About the Role

As Branch Treasurer, you will provide strategic financial oversight and help ensure the Branch remains financially sustainable, well-governed and compliant with charity finance requirements.

• Experience in finance, accounting, financial management or financial governance
• Strong analytical skills and attention to detail
• The confidence to review and challenge financial information appropriately
• The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues
• A collaborative and positive approach
• A passion for animal welfare
• Previous charity finance experience would be beneficial but is not essential.
• A recognised financial qualification (such as ACA, ACCA or CIMA) would be advantageous, though not required.

Time Commitment

• Monthly trustee meetings (typically 2–3 hours)
• Some additional flexible volunteer time between meetings

What You’ll Gain

• The opportunity to make a direct impact on local animal welfare
• Valuable charity governance and leadership experience
• Trustee training and ongoing support from the RSPCA
• The chance to develop new skills and expand your professional network
• A rewarding role working alongside passionate and like-minded volunteers

Practical Information

• You will need to become a Branch member before election as a trustee
• Reasonable expenses are reimbursed
• References and trustee eligibility checks are required

Interested?

This is an opportunity to play a vital role in supporting local animal welfare while helping guide the financial sustainability and governance of a respected and much-loved local charity.

Help build a more sustainable future — and make your expertise count

What if your experience in sustainability, health, safety and environmental management could do more than support an organisation’s compliance?

What if you could help shape how an international organisation operates, build sustainable practices from the ground up, and contribute to programmes designed to improve lives and break the cycle of poverty?

Project Yananai is looking for an experienced and purpose-driven Head of Sustainability to lead this work.

Project Yananai specialises in poverty alleviation programmes through sustainable skills development and compassionate humanitarian aid, working with communities and partners internationally to create lasting, positive change.

This is an opportunity to take genuine ownership of our sustainability agenda and help embed strong health, safety and environmental standards across an evolving international organisation.

The opportunity

As Head of Sustainability, you will provide strategic leadership across health, safety and environmental sustainability, ensuring these principles are embedded into our programmes, operations and organisational culture.

You will have the opportunity to build, influence and shape — developing policies and frameworks, working with teams across different countries and cultures, identifying risks and opportunities, and helping establish the standards that will support Project Yananai as it grows.

This is a role for someone who wants to use their professional expertise for meaningful social impact and who is excited by the opportunity to build something rather than simply maintain what already exists.

What you’ll do

• Lead the Sustainability Strategy
• Develop and implement a practical, forward-looking sustainability strategy aligned with Project Yananai’s mission and international operations, ensuring health, safety and environmental considerations are integrated across our programmes.
• Build strong HSE frameworks
• Develop and establish effective policies, procedures and protocols covering health, safety and environmental management, helping create a consistent approach across our global operations.
• Influence and collaborate globally
• Work closely with international teams, local communities, partners and stakeholders to understand sustainability challenges, identify risks and develop solutions that are practical, culturally appropriate and capable of creating lasting impact.
• Build a culture of sustainability
• Design and deliver engaging training and awareness initiatives for staff and volunteers, helping embed sustainability, health and safety into everyday decision-making and organisational culture.
• Measure impact and drive improvement
• Develop appropriate measures to monitor the effectiveness of sustainability initiatives, using data and insight to identify opportunities for improvement and communicate progress to stakeholders.
• Champion sustainability externally
• Represent Project Yananai on sustainability matters and help develop relationships with relevant governmental, non-governmental and other organisations to strengthen our expertise, partnerships and impact.

What we’re looking for

We’re looking for someone who combines professional expertise with a genuine desire to create positive change.

You will ideally bring:

• 3+ years’ experience in sustainability management, health and safety, environmental management or a related field.
• Experience developing and implementing sustainability, HSE or environmental strategies.
• Strong understanding of relevant policies, standards, risk management and compliance.
• The ability to translate strategy into practical policies, processes and measurable outcomes.
• Strong stakeholder management and communication skills.
• The confidence to work across cultures, countries and different organisational environments.
• A collaborative and pragmatic approach, with the ability to influence without relying solely on formal authority.
• A genuine commitment to social impact, environmental responsibility and community empowerment.
• Experience within the charity, non-profit or international development sector would be advantageous, but it is not essential.

Why join Project Yananai?

