Fundraising and partnership manager volunteer roles

The Position

We are looking for a Grants Officer who can support us with diverse tasks that include looking for grants opportunities, project development, proposals writing, and liaising with potential partners and donors. In this role you’ll be a key contributor to the continued existence of Second Tree, which is dependent on grants to survive, and to the creation of new projects and partnerships. To do this successfully, you'll need to employ meticulous time-management and organisation skills, as juggling multiple tasks with competing deadlines is common in this role.

The role will include:

• Researching and identifying new grant opportunities on a weekly basis

• Summarising relevant grant opportunities and suggesting how to best respond and comply with them

• Researching information and data necessary for grants and grant reporting

• Supporting the design of new projects

• Supporting with proposal writing

• Maintaining necessary records, files, reports, databases, and resource materials for the Grants team

• Working with the wider Second Tree team to ensure that all project proposals align with organisational, and programme strategies

• Establishing and maintaining connections with funding bodies

You should be able to:

• Professionally communicate in English (verbally and in writing)

• Read, comprehend, interpret, summarise and follow proposal guidelines

• Work to tight deadlines with flexibility and a problem-solving attitude;

• Conduct thorough, high-quality, independent research

• Work both independently and as part of a team

• Manage and prioritise projects effectively to meet team and proposal deadlines

The ideal candidate will have:

• Working knowledge of project management techniques such as LFA

• Knowledge of and experience with grant-giving bodies and other external funding sources (e.g. European Commission)

• A strong sense of logic while building an argument

What We Offer:

• A nurturing and collaborative working environment. We work hard to help our team members grow, investing in personal and professional development.

• Accommodation in a shared house

• Transportation to/from work

• 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 Grants 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.

We encourage applicants to join us in person, but if this is not possible we will consider remote applications for this role.

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.

We are a 100% volunteer‑led organisation supporting adults aged 18–67 who face barriers to employment, education, confidence, and wellbeing. Our programmes are trauma‑informed, community‑based, and rooted in human connection.

• Work closely with the CEO and Heads of Function to turn strategy into practical, reliable delivery.

• Develop processes for scheduling, logistics, risk management, and participant flow.

• Support volunteer teams to deliver high‑quality, trauma‑informed sessions.

• Oversee monitoring, evaluation, and reporting systems to track impact and learning.

• Ensure the organisation operates with care, dignity, and operational excellence.

This is a senior leadership role where your work will shape the rhythm, reliability, and long‑term sustainability of our movement.

• Highly organised, calm under pressure, and values‑driven.

• Experienced in operations, service delivery, project management, or charity leadership.

• Confident building systems, processes, and structures from scratch.

• Skilled at coordinating people, programmes, and logistics.

• Passionate about trauma‑informed, person‑centred practice.

• Able to balance strategic thinking with hands‑on operational delivery.

• Gain senior leadership experience in a growing charity.

• Make a real difference to adults who feel unseen and unsupported.

Do you want to help change the future? And make your mark on our democracy? 

Join us. 

Elect Her is building a world where 51% (or more!) of elected officials are women. We are a non-partisan organisation working to motivate, support and equip women in all their diversity to stand for political office, in Britain, and thrive once there. 

At Elect Her, women receive the support they need on their unique political journey. Every democratic path is different and consequently we have targeted interventions, at each stage, to provide the best tools to improve women’s chances and access to elected office and, once there, help them remain in office. At the local level 50% of the women we support win - but every woman who stands makes democracy, democracy! 

Despite progress, women remain underrepresented at all levels of UK politics—only 40% nationally, 27% regionally, and 34% locally. This is not due to a lack of capable women, but because the political system is structurally biased. We’ve mapped the barriers to entry and are working on removing them and reshaping the political system so that all women can thrive once elected.

We’re recruiting for three new Directors to join our board, including a Treasurer.

If you are strategic, constructively critical, collaborative and with a passion for representation - we want to hear from you!

Closing date for applications is 27th February 2026

We can’t wait to meet you!

Join SUNSHINE as Our First Chief Operating Officer (Volunteer Role)

Help us spark joy, connection, and community across London - Be a SUNSHINE Volunteer and bring your 'Heart of Gold'

Loneliness is one of the quietest challenges of our time, but at SUNSHINE, we believe in the power of people coming together to change that story and breakthrough the cloud of darkness with beautful rays of sunshine.

