Digital fundraising support officer volunteer roles

Looking for a role where you can drive forward cancer prevention and earlier diagnosis within an innovative, impact focused research charity?  

The Eve Appeal is recruiting up to 3 new Trustees to the Board with additional opportunities to join other Committees of the Board such as our Finance and Audit Committee or Research Committee. 

The Eve Appeal is the leading gynaecological cancer charity. There are five gynae cancers, which are womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal cancer. Our aim is to prevent gynae cancers from developing in the first place, but if they do develop, we want to make sure they’re detected early so more people survive their diagnosis.

To make our goals a reality, we fund research in four key areas: uncovering the causes of gynae cancers, predicting a person’s risk of developing them, identifying how people can reduce their risk, and improving their detection and diagnosis.

We educate; we increase awareness and we provide free confidential and expert information through our Ask Eve nurse service.

We are now looking to strengthen our Board and are seeking candidates who share our commitment to driving forward medical research, raising awareness and promoting education around how these diseases can be diagnosed at the earliest stage or prevented.

We are committed to broadening the range of backgrounds and perspectives represented on our Board. We particularly welcome applications from Black, Asian, Disabled, Working Class and younger candidates, as well as individuals based outside London.

We also strongly encourage applications from people with lived experience—including patients, survivors, carers and family members. Bringing in Trustees who are expert by experience adds valuable insight and perspectives into the emotional, practical and systemic challenges faced by those affected, enriching the Board’s understanding and improving decision‑making. 

We have a highly skilled Board of Trustees and are looking to broaden and strengthen skills in the following areas: 

• Fundraising and philanthropic giving. We have seen incredible success with our fundraising programme in recent years and are now particularly focused on building our major gifts programme 

• Digital, AI tech solutions and strategy. We are ambitious to adopt solutions across all areas of our activity that embrace digital technology 

• HR / People. Experience across culture, staff and volunteer wellbeing, effective recruitment skills and organisational culture experience 

• Research / medical / NHS strategy and delivery experience. Experience in the UK / and or international health sector (private, public, academic).

Becoming a Trustee 

You will help lead the Board’s responsibilities across all areas of governance including strategy development and staff mentoring, evaluation and impact, ensuring donor and beneficiary aspirations, commitments and needs are met and the charity is fulfilling all of its charitable objects and agreed strategic objectives.

You will work within the legal and regulatory framework set out by the Charity Commission and will be supported by the CEO and senior staff team at Eve to enable you to do this effectively. You will have exceptional communication, interpersonal and analytical skills with the confidence and ability to ensure decisions are actioned in a timely manner. 

This is a voluntary role, with reasonable expenses reimbursed. In return you’ll gain valuable experience and satisfaction, and the opportunity to develop your skills and utilise your expertise and knowledge. 

People from all backgrounds are welcomed, as The Eve Appeal aspires to build a committed and diverse board that reflects our beneficiaries and communities. 

To apply please submit a CV and covering letter.

You are the person who thinks “this would make a good post”, while activities are taking place. More than that, your interest and belief in digital communications as a force for good should be backed with an interest in data and analytics, using them to influence our overall communication strategy.

Your role would include:

• Interacting with our digital communities to increase engagement, followers and the quality of user experience.

• After completion of a three-month trial, if you commit long-term, a small monthly expenses refund

In certain periods of the year, demand is extremely high, and the shared houses might be full. If you have the means to pay for your own accommodation, please let us know. We would still be happy to host you if space is available. However, in a situation where the shared houses are full, this would allow us to offer an opportunity to someone that cannot afford to pay rent.

Have experience leading a team of this type?

Consider applying to become a Communications Coordinator. Whether your experience lies in the humanitarian sector or elsewhere, we are looking for people with expertise that can drive us forward as an organisation.

Looking for an internship?

If, because of your degree or for any other reason, you would like to have your period at Second Tree credited as an internship, just apply to the vacancy that you’re interested in and mention this. We have agreements with several universities across Europe, and in many other cases, these agreements can be developed on an ad hoc basis.

NOTE: If you require a visa to stay in Greece for the minimum ten-week commitment, please know that as a Greek NGO, we are unable to sponsor your visa.

The Role

We are seeking a creative, strategic, and people‑centred Head of Brand, Partnerships & Impact to lead REMIX’s outward‑facing work. This is a dynamic, entrepreneurial role for someone who loves storytelling, relationship‑building, and amplifying a movement’s voice.

• Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

VOLUNTEER CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER (COO)

Join SUNSHINE — Bringing Connection, Joy, Community Spirit and SUNSHINE to Every Neighbourhood

WHO WE ARE

SUNSHINE is a start‑up loneliness charity at the very beginning of its journey — a modern, volunteer‑powered movement bringing people together through simple, meaningful activities that spark connection, build confidence, and spread joy.

Our work reflects the diversity of London — its cultures, communities, and neighbourhoods.

We don’t rely on a building or a centre. We go where people already are — parks, libraries, cafés, community halls, online spaces, neighbourhood corners. Wherever people gather, we show up with warmth, welcome, and community spirit.

Loneliness affects people of all ages and backgrounds, often silently.

We’re building a future where every neighbourhood feels connected, supported, and full of opportunities for people to grow, contribute, and belong. If you believe in people, community, and the power of small moments to create big impact, you’ll feel right at home here.

WHAT WE DO

SUNSHINE will be delivering free and low‑cost community‑led activities that help people connect, learn, and thrive.

• Health and wellbeing sessions.

• Skills workshops (digital, creative, financial, employment readiness).

• Family‑friendly activities.

• Neighbourhood outreach in underserved areas.

• Volunteer‑led community projects.

Everything we do is shaped by local voices and powered by volunteers — bringing connection, joy, and community spirit to the places people already love.

OUR APPROACH

• Local - We go where people already are.
• Inclusive - Everyone is welcome.
• Flexible -  We adapt to community needs.
• Volunteer‑Powered - People make this possible.

THE ROLE - GET INVOLVED

We’re looking for a Volunteer Chief Operating Officer (COO), you’ll help design the systems, processes, and culture that will shape SUNSHINE for years to come.

As our Volunteer COO, you will:

• Oversee day‑to‑day operations and help build a strong organisational foundation.

• You’ll help ensure our work is safe, inclusive, and accessible for people from all walks of life.

• Support volunteer teams and help create a positive, empowering culture.

• Lead on policies, safeguarding, risk management, and operational planning.

• Work closely with the Founder/CEO to shape strategy and future growth.

• Ensure our activities run smoothly across multiple neighbourhoods.

• Champion our values and help embed them in everything we do.

This role is perfect for someone who:

• Loves people and community.

• Enjoys building structure in a warm, human way.

• Thrives in start‑up environments.

• Wants to use their skills to create real social impact and help reduce loneliness and social isolation.

• Believes in volunteer‑powered change.

• Wants to bring connection, joy, and SUNSHINE to local neighbourhoods.

Time commitment is flexible and can fit around your life. We welcome people from all backgrounds and experiences.

WHY IT MATTERS

Loneliness is one of the biggest challenges facing our communities today. Too many people feel disconnected, unseen, or without a place to belong.

SUNSHINE exists to change that.

By joining us as our Volunteer COO, you’ll help build a charity that brings people together, strengthens neighbourhoods, and creates opportunities for connection, confidence, joy, and community spirit. Your leadership will directly shape the future of a movement powered by volunteers and rooted in kindness and belonging.

We work with socially disadvantaged and excluded young people, aiming to combat social exclusion, improve educational achievement and build resilient, confident leaders. Our mission is to empower and enrich the lives of young Black people and young people from the global majority, radically transforming educational and employment pathways. You will find more information on our website outlining our mission, programmes, partnerships and impact.

Voyage is led and governed by our committed, majority-diverse Board of Trustees, Youth Advisory Board, CEO and leadership team. Our organisation would not succeed without the dedication of our programme leaders and staff team. We have bold ambitions for Voyage, including completing our transition to Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status and deepening our work across three pillars: Education, Access and Youth Voice. To support this next phase, we now need additional skills on our Board. We are specifically looking for people with one or more of the following:

·broad fundraising or income generation experience

·experience in the higher or further education sector

·education product development or commercial/business development experience

·governance and board development

We are open to other skills and experiences too. If you share our passion for social justice and supporting young people from Black and other global majority backgrounds to raise their expectations and fulfil their potential, we would welcome your application. We are especially interested in people currently underrepresented in charity governance.

Sincerely
Siobhan O’Garro (Board Chair)

About us

Our mission - We ignite and inspire the next generation, building resilience to tackle the UK’s most pressing issues.

Our vision - Every young person can be a voice for change in their community and the world.
Our philosophy - Each One Teach One.
Our values - Empower – Transform – Sustain.

We provide accredited transformational leadership programmes for young people from the global majority. We aim to increase educational attainment, build community resilience and develop empowered young leaders who go on to reach their full potential and often return to Voyage to inspire the next generation.

