We would love to hear from you.

The Netherton Feelgood Factory exists to support local people. We provide activities, services, and a welcoming space for residents of all ages and backgrounds — but none of that happens without a secure financial foundation. As a small charity, we can't rely on grants and donations alone. Sustainable income from venue hire gives us something equally precious: independence. The freedom to plan ahead, to protect the services people rely on, and to say yes to new ideas. As our Venue Hire & Income Generation Volunteer, you won't just be filling a diary. You'll be helping to future-proof a community asset.

Our organisation provides advice and services to all members of our local community from birth to old age.  We help over 5000 people each year with a variety of health-related or social needs.  Our centre is used as a base for counselling, food distribution, health programmes, children’s activities and social groups.  As funding sources have diminished the demand for our services has increased.  We are actively pursuing other ways to generate income.

We're looking for a volunteer with business, sales, or marketing experience to help us make the most of our fantastic building by hiring it out to local businesses, training providers, clubs, and organisations. Whether you've worked in sales, events, marketing, property, or business development — or simply have a talent for spotting an opportunity and making things happen — we'd love to hear from you.

You'll play a key role in identifying potential hirers, promoting our spaces, and helping us price and package our facilities competitively — all while ensuring the centre's core charitable activities remain protected.

• Identify and approach potential hirers, including local businesses, training providers, clubs, and community organisations
• Develop and maintain a marketing plan to promote the building for hire (e.g. flyers, social media, local business networks, online listings)
• Review and help set competitive, sustainable hire rates for different rooms/spaces and time slots
• Create or improve hire packages (e.g. half-day/full-day rates, regular booking discounts, room set-up options)
• Help develop simple hire agreements, terms and conditions, and invoicing processes (with support from staff/trustees)
• Build relationships with regular or repeat hirers to encourage long-term bookings
• Identify opportunities for new income streams connected to venue hire (e.g. catering add-ons, equipment hire)
• Report progress and income performance to the management team/trustees on a regular basis.

This is a genuinely rewarding role. You'll use your real-world skills to help generate vital income that goes straight back into funding the services our community depends on. You'll have the freedom to be creative — developing hire packages, building relationships with local businesses, and finding new ways to fill our spaces and boost our income.

You won't be doing it alone. Our friendly staff and trustee team will support you every step of the way, and you'll have the flexibility to volunteer in a way that suits your schedule.

If you're approaching retirement and looking for a way to keep your business skills sharp and stay connected, or if you're simply someone who wants to make a difference close to home, this could be the perfect fit.

Volunteer Opportunity – Treasurer Trustee
Independent Arts Isle of Wight

Do you have financial skills and experience that could help strengthen creativity, wellbeing, and
community connections across the Isle of Wight?

Independent Arts is seeking a Treasurer Trustee to join our Board and help support the charity’s
continued growth and sustainability.

Independent Arts works with people of all ages and backgrounds, using creativity and
participation in the arts to improve wellbeing, reduce isolation, build confidence, and
strengthen communities. We believe that creativity can have a positive impact on people’s lives,
and we are looking for someone who shares our values and wants to make a meaningful
contribution.

As Treasurer Trustee, you will play an important role in helping the Board oversee the charity’s financial affairs, ensuring strong financial governance and supporting informed decision-making. You will work alongside fellow trustees and staff to help ensure the organisation remains financially sustainable and able to continue delivering its valuable work across the Isle of Wight.

We are looking for someone who can offer:
• Experience in finance, accounting, budgeting, business planning, or financial
management
• The ability to understand and explain financial information clearly
• Strategic thinking and sound judgement
• A collaborative approach and willingness to contribute to Board discussions
• Commitment to good governance and the aims of Independent Arts
Previous charity trustee experience or a professional accounting qualification would be
welcome but is not essential. We encourage applications from people with relevant skills and
practical experience from a range of professional and personal backgrounds.

What you’ll gain from the role:
• The opportunity to make a meaningful impact within the local community
• Experience of charity leadership and governance
• The chance to use your professional skills for social good
• The opportunity to work alongside a passionate and committed Board and team
• A chance to support creativity, wellbeing, and inclusive community development across
the Isle of Wight

Time commitment
This is a voluntary role. The Treasurer Trustee will be expected to attend quarterly Board and
finance committee meetings and review papers in advance, with additional time required to
support the CEO in financial planning, Board and annual reporting activities.
Independent Arts is committed to equality, diversity, and inclusion and welcomes applications
from people of all backgrounds, experiences, and communities.
 

As the Guild has grown in the past few years, our risk management, financial controls, and body of policies and procedures have also matured. Following the scheduled departure of two trustees earlier this year, the Guild’s Finance Subcommittee is seeking to welcome an independent member with relevant skills to attend meetings and advise on financial matters to help us make good decisions effectively.