• Make your expertise matter
• Use your professional experience to help shape an organisation focused on tackling poverty and creating sustainable opportunities for communities.
• Build something from the ground up
• This is an opportunity to have real ownership and influence. You won’t simply be stepping into an established framework — you’ll help create it.
• Work internationally
• Collaborate with colleagues, communities and stakeholders across different countries and cultural environments.
• Make a lasting contribution
• Help establish the standards, culture and practices that can support Project Yananai’s growth and long-term impact.
• Flexible and purpose-driven
• The role is designed as a flexible voluntary opportunity that can work alongside your existing professional or personal commitments, with remote working and periodic travel.

Could this be your next opportunity to make a difference?

If you’re an experienced sustainability, health, safety or environmental professional who wants to apply your expertise to something with genuine social purpose, we’d love to hear from you.

This is an opportunity to bring your knowledge, challenge conventional thinking and help build sustainable practices that can support meaningful impact for years to come.

Project Yananai is a UK-registered charity (No. 1209060) and an equal opportunity organisation. We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, cultures and experiences.

Chair of the Board — United St Saviour's Charity

For almost 500 years, we've supported Southwark's communities. Now we're looking for a new Chair to help lead our next chapter — including delivering the RIBA Stirling Prize-winning legacy of Appleby Blue into a bold ten-year strategy.

United St Saviour's Charity is a place-based community investor in Southwark, providing almshouses, grant-funding and community programmes that build resilience and connection across the borough. Over the last decade we've nearly doubled our housing provision and delivered Appleby Blue — a social housing development for older people that went on to win the RIBA Stirling Prize, the UK's most prestigious architecture award.

This role is for you if:

• You have board leadership experience, ideally including previous experience chairing a board or significant committee
• You've held senior leadership roles within a medium-to-large charity or purpose-driven organisation, ideally through periods of growth, complexity or strategic change
• You bring strength in one or more of: housing and property development, organisational governance, community development, or finance and accounting
• You have a genuine, lived or learned understanding of Southwark and its communities
• You're as comfortable challenging and questioning as you are supporting — leading with influence rather than authority

What you'll do

As Chair, you'll lead our Board of Trustees and work in close partnership with our Chief Executive, Martyn Craddock, providing support, guidance and constructive challenge to help the organisation deliver its strategic plan. You'll ensure the charity remains well governed, financially sustainable, and focused on delivering lasting impact for the people of Southwark — while acting as an ambassador for our values, purpose and reputation, including in situations that require urgent decision-making.

You'll be joining at a pivotal moment: we're scaling up our housing development pipeline, delivering a new Community Investment Strategy for 2025–2030, and increasingly being asked to share what we've learned with other boroughs and housing providers as our national influence grows.

Location and time commitment

Based in the London Borough of Southwark — Board and committee meetings take place at our offices and almshouses. This is a voluntary role (reasonable expenses met) requiring approximately 2–3 days a month, including four Board meetings a year, a Strategy and Reflection Day, and membership of one to two committees.

How to apply

Send a CV and covering letter to Alison Benzimra, Director of Strategy and Operations by 14 October 2026, setting out why you're interested and how your skills, experience and background fit what we're looking for. Shortlisted candidates will be invited to interview with a panel drawn from the Board in 23 November 2026.

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 how Pinnacle sounds. Every word that goes out under our name — website, emails, WhatsApp, programme materials, funding applications — either comes from you or meets a standard you've set. You make sure we read like one organisation rather than fifteen people with fifteen styles, and that the way we describe our work holds up in front of a funder as well as in front of a 24-year-old deciding whether to come on Friday.

Key tasks

1. Voice and standards
   • Define Pinnacle's tone of voice and make it usable by other people — a short, practical guide, not a brand bible nobody opens.
   • Write or review the copy that carries weight: website pages, campaign emails, WhatsApp broadcasts, programme descriptions, sign-up flows.
   • Keep language consistent across every channel, including the ones you don't publish on yourself.
2. Owned channels
   • Own website, email and WhatsApp as channels we control outright.
   • Keep the mailing list clean, segmented and GDPR compliant.
   • Make sure nobody who contacts Pinnacle goes unanswered.
3. Vision-aligned and funder-ready language
   • Translate what we actually do into language funders, partners and institutions recognise — personal development, sports and wellbeing, community and belonging.
   • Maintain an approved set of core descriptions: boilerplate, programme summaries, impact statements — so bids and partnership decks aren't rewritten from scratch each time.
   • Work with the CFO on funding applications and with Partnerships on how we come across externally.
4. Performance
   • Track open rates, click-throughs, response times and list growth.
   • Report monthly with insight rather than screenshots.

