Seeking a Chair/Co-Chair and a Treasurer

Are you passionate about helping children develop a love of reading? 

We are looking for a Chair/Co-Chair and a Treasurer with Board level experience to support our small but mighty charity to bring the joy of reading to primary school children across the country.

Location: Online Salary: Voluntary with reasonable expenses reimbursed

Deadline for applications: 30th September 2026

About Us:

The Children’s Bookshow is a national charity that inspires children with a love of books and reading through an annual programme of inspiring theatre and digital performances and engaging creative workshops. We showcase some of the best authors and illustrators of children’s books from around the world, and celebrate children’s literature in translation. 

We are an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation that has been running successfully for 24 years. Each year, we deliver 15 events in venues ranging from iconic theatres such as The Old Vic in London to community spaces and smaller scale theatres such as the New Wolsey in Ipswich, plus a programme of 60 creative workshops in primary schools. We target areas of high socio-economic deprivation, support environmental sustainability, and partner with local authorities, libraries and education providers. Every child who attends our theatre performances receives a free copy of the author’s book to take home and keep. This is integral to our offer - putting excellent books directly into the hands of children.

“Having Frank Cottrell-Boyce in for a free workshop really did make such a difference to our school and to our children. Frank was able to inspire every single child to write, no matter their need or ability, and children who would normally be reluctant to share their ideas in front of the class were confident to do so. Every single one of them went home talking non-stop about the amazing author they had met - with many now inspired to become authors. I can't put into words how grateful we are or how much of an impact those couple of hours have had on both the children and staff.”  Teacher,Winyates Primary, Peterborough

The opportunities:

If you have the expertise and passion to support our work and help us to deliver the impact and change experienced by Winyates Primary, then we would love to hear from you!

About The Pinnacle Centre

The Pinnacle Centre is a third space in Birmingham helping young adults grow holistically. We work across three domains: personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.

Vision 2030 is where that work is heading. We're building a multi-purpose centre in Birmingham — sports facilities, co-working space, an auditorium and a café — designed as a home for young adults to train, work, learn and gather.

Role Summary

You own what Pinnacle actually delivers to young adults — the design, quality and outcomes of our programmes across all three domains, and the week-to-week running of them. Events run the moments; you run the journeys people go on in between.

Key tasks

1.  Programme design

○ Design a coherent portfolio across personal development, sports and wellbeing, and community and belonging.

○ Define the intended outcome of every programme before it is built.

○ Retire programmes that no longer earn their place in the calendar.

2.  Delivery & coordination

○ Schedule sessions, facilitators and spaces across the programme calendar.

○ Prepare materials and resources, and host or support delivery.

○ Adapt on the day when numbers, rooms or facilitators change.

3.  Quality & facilitation

○ Set the standard for facilitation, content and participant experience.

○ Recruit, brief and develop facilitators, coaches and speakers.

○ Observe delivery regularly and give feedback that improves it.

4.  Participant journey

○ Welcome newcomers and make sure nobody is left standing on their own.

○ Design pathways so a first-time attendee has an obvious next step.

○ Follow up with people who have dropped off, and own retention.

5.  Impact & evidence

○ Define success in measurable terms and collect outcome data consistently.

○ Maintain accurate attendance records and gather stories and case studies.

○ Produce the impact evidence Fundraising needs for applications and funder reporting.

What we're looking for

● Programme design or delivery experience in youth work, education, learning and development or similar.

● Outcome-focused — you start from the change you want to see.

● Warm and approachable; people should want to talk to you.

● Comfortable with evaluation data and honest about what is not working.

● Reliable weekly availability.

● Safeguarding trained, or willing to be.

What we have to offer

● Real ownership of a function, not a task list — you will shape how it works, not just execute someone else's plan.

● A seat in a team building towards a 2030 horizon, with a clear line of sight to the leadership team.

● Access to our network of founders, professionals, entrepreneurs and investors through Pinnacle's events programme.

● Training, mentoring and the opportunity to build and lead a team of your own as the organisation grows.

● The reward of building something in your city that will outlast all of us.

Please note: this is currently a volunteer position. Reasonable expenses for travel, equipment and refreshments are reimbursed in line with our Expenses Policy. As Pinnacle grows and funding allows, we expect several senior roles to move to paid positions, and volunteers already in post will be considered first.

We are looking for a Communications Officer who can strategically identify and post engaging content for our social media feeds and other communication channels, which will inspire people to support our work with refugees and asylum seekers in Epirus. 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.

• Identifying key influencers and conversations that we should engage in to better showcase our work and expand our reach.

• Managing our other channels of communication, including newsletters, donor engagement, website and press service.

You should be able to:

• Manage communication channels in a professional capacity

• Create and deliver communication strategies for specific programmes and campaigns

• Produce regular data reports using Facebook Insights, LinkedIn Analytics, Google Analytics or similar tools, analysing data and adapt strategies accordingly 

• Keep up-to-date with the latest trends/developments in digital communications

• Identify key influential external figures and agencies to further our reach and impact

The ideal candidate will have:

• Experience working in a refugee context or with a vulnerable population

• Experience working in an NGO, Charity or in the field of human rights

What do 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?