This voluntary role supports trustees and staff by providing independent insight, constructive scrutiny, and professional expertise on financial planning, budgeting, risk, and long-term sustainability. As a guest to Finance Subcommittee meetings, you will review financial information, contribute to discussions, and help ensure resources are used effectively to maximise our charitable impact for students.

The Finance Subcommittee currently consists of two elected Officers, two external Trustees, and may include a student trustee in future. Papers and reports are ordinarily provided by the Guild Director, who is a non-voting guest to Subcommittee meetings. The Subcommittee normally meets four times per year for around two hours.

Students’ Union experience is not essential, but we are seeking a volunteer able to operate within our distinctive context. We are particularly interested in applicants with experience in finance, accounting, audit, charity governance, or business management.

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND BUILD A SAFE, COMPLIANT, TRUSTED CHARITY FOR MEN & BOYS IN LONDON

We’re ideally seeking volunteers based in London, but we welcome passionate people from across England who can join virtually and help shape the future of a charity with huge potential.

We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health, stronger resilience and long‑term personal growth.

We’re building a stigma‑free movement — a space where men and boys can learn real, practical, non‑clinical skills that help them build better habits, better mindsets and better lives. From 1:1 Life Coaching, to 6‑ and 12‑week self‑improvement programmes, to school workshops for teenage boys, we’re creating something powerful.

And right now, we’re getting ready to launch — and we need a Compliance Officer who can help ensure MINDSET meets all its legal, regulatory and governance requirements as a small start‑up charity.

This role can be either a Trustee or Non‑Trustee position depending on your experience and preference.

YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE

Joining MINDSET at this early stage means you’re not just “doing compliance” — you’re helping build the safe, responsible, legally sound foundation that allows us to operate with confidence and integrity.

Your leadership will directly influence:

• how safe, compliant and well‑governed our charity becomes;

• how smoothly we register and operate as a London charity;

• how strong our policies, procedures and systems are;

• how trusted we become by partners, funders and the community;

• how confidently we can grow, scale and deliver our programmes.

This is your chance to help build a charity from the ground up — shaping its compliance culture, its governance structure and its future.

THE ROLE: COMPLIANCE OFFICER (VOLUNTEER)

1. A detail‑focused guardian.
2. A steady advisor.
3. A champion for safe, responsible charity practice.

As our Compliance Officer, you’ll help build, oversee and maintain the systems that ensure MINDSET meets all its legal and regulatory obligations.

You’ll support the Founder, Leadership Team and Board (if you choose the Trustee route) with clarity, structure and compliance expertise — helping us operate safely, professionally and confidently.

This role is perfect for someone who is organised, responsible, structured and passionate about good governance and safe practice.

WHAT YOU’LL HELP US BUILD

1. Charity Compliance & Governance

• Ensuring we meet Charity Commission requirements.

• Supporting charity registration and ongoing obligations.

• Helping maintain strong governance and responsible decision‑making.

• Keeping compliance at the heart of our operations.

2. Policies, Procedures & Documentation

• Reviewing, updating and organising key policies.

• Ensuring safeguarding, data protection and health & safety compliance.

• Helping build clear, accessible documentation systems.

• Supporting best‑practice standards across the charity.

3. Risk Management & Accountability

• Helping identify and manage organisational risks.

• Supporting safe programme delivery across all activities.

• Ensuring volunteers understand compliance expectations.

• Strengthening accountability and transparency.

4. Operational Compliance Support

• Helping ensure our digital systems meet data protection standards.

• Supporting safe record‑keeping and information management.

• Ensuring compliance across programmes, volunteers and partnerships.

• Helping build systems future teams can rely on.

5. Trustee or Non‑Trustee Pathway

• Trustee Route: Provide compliance oversight at Board level.

• Non‑Trustee Route: Support compliance operationally without governance responsibilities.

• Choose the pathway that best suits your experience and comfort.

WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE

We’re especially interested in people who:

• have experience in compliance, governance, regulation or quality assurance;

• are calm, structured and confident with detail;

• bring clarity, responsibility and strong judgement;

• care deeply about men’s mental health, wellbeing and personal growth;

• want to help build a charity from scratch;

• believe compliance is the foundation of safe, impactful work.

If you’re someone who loves strengthening systems, protecting organisations and building safe foundations — this is your moment.

• Strong written communication and storytelling skills
• The confidence to introduce new ideas and advise a small charity on its marketing priorities

Experience in the charity, education, youth or sports sectors would be useful, but it is not required. Experience supporting a growing organisation, working with volunteers or developing a brand would also be valuable.

You should be creative, reliable and comfortable working within a small team. We are looking for someone who will listen to different perspectives but can also make clear recommendations and lead the marketing approach.

