Help a growing education charity build the funding it needs to develop its programmes and reach more children and young people.
Coempowered is a small education charity creating spaces for philosophical inquiry, critical thinking and meaningful dialogue. We work mainly with children, young people and young adults, including Persian-speaking communities from Afghanistan and Iran, with Kurdish-language provision also developing.
We are at an important stage of our development and are looking for volunteers to help us strengthen our fundraising. This is a varied role that can be shaped around your experience, interests and strengths.
You might contribute to:
- researching trusts, foundations, grant programmes and other potential funding opportunities
- identifying opportunities that fit our programmes, beneficiaries and stage of development
- maintaining a funding pipeline and application calendar
- researching funders and understanding their priorities and requirements
- preparing and writing grant applications and expressions of interest
- adapting applications to different funders and criteria
- developing our case for support and other core fundraising materials
- gathering programme, impact, budget and organisational information needed for applications
- helping develop programme and project funding proposals
- keeping accurate records of applications, deadlines, outcomes and follow-ups
- supporting donor and partnership research
- contributing to fundraising planning and reviewing what is working
- helping us develop a practical longer-term fundraising strategy.
Different levels of experience are welcome
You do not need to be experienced in every aspect of fundraising.
If you have substantial fundraising experience, there is scope to take greater responsibility for developing our fundraising strategy, identifying priorities, improving our approach and supporting other fundraising volunteers.
If you are earlier in your fundraising career, or have strong transferable skills in research, writing, communications, project development or similar work, we can agree a more focused area of responsibility and support you to develop your experience.
We would rather build a good team around complementary strengths than expect one volunteer to do everything.
Who we’re looking for
Depending on the area you work on, useful skills and experience could include:
- fundraising or grant fundraising
- bid or proposal writing
- research and information gathering
- strong written communication
- project or programme development
- strategic planning
- donor or partnership research
- maintaining organised records and pipelines
- charity, education or community-sector experience.
Most importantly, we are looking for people who are reliable, thoughtful and able to produce careful, high-quality work. You should be able to work independently, communicate clearly and follow through on agreed responsibilities.
For roles involving substantial responsibility for fundraising strategy or major applications, relevant fundraising experience will be important.
Why your contribution matters
Fundraising is central to Coempowered’s next stage of development.
We have developed our educational work largely through volunteer effort. Building a stronger and more sustainable funding base will allow us to improve our programmes, support and train facilitators, strengthen our organisational capacity and reach more participants without compromising the quality of our educational work.
Your contribution could help us identify opportunities we would otherwise miss, submit stronger applications and build the systems and evidence needed to develop longer-term relationships with funders and supporters.
For an experienced fundraiser, there is also an opportunity to have a significant influence on how a developing charity approaches fundraising from the beginning.
Practical details
The role is fully remote and can be carried out from anywhere with reliable internet access.
Working hours are flexible and can be agreed according to your availability and area of responsibility. We ask volunteers to maintain regular communication, attend agreed online meetings where relevant and give reasonable notice if their availability changes.
We are particularly interested in volunteers who can contribute consistently over time, although we may also consider applicants with specialist fundraising expertise who can support a defined project or piece of work.

About Us
Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the UK's leading charity dedicated to uniting for a life unlimited for everyone affected by cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is a life-limiting genetic condition affecting over 11,000 people across the UK. We fund vital research, campaign for access to life-changing treatments, and provide support to people living with CF and their families.
About the Role
Wear Yellow Day is one of Cystic Fibrosis Trust's flagship fundraising campaigns, bringing people together across the UK to raise awareness and vital funds for everyone affected by cystic fibrosis.
Since launching more than a decade ago, Wear Yellow Day participants have raised over £1 million to support Cystic Fibrosis Trust's work. We're now looking ahead to Wear Yellow Day 2027, taking place on 11 June 2027, and are seeking enthusiastic Champions to help us build on that success.
As a Wear Yellow Day Champion, you'll help spread the word about the campaign through your own networks. Whether that's encouraging colleagues, inspiring friends and family, promoting Wear Yellow Day within a school or community group, or sharing campaign messages online, you'll play an important role in helping make the campaign a success.
By joining us early, you'll also have the opportunity to help shape ideas, build awareness and generate momentum ahead of Wear Yellow Day 2027.
This is a UK based role and a flexible volunteering opportunity that can fit around your existing commitments. Full training, resources and support will be provided.
What You'll Be Doing
You could support us in a variety of ways, including:
- Promoting Wear Yellow Day within your workplace, school, university, community group or local network.
- Encouraging friends, family members, colleagues and community contacts to take part.
- Sharing campaign messages, fundraising ideas and promotional resources.
- Raising awareness through social media and other communication channels.
- Helping people access campaign information and resources.
- Celebrating and sharing the achievements of Wear Yellow Day participants.
- Sharing ideas and feedback to help improve future campaigns.
We recognise that every volunteer brings different strengths, experiences and connections, and aspects of the role can be tailored accordingly.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for people who:
- Are enthusiastic about supporting Cystic Fibrosis Trust and Wear Yellow Day.
- Enjoy encouraging and inspiring others.
- Feel comfortable communicating with a variety of people.
- Are confident sharing information within their own networks and communities.
- Have access to email and basic digital communication tools.
- Are passionate about raising awareness and supporting people affected by cystic fibrosis.
Previous fundraising or volunteering experience is welcome but not essential. We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of cystic fibrosis, either directly or through a family member, although this is not a requirement.
Why Volunteer with Us?
- Help raise awareness of cystic fibrosis and inspire others to get involved.
- Play an important role in one of Cystic Fibrosis Trust's flagship campaigns.
- Develop confidence, communication and leadership skills.
- Gain valuable experience in campaigning, fundraising and community engagement.
- Meet other passionate supporters and become part of a supportive community.
- Receive training, guidance and ongoing support from our team.
Time Commitment
This is a flexible, campaign-based volunteering opportunity. While momentum typically builds during the six weeks leading up to Wear Yellow Day, Champions are welcome to contribute throughout the year in a way that works for them.