Role Description

We are looking for one or two Christmas fair coordinators. Our Christmas Fair is a large festive community fundraising event held at Warmley Community Centre, running across a single Sunday in late November from 10.30am to 4pm. It brings together our own Bristol A.R.C. stalls alongside third party stallholders, and includes a festive pet photoshoot, a dog show, live music, a bake sale, raffle and tombolas, refreshments and children’s activities. It is one of our key community events of the year and a really lovely day out for local people and their pets.

This is an event coordination volunteer role leading on the organising of the fair, with the help and support of the Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager and the Fundraising Partnerships Officer in the office, as well as some other volunteers supporting the event.

This will be the fair’s second year, so a full and detailed handover is already in place, along with ongoing support from the two staff members named above and a group of volunteers who have helped to organise it before.
 

What would I be doing as a Volunteer Christmas Fair Coordinator?

As part of this role, you will be:

• Helping with the overall planning and coordination of the Christmas Fair, keeping everything on track in the months leading up to the event.
• Being the main point of contact for the venue, Warmley Community Centre, including agreeing the room layout and putting together a floor plan for the day.
• Assisting in recruiting, supporting and coordinating the team of event volunteers, including helping to run volunteer information sessions, allocating roles, creating the volunteer timetable, and keeping everyone informed and confident in the lead up to the day. 
• Recruiting and liaising with third party stallholders, including managing their bookings, stall fees, agreements and raffle prize donations. 
• Coordinating our own Bristol A.R.C. stalls and attractions, such as the children’s activities, the pet items shop, the bake sale, teddy adoption, the raffle and tombolas, and refreshments.
• Organising the key attractions that make the day special, including the festive pet photo shoot, the dog show and the live music, working with the volunteers and contacts who help to run them.
• Securing donations of prizes and items from local businesses and community groups for the raffle, tombolas and other stalls.
• Facilitating promotion of the event alongside the staff team, including posters, banners, local press and social media, and keeping track of where everything has been shared.
• Organising the preparation in the run up to the fair, such as the volunteer craft and prep evenings, sorting the floats and card payment setup, and getting the signage, floor plan and logistics ready.
• Overseeing the smooth set up and running of the event on the day, coordinating the volunteer team so that everything runs well from start to finish.
• Helping to make sure the event is safe and well run, including the risk assessment, first aid cover and allergen requirements, again with the support of the staff team.

What’s important for me to know?

here will be ongoing support from the Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager and the Fundraising Partnerships Officer, a detailed handover from last year’s fair, and an existing group of experienced volunteers who have helped to run the event before.

A lot of the groundwork is already in place from the first year, including templates, supplier and stallholder contacts, venue arrangements and tried and tested ways of doing things, so the volunteer would be building on solid foundations rather than starting from scratch. 

This would be a brilliant opportunity for someone looking to gain hands-on experience in event coordination and community fundraising, or for anyone who simply loves the idea of leading a joyful, festive event that raises vital funds for the animals in our care.

How are the shifts arranged, and how often would I volunteer?

This is a short term role running from September to late November, Initially your shift would be typically once a week, on the same day at the same time. We’re looking for someone who is available on a Thursday, preferably.  Occasionally during this time this role will involve some evening availability, mainly for speaking with the wider volunteer team and for the craft and preparation evenings in the lead up to the event. You would ideally be available for the full day of the fair itself, which runs on a Sunday in late November, with an early start for set up. 

What other dates do I need to be available for?

Subject to shortlisting, we shall be holding informal volunteer interviews for this role during September. If you are offered the role, initial on-site training for the role will begin in September.

Who will I be volunteering with?

• Our Philanthropy and Partnerships Manager and the Fundraising Partnerships Officer, will be the people you will volunteer alongside directly
• The office is also where the marketing and communications team work.
• You will be volunteering alongside a team of events volunteers and staff at the fair.

What skills and attributes might I need for this role, ideally?

Experience, enthusiasm and a willingness to get involved is always useful, and we would welcome hearing in particular about how you are:

• Organised, with the ability to keep track of lots of different moving parts and plan ahead over a number of months.
• Confident and friendly when working with people, as the role involves speaking with staff, volunteers, stallholders and the venue, and being a welcoming point of contact throughout.
• A natural coordinator who is happy leading a team of volunteers, allocating roles and keeping everyone informed and motivated in the lead up to the day.
• Good communication skills, both written and in person, for things like stallholder bookings, volunteer emails and promoting the event.
• Calm and adaptable, especially on the day itself, when things can be busy and the occasional last minute change is all part of it.
• Reliable and proactive, able to take the lead and keep things moving with the support of the staff team.
• A genuine enthusiasm for the work of Bristol A.R.C. and for creating a welcoming community event for local people and their pets.
• An interest in event organising or fundraising.

What can I hope to get out of the experience?

• We will offer you the training and guidance you need in your role. This will include general information, as well as specifics about volunteering as an event coordinator.
• The chance to experience coordination an event
• Ongoing support from the Fundraising team and a designated Volunteer Supervisor, as well as the Volunteer Coordinators
• We hope you will enjoy using your existing skills or gaining new ones, and getting to know the members of our team
• The chance to learn about animal rescue and the ‘behind the scenes’ aspects of an animal welfare organisation
• Occasions to make new friends or connections through your volunteering

When do I need to apply by?

• Accommodation in a shared house

• Transportation to/from work

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.