You do not need to produce every piece of content yourself. Other volunteers and team members can support delivery. However, you should be able to set the direction, establish suitable processes and provide constructive guidance.

An interest in helping young people develop their skills and future opportunities through sport and education would be a strong fit with our work.

What difference will you make?

Strong marketing will help SPORT 4 SUCCESS reach more young people, schools, delivery partners, funders and volunteers.

At present, much of our impact happens through our programmes, events and direct relationships, but we do not communicate that impact consistently. This limits our ability to build awareness, attract support and show the value of our work.

Your work would help us create a clearer identity, communicate our purpose more effectively and build a consistent presence across our social media and wider marketing channels.

A stronger strategy would help us:

• Reach more schools and youth organisations
• Attract volunteers with the skills needed to grow the charity
• Build relationships with sports organisations and corporate partners
• Support fundraising and sponsorship activity
• Promote programmes and events
• Share evidence of our impact
• Give young people and schools a stronger voice in our communications

The role will also help us move away from ad hoc marketing and towards a structured approach that the wider team can follow.

As a small charity, this role would have direct influence. The volunteer’s ideas and recommendations would shape how SPORT 4 SUCCESS presents itself, communicates its work and grows over the next stage of its development.

The result will be a stronger platform for helping more young people build skills, confidence and future opportunities through sport and education.

Before you apply

Shortlisted applicants will be invited to an informal online conversation with members of our trustee team. This will be an opportunity to discuss your experience, learn more about the charity and explore how you would approach the role.

Applications will be reviewed as they are received, and we may arrange conversations before the closing date. We aim to respond to shortlisted applicants within two weeks of receiving their application.

HELP US LAUNCH MINDSET — AND CHANGE MEN & BOYS’ LIVES IN LONDON

We’re ideally seeking Trustees based in London, but we welcome passionate volunteers from across England who can join meetings virtually and help steer the future of a charity with huge potential.

We’re MINDSET Charity, a bold new start‑up in London on a mission to equip and empower men and boys with the tools they need for better mental health, stronger resilience and long‑term personal growth.

We’re building a stigma‑free movement — a space where men and boys can learn real, practical, non‑clinical skills that help them build better habits, better mindsets and better lives. From 1:1 Life Coaching, to 6‑ and 12‑week self‑improvement programmes, to school workshops for teenage boys, we’re creating something powerful.

And right now, we’re getting ready to launch — and we need Trustees who can help shape our direction, strengthen our governance and guide us as we build a charity that will transform lives across London.

YOUR IMPACT WILL BE HUGE

Joining MINDSET as a Trustee at this early stage means you’re not stepping into a traditional board role — you’re becoming part of the founding leadership of a charity with ambition, energy and purpose.

Your decisions will directly influence:

• how quickly we can register as a charity;

• how strong and safe our governance becomes;

• how effective and impactful our programmes are;

• how we grow, scale and innovate;

• how we support men and boys across London for years to come.

This is your chance to help build a charity from the ground up — shaping its culture, its strategy and its future.

THE ROLE: TRUSTEE (VOLUNTEER)

1. A strategic leader.
2. A guardian of good governance.
3. A champion for men and boys’ wellbeing.

As a Trustee, you’ll help guide MINDSET’s vision, ensure we operate safely and responsibly, and support our start‑up charity as it builds momentum towards launch.

You’ll work closely with the Founder and Leadership Team, offering insight, oversight and support as we develop programmes, strengthen operations and build our organisational infrastructure.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to use their experience, judgement and passion to help shape a charity with real purpose.

WHAT YOU’LL HELP US BUILD

1. Governance & Strategy

• Helping shape our early strategy and direction.

• Ensuring strong governance and responsible decision‑making.

• Supporting charity registration and compliance.

• Helping us build a safe, ethical and effective organisation.

2. Oversight & Accountability

• Reviewing policies, procedures and safeguarding measures.

• Ensuring we meet legal and regulatory requirements.

• Supporting risk management and organisational stability.

• Helping us build systems that future teams can rely on.

3. Start‑Up Leadership

• Bringing insight, ideas and energy to a fast‑moving charity.

• Supporting the Founder and Leadership Team.

• Helping us build momentum towards launch.

• Championing our mission to improve men and boys’ mental health.

WE’RE NOT JUST LOOKING FOR ANYONE

We’re especially interested in people who:

• want to help build a new charity from scratch;

• bring strategic thinking, clarity and good judgement;

• understand governance, safeguarding or charity operations (or are keen to learn);

• can offer calm, steady leadership in a start‑up environment;

• care deeply about men’s mental health, wellbeing and personal growth;

• want to be part of a movement that will change lives.

If you’re someone who loves shaping vision, strengthening governance and building strong foundations — this is your moment.