Our work and plans

Voyage has recently come through a very challenging two year period that has significantly impacted our ability to attract investment and grow and rebuild staff capacity. At the same time, the national rolling back of ESG, DEI and wider CSR agendas has reduced investment in the very communities and young people our work exists to support. Despite this, Voyage remains resilient and is committed to overcoming these challenges. We have developed a business-led approach that places our young people at the centre of reversing this trend demonstrating the essential role that diversity, youth leadership and social justice play in future-focused industries.

We support young people through accredited education offers leading to employment and industry accesswork and opportunities to highlight the voice of our young people. This pathway of empowerment can be seen in our longest-standing strand, rooted in our BTEC level II accredited Safer cities course designed to support young people who are at risk of being marginalized due to challenging behaviour, damaging relationships and poor engagement with school.

A major element of our renewed strategy is our focus on sustainability and climate justice. Our mission helps us connect our diversity agenda to these sectors that are currently under-represented yet abundant with opportunity. Voyage is therefore aligning youth leadership, diversity and green-skills development through:

·our new Young Leaders Course - Sustainable Cities, supporting young people to understand climate resilience, urban change and green career pathways

·our Horizons Youth Programme for the Environment (HyPE), equipping at-risk young people with employability skills, training and entry points into environmental and retrofit careers

Further plans include:

·developing and rolling out a third BTEC accredited course linked to the under-represented but opportunity-rich digital sector - the Smart Cities;

·completing our transition to Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO) status to give us more flexible and agile income-generation options;

·growing Youth Voice as both an income-generating and influence-building strand, enabling young people to shape policy, practice and public discourse; and

·position Voyage as a London leader in youth justice, climate equity and youth-led social innovation, with a developing national profile

Our constitution

Trustees provide oversight and scrutiny of Voyage’s management, operations and strategic direction, ensuring compliance with the Charity Commission and alignment with our mission, vision and values.

Chief Operating Officer (COO) – VOLUNTEER

5–10 hours per week | Shoreditch, London | Start‑Up Youth Social Mobility Charity

About REMIX

REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We are in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a passionate, entrepreneurial COO to help shape REMIX’s operational heartbeat from the ground up.

The Role

We are seeking a driven, organised, and people‑centred Chief Operating Officer (COO) to lead REMIX’s operations and work closely with the CEO to guide the charity through its start‑up phase and beyond. This is a hands‑on, strategic, and highly collaborative role for someone who thrives in early‑stage environments and loves turning vision into reality.

As COO, you will help build the systems, processes, culture, and operational foundations that will allow REMIX to grow sustainably and deliver high‑impact programmes for young Londoners.

Time commitment: 5–10 hours per week, including:

• Bi‑monthly Board meetings

• Working groups and leadership sessions

• COO duties, operational planning, partnership building, and organisational development

Key Responsibilities

As COO, you will:

• Lead REMIX’s day‑to‑day operations, ensuring smooth, effective, and values‑driven delivery.

• Work closely with the CEO to develop and implement organisational strategy, systems, and processes.

• Build operational frameworks for programmes, safeguarding, volunteer management, and quality assurance.

• Support the development of policies, procedures, and internal structures as the charity grows.

• Oversee operational risk management and ensure compliance with charity regulations.

• Foster a positive, collaborative culture across volunteers, mentors, and Trustees.

• Drive innovation, problem‑solving, and continuous improvement across all areas of the charity.

• Represent REMIX with professionalism, warmth, and credibility when engaging with partners and stakeholders.

This role blends leadership, operations, people management, and strategic development — perfect for someone who enjoys variety, pace, and impact.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need previous COO experience — we welcome people stepping into senior leadership for the first time. What matters most is your passion, your drive, and your ability to lead with purpose.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Entrepreneurial, proactive, and excited by building something new.

• A strong communicator with excellent people skills.

• Confident working collaboratively with the CEO, Trustees, volunteers, and partners.

• Equally comfortable working independently and taking initiative.

• Organised, reliable, and able to create structure in a start‑up environment.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience in operations, programme delivery, charity management, safeguarding, or organisational development is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong leadership potential and a willingness to learn.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping the operational foundations of a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• Influence culture, systems, and long‑term sustainability from day one.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Gain senior leadership experience in operations, strategy, and organisational development.

• Make a meaningful, lasting impact on the lives of young Londoners.

This is your chance to build the engine of a movement.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 6pm
