We're recruiting on behalf of our partners at MINDSET.
BUILD SOMETHING THAT CHANGES MEN’S LIVES IN LONDON
MINDSET Charity
Trustee Recruitment (Volunteer Roles)
Chair • Treasurer • Fundraising Trustee • Safeguarding Lead • Strategy & Development Trustees
WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR TRADITIONAL TRUSTEES. WE’RE LOOKING FOR BUILDERS.
MINDSET is a bold, preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London. We don’t do clinical therapy. We don’t sit on couches. We build systems, habits, and psychological tools that help men stay strong long before crisis hits.
We exist because too many good men have been breaking in silence. Our founder lived that reality — losing his father and close friends to battles they were never given the tools to fight. Their stories became our mission: no more preventable exits. No more silent suffering. No more men fighting alone.
Now we’re building a movement. A training ground. A new standard for male mental fitness.
And to launch this charity with strength, focus, and integrity, we need a small, high‑energy, high‑impact Trustee Board who can help us build MINDSET from the ground up.
THE ROLES WE’RE RECRUITING
1. Chair of Trustees
A steady, strategic leader who can guide our early direction, keep us aligned with our mission, and help us build a strong, safe, compliant organisation. You’ll be the anchor of our governance and the champion of our preventative mental fitness vision.
2. Treasurer
A numbers‑driven, detail‑focused trustee with UK accounting experience who can help us build lean, efficient financial systems. You’ll ensure our budgets, reporting, and financial planning are rock‑solid as we grow.
3. Fundraising & Grants Trustee
A proactive connector who can open doors, build partnerships, and secure funding. You’ll lead our grants strategy, donor relationships, and fundraising campaigns to fuel our 12‑week programmes. You'll also lead our board in fundraising areas and matters.
4. Safeguarding Lead Trustee
A calm, experienced safeguarding professional who ensures our boys and men are protected at every step. You’ll help us build safe systems, strong policies, and a culture of responsibility. You'll also lead our board in safeguarding areas and matters.
Additional Trustees (Various Specialisms)
We’re also seeking trustees with experience in:
Strategy & organisational development
Mental health, wellbeing, coaching or personal development
Monitoring, evaluation & impact measurement
Youth work or education
Digital operations & community building
Start‑up charities or early‑stage organisations
If you bring clarity, energy, and a passion for helping men and boys build stronger futures, we want you on our team.
WHY JOIN MINDSET?
1. Because this isn’t a passive board role — it’s a founding mission.
You’ll help shape the charity’s identity, culture, and long‑term direction.
2. Because our model is modern, lean, and high‑impact.
We operate like a fitness brand, not a slow-moving charity. Fast execution. Clean systems. High energy.
3. Because every decision you make will change real lives.
Every metric we track represents a boy, a father, a mate — staying in the game.
4. Because we’re building something West London genuinely needs.
A stigma‑free, practical, preventative space where men and boys learn to build habits, not hide feelings.
WHAT WE ASK OF YOU
Attend in‑person meetings in London (especially early on for Charity Commission documents).
Bring your skills, your ideas, your networks, and your leadership.
Help us build strong governance, safe systems, and a scalable model.
Champion our mission and represent MINDSET with passion, including helping us spread our social media presence by liking and sharing our posts.
Commit to a role that genuinely matters.
JOIN US.
HELP US BUILD MINDSET.
HELP US CHANGE THE STORY FOR MEN AND BOYS IN LONDON.
If you’re ready to help build a charity with purpose, energy, and real impact, we’d love to hear from you.

Children with Voices started over 20 years ago with one woman, a community hall and a belief that no child in Hackney should be forgotten. Our founder Michelle began with a Winter Wonderland for local children at London Fields School, covered by the Hackney Gazette, after being named Family Mosaic Inspirational Tenant of the Year.
Today we are a registered charity at Fawcett Estate Community Hall in Clapton, running a Community Food Hub, Jumping Beans, SEND support, alternative education and work in local schools. Over 100,000 children and families have come through our doors.
We are looking for a volunteer Secretary to support our Board of Trustees and help keep our governance organised and on track.
The right volunteer will be someone who is organised, reliable and comfortable working with confidential information. You might be a retired professional with experience in administration, governance or supporting a Board, or someone looking to build practical experience in charity governance. You do not need previous Board experience as we will support you.
Duties and responsibilities:
• Preparing agendas and sending board papers out ahead of meetings
• Taking accurate minutes and ensuring they are approved and properly filed
• Keeping track of actions between Board meetings so important tasks do not get forgotten
• Keeping our trustee and conflicts of interest registers up to date
• Helping make sure important Charity Commission and Companies House deadlines are met
• Handling confidential Board and governance information with appropriate discretion
We would be looking for the prospective volunteer to give approximately 4–6 hours a month. Board meetings take place quarterly, alongside the AGM. The role is based in Hackney with remote working available.
What you will need:
Clear and accurate writing, because good minutes and Board papers need to be understood by everyone. Strong organisation and reliability, because keeping a Board on track means following things through. Discretion, as you will sometimes be dealing with confidential matters. Governance or Board experience would be helpful but is not essential.
What you will get from us:
The chance to gain genuine Board-level and charity governance experience and see how a community charity is run from the inside. A full induction and proper support, so you are never left to figure things out alone. Direct experience working with our Board of Trustees and leadership team. A personal reference from our Founder and CEO, Michelle, and the knowledge that your work is helping our charity run properly for the children and families we support.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

About Project Yananai

Our mission is to inspire and empower individuals and communities by fostering enduring relationships, enhancing sustainable skills, and delivering compassionate humanitarian aid.

Registered in the UK, with operations across India, South Africa, Zambia and Zimbabwe, we are building an organisation focused on empowering individuals and communities, strengthening sustainable livelihoods and delivering compassionate humanitarian support.
We are now seeking an exceptional Deputy Chief Executive Officer (DCEO) to join our Global Executive Leadership Team and work in close partnership with the CEO.
This is a newly created role for a senior leader who can operate comfortably at both strategic and operational level — someone who can help turn ambition into execution, bring clarity across a growing organisation and provide confident leadership when the CEO is unavailable.

The opportunity
As DCEO, you will provide the leadership capacity and organisational resilience needed to support Project Yananai through its next stage of development.
You will partner with the CEO to translate our Strategic Growth and Impact Plan into clear priorities, ensure that those priorities are delivered across the organisation and help connect our executive functions around shared goals.
When required, you will step into the CEO's responsibilities, providing continuity of leadership and representing the organisation with confidence to donors, partners, government bodies, media and other key stakeholders.
This is an opportunity to have genuine organisational influence at a pivotal moment — helping shape how a growing international non-profit operates, leads and delivers impact.
What you will do
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a seasoned executive, rather than simply an experienced functional leader.
You will ideally bring 10–15+ years of senior leadership experience within the non-profit, international development or humanitarian sector, together with a track record of leading organisations through growth, transformation or complexity.
You will be able to demonstrate:
The leadership qualities that matter
Why Project Yananai?
This is not an opportunity to simply inherit an established structure. You will help build it!
You will join at a pivotal stage in Project Yananai's development, working directly with the CEO, Global Executive Leadership Team and Board to strengthen the organisation and prepare it for its next phase of growth.
You will have the opportunity to:
Project Yananai is an equal opportunity organisation. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all colleagues. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures. Project Yananai is a UK registered charity number 1209060.
