.
We connect people who are looking for ways to make a difference with impactful organisations and actions, enabling regular learning and action around key local and global issues. By bringing together the actions of individuals across the now-u community, we can help drive positive and lasting change.
About the role
We are looking for an organised and motivated individual with a passion for charitable causes to lead our Campaigns team.
The Campaigns team is responsible for curating the content available on the now-u app. This includes learning materials, actions and charitable campaigns designed to inform people about social and environmental issues, inspire them to get more involved and make it easier for them to take meaningful charitable action.
As Campaigns Lead, you will lead a small team of 1–2 Campaign Researchers and support the regular development and curation of new campaign content.
You will also have the opportunity to help shape our content strategy going forward, with the aim of engaging more people in impactful charitable action.
The role involves working closely with other department leads and contributing to wider organisational strategy.
Key responsibilities
About you
We are looking for someone who is organised, proactive and interested in using research and digital content to support positive social and environmental change.
You should be comfortable working independently while also collaborating with a small team and communicating with colleagues across different areas of the organisation.
You do not need extensive leadership experience, but you should be interested in developing your leadership skills and supporting others to produce high-quality work.
Essential experience
Desirable experience
What you will have the opportunity to do
This role offers the opportunity to take ownership of an important area of now-u’s work while developing experience in team leadership, campaign research, digital content and strategy.
You will work with a small and motivated team, contribute ideas to the future direction of our campaigns and help create content that encourages people to learn about important issues and take meaningful action.
Most importantly, you will have the opportunity to contribute directly to now-u’s mission of helping people become more engaged with the social and environmental issues that matter.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Role Summary
You bring in corporate support — sponsorship, charity-of-the-year partnerships, in-kind giving and employee fundraising. You build relationships where the business genuinely gets something back.
Key tasks
1. Prospecting
○ Identify businesses whose interests align with Pinnacle's work and audience.
○ Research decision-makers and the best route in.
○ Maintain a prospect pipeline with clear ownership so approaches never collide with other teams.
2. Proposition & pitch
○ Build sponsorship packages with clearly defined deliverables and honest value.
○ Pitch to businesses and negotiate terms.
○ Agree everything in writing before delivery begins.
3. Delivery & stewardship
○ Deliver what was promised: visibility, access, engagement and reporting.
○ Provide sponsors with evidence of impact and reach.
○ Renew partnerships before they lapse rather than after.
4. Coordination
○ Coordinate with the Partnerships Lead so one organisation has one relationship with us.
○ Work with Events on sponsor presence and experience on the night.
○ Report income and pipeline to the CFO.
What we're looking for
● Sales, business development or sponsorship experience.
● Confident with senior business contacts and comfortable making the first approach.
● Commercially minded — you can structure something where both sides win.
● Strong follow-through; the role is mostly what happens after the pitch.
● Knowledge of the Birmingham business network (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.