SUNSHINE is a brand new loneliness and wellbeing charity with a simple but powerful mission: to bring people together, spread joy, nurture community spirit, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.

With our charity application submitted, our dedicated Board of Trustees in place, and a series of exciting pilot programmes ready to launch, we are stepping into a defining moment and we’re looking for someone extraordinary to step in with us.

Could you be our first ever Chief Operating Officer?

This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to help shape a charity from the ground up. We’re searching for a volunteer who brings:

• Leadership that inspires confidence and care

• A people-first mindset and natural warmth

• Entrepreneurial energy and a love of building things that matter

• Dedication to community, wellbeing, and social impact

• A collaborative spirit and a willingness to roll up their sleeves

As our inaugural COO, you will work closely with our Founder and CEO to steer, shape, and strengthen SUNSHINE — ensuring our programmes, operations, and culture shine as brightly as our mission.

What you’ll help us build

• Pilot programmes that bring neighbours together.

• Welcoming spaces where joy and connection can flourish.

• Operational systems that support a growing movement.

• A charity rooted in compassion, community, and hope.

• A legacy that reaches across London and beyond.

This is more than a role, it’s a chance to help write the opening chapter of a charity designed to lift people up, brighten lives, and transform communities.

Why SUNSHINE?

Because we believe in:

• Joy as a form of care

• Community as a source of strength

• Connection as a human right

• People as the heart of everything we do

If you’re someone who leads with purpose, dreams boldly, and wants to make a real difference, we would love to meet you.

How we work (and what you can expect when joining the team)

We don’t believe in KPIs or harsh targets; that’s not our style. We’re a values-led, cause-driven team that measures success by the quality of relationships we build, the opportunities we uncover together, and the impact we make for our beneficiaries. Numbers can be useful, but we don’t use quotas or pressure to motivate people. Instead, we focus on collaboration, learning, and genuine enthusiasm for finding the right people who align with our mission.

What this looks like in the marketing team

In practice, you’ll join a supportive creative team that shares story leads, swaps ideas, and helps each other refine drafts. We celebrate curiosity, voice, and progress, not just outcomes. We’ll agree on simple, shared goals and light check-ins so everyone knows where we’re heading, but we won’t impose arbitrary targets or dashboards. If a post doesn’t land or a campaign underperforms, we treat it as learning—not failure—and we improve it together. Yours and our wellbeing and growth matter to us as much as the content we publish. We understand that content engagement takes time and effort to develop.

How we create together

You’ll have space to research, think, and craft clear, accessible writing across channels (web, email, social, print or channels you have been assigned to). We work from short creative briefs, friendly peer reviews, and a living style guide, so you’re never writing in a vacuum. We co-create with programme colleagues and volunteers, turning real experiences into stories, explainers, and resources that help people connect with our mission.

Ethical, inclusive storytelling

We take ethical marketing seriously. We prioritise respectful, consent-based storytelling, plain language, and accessibility (e.g., clear structure, alt text, readable layouts). We’d rather publish fewer, stronger pieces that we’re proud of than chase volume for the sake of a metric. You’ll have time to fact-check and shape narratives that are honest, strengths-based, and aligned with our values.

Your voice, our mission

Bring your ideas! Pitch topics, test formats, and iterate. We’ll back you with constructive feedback, and opportunities to grow your craft while keeping our shared focus on meaningful content that supports the communities we serve.

If you’re motivated by purpose, teamwork, and thoughtful posts (rather than meeting a quota) you’ll feel right at home with us! But remember, because of this supportive and collaborative culture we maintain, we will honestly rely on you to fulfil your share of the work.

 Before you apply

We’re really grateful for every volunteer’s time and contribution. Please note we’re unable to provide professional references for volunteers who haven’t actively participated and engaged with our work for at least four months and/or delivered tangible outcomes*. Your work is valued even if your circumstances change and you’re not able to fulfil the time and hours we originally agreed. However, because professional references require a higher level of commitment, meaningful contribution, and long-term dedication, we can only provide them when we’ve worked together long enough and seen clear results from your involvement, to give future employers a fair, well-informed reference.

*By “tangible outcomes,” we mean clear contributions such as completing agreed tasks or projects, meeting deadlines, producing work we can review, or making measurable progress toward team goals. If a professional reference isn’t possible, we’re happy to confirm your volunteering dates and role instead.
