At KWC, we provide a safe, non-judgmental and caring environment where women can begin to build emotional resilience and regain a sense of control over their lives.

Many of the women who come to us find our service through online searches when they are actively looking for support.
Through the Google Ad Grants programme, charities like ours can access up to $10,000 per month in Google Ads credits to help people discover our services online.

We’re looking for help to ensure we are making the most effective use of this opportunity so that more women who need support can find us easily.

As a small charity with very limited marketing resources, we would hugely value the expertise of someone who can help us sense-check our current approach and guide us towards the most impactful way of structuring and running evergreen campaigns.

The goal of this project is to help more women discover our service online and feel confident taking the first step towards booking an introductory counselling assessment.

Even a modest improvement in how we use our Google Ad Grant could help more women in our local area access counselling support at the moment they are actively seeking help.

For someone with paid search experience, this project offers the opportunity to use those skills in a way that could have a direct and meaningful impact on women seeking support in their local community.

We’re primarily looking for strategic guidance and support setting up a strong evergreen campaign structure that our team can maintain over time, rather than ongoing campaign management.

We anticipate this being a short, focused project involving an account review, campaign structure recommendations, and initial set-up guidance.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who is comfortable taking initiative, coordinating people and projects, improving systems and bringing structure to a growing organisation.

While initially offered on a voluntary basis, there is potential for the position to develop into a paid role as the organisation grows and secures additional funding.

Fuel the Vision: Help Us Fund a Loneliness-Free Tower Hamlets!

Are you a fundraising champion looking for a project where your skills will directly change lives?

Do you know how to turn a powerful vision into the vital funding needed to make it a reality?

We are a brand-new, grassroots charity in Tower Hamlets on a mission to shatter isolation, build deep connections, and strengthen our local community through activities and events. We are starting small, but we have big plans to scale up. To get off the ground, launch our first programmes, and grow sustainably, we need a powerhouse Fundraising Committee & Team to lead the charge.

If you are an experienced fundraiser who wants to build something beautiful from scratch, your skills have a home here.

The Roles We Need

We are building a dynamic, collaborative team and are looking for brilliant minds with experience in:

• Grant Writers & Trust Fundraisers: To help us research, draft, and secure foundation grants and local government funding. 

• Crowdfunding & Digital Innovators: To launch engaging online campaigns and digital drives that capture hearts and minds. 

• Community Fundraisers: To connect with local businesses, organise inspiring events, and build grassroots support across Tower Hamlets. 

• Strategic Fundraisers: To help us design a sustainable, multi-channel income strategy for long-term growth. 

The Commitment

• Flexible Hours: Just a few hours per week. 

• Tailored to You: We welcome both short-term support (e.g., helping us launch a specific crowdfunding campaign or write an initial grant) and long-term champions who want to grow with us. 

• Location: Remote-friendly, with opportunities to meet locally in Tower Hamlets. 

Why Your Skills Matter Here

As a start-up charity, you won’t just be managing an existing pot of money—you will be the architects of our financial foundation. Every grant secured and every pound raised translates directly into a lonely neighbor finding a friend, a community event coming to life, and a stronger Tower Hamlets. You will see the direct impact of your talent immediately.

Let’s fund connection. Let’s strengthen Tower Hamlets together!

Use your expertise to shape education, influence communities, and grow as a leader 

Role available at City of Sunderland College.

Are you a business leader or corporate professional looking to make a meaningful impact outside the boardroom? 

By becoming a volunteer governor at a further education (FE) or sixth form college, you’ll help shape the strategic direction of an organisation that transforms lives through education and skills—while strengthening your own governance experience and leadership credentials. 

Why it’s relevant to professionals like you 

Further education colleges train over 1.6 million learners annually, preparing the skilled workforce that keeps our economy moving—from engineers and IT specialists to healthcare professionals and construction experts. 

As a college governor, you’ll sit on the board of an FE institution (and registered charity), where your insight into strategy, risk, people, or finance will have a direct impact on how public funds are spent, how performance is measured, and how learners are supported to succeed. 

This is an opportunity to: 

• Apply your corporate skills in a leadership role 

• Gain board-level experience and enhance your CV 

• Contribute to local economic growth and social mobility 

• Support a vital sector during a time of transformation 

What will you be doing? 

As part of a governing board, you’ll: 

• Set strategic direction: help define the college’s mission and goals 

• Hold leadership to account: monitor finances, performance, and outcomes 

• Ensure governance excellence: make decisions in the best interests of learners and stakeholders 

• Act as a charity trustee: ensure financial sustainability and legal compliance 

You’ll also engage with senior leaders and external stakeholders, including local employers, regulators, and community partners. 

Who are we looking for? 

We welcome professionals from a broad range of sectors, including but not limited to: 

• Finance, Audit & Risk 

• HR, People & Culture 

• Strategy, Transformation & Operations 

• Technology, AI & Digital 

• Legal, Governance & Compliance 

• Marketing, PR & Communications 

• Education, apprenticeships, or vocational courses 

What matters most is your strategic thinking, commercial awareness, and commitment to helping others succeed. 

Prior education experience is not required. Full induction and training are provided, with access to DfE-funded development and peer mentoring where needed. 

Time commitment 

Expect to give approximately 1–2 days per month, including: 

• Attending board and committee meetings (in person or remote) 

• Reading papers and preparing questions 

• Participating in training and occasional college visits 

The time commitment is manageable alongside a full-time role—and many employers actively support staff to take on governance roles as part of their professional development. 

Where you’ll be needed 

Some colleges offer remote governance and meetings take place online. This may suit you best, or we may suggest a role where you volunteer on a hybrid basis at a college within a reasonable distance from you. We are recruiting governors for colleges across England, with new opportunities added regularly. 

What’s in it for you? 

This role offers the opportunity to: 

• Enhance your board-level and governance experience 

• Develop strategic oversight and leadership outside your day-to-day role 

• Expand your professional network 

• Give back in a way that creates long-term, measurable impact 

About Boards for Education

With more than 25 years’ experience and a national network of partners, we connect schools, academy trusts, colleges, and education charities across England and Wales with skilled, independent volunteers. 

Ready to step into a strategic, purpose-driven leadership role?