What we're looking for

• A strong writer first, a marketer second.
• Able to write for two audiences at once: young adults who need to feel something, and funders who need to see rigour.
• Comfortable editing other people's work and holding a standard without being precious about it.
• Email marketing experience and a working understanding of GDPR.
• Grant, bid or case-for-support writing experience (desirable).

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.

What does the role involve?

The Dementia Wellbeing Service provides practical and emotional support ​to help older people live independently and safely at home for as long as possible, stay socially engaged and carry on doing what they love. The service supports Camden residents over the age of 55 in the early or moderate stages of dementia.

You will work one-to-one with people in their own home and in the community, providing invaluable practical and emotional support and engaging the person in activities and opportunities that interest them through their wellbeing plan.

What will you get out of it?

• You'll be making a difference to the lives of older people.
• You'll gain knowledge and insight into issues that impact on older people’s lives.
• You'll have an opportunity to build confidence and skills in engaging with people.
• You'll be part of something that is rewarding and enjoyable. 

What is expected of me?

• Volunteers are asked to make regular weekly visits of about to two to three hours on a week day (Monday – Friday), between 9-5pm.
• Interested applicants must complete training in dementia in addition to the other training and induction linked to all our roles. 

We are seeking a Finance Trustee to join our Board of Trustees*.  You will have:

• Strong senior-level knowledge of investment management (equities and fixed income)
• Experience setting investment strategy and overseeing financial risk
• An analytical and questioning mindset, with confidence to provide constructive challenge
• Experience supporting long-term financial sustainability and governance.

You will also have empathy and understanding of disability-related issues, or a strong commitment to learning. Bring integrity, sound judgement and strategic thinking.

Why join us?

This is an opportunity to use your financial expertise to make a meaningful, lasting impact. As a Trustee, you will contribute strategic insight, sound judgement and compassionate leadership to help ensure the Trust continues to meet the changing needs of its beneficiaries.

About Us

The Thalidomide Trust is a unique organisation supporting beneficiaries, now all in their 60s, born with disabilities as a result of their mother taking the drug, thalidomide, during pregnancy.

Interested?

If you have the skills, experience, and motivation to help shape the future of the Trust, we would love to hear from you.

More information:

• No contact from agencies or media sales.
• We particularly welcome applications from the BAME community and people living with disabilities.

Application deadline: Wednesday 30 September 2026 at 9am

Date for Interview: Tuesday 20 October 2026 (Central London)

* Following a restructuring exercise in January 2018, your formal title will be a Director of the Thalidomide Trust Company. However, you will operate as a charitable Trustee and will be governed by the Charity Commission.

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

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

Time commitment 

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

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

• 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.

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

You also have the opportunity to enhance AHO's brand reputation by submitting well-organised, accurate, and compliant bids.  By doing so, you'll showcase our professionalism and reliability to clients, building trust and solidifying our credible standing in the market.

About RideWise

RideWise is a Nottingham-based charity that helps people lead healthier, happier and more sustainable lives through walking, cycling and active travel.

We work with communities across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire, supporting thousands of people each year. Our work includes cycle training, walking programmes, community engagement, accessible cycling, bike recycling and practical support to help people travel more actively.

• Oversee the charity’s finances, governance and management of risk
• Bring knowledge and insight from your area of expertise
• Act as an ambassador for RideWise and the communities we support

All Trustees share responsibility for the overall governance of the charity. You do not need previous trustee experience, provided you are willing to learn and can bring relevant skills, sound judgement and a commitment to our work.

• Share our commitment to healthier, more active and sustainable communities
• Can think strategically while understanding the realities of running a charity
• Are willing to contribute their experience and ask constructive questions
• Can work collaboratively with fellow Trustees and staff
• Can attend a minimum of four virtual Board meetings each year

This is an opportunity to use your experience to make a practical difference to a well-established local charity. You will help shape our future, support our staff team and contribute to work that improves health, wellbeing and access to sustainable travel.
