Recent grant support has enabled a number of significant multi-year projects, including:
• British Dyslexia Association - supporting the creation of Local Outreach Hubs to increase access to dyslexia advice, assessment and early intervention within communities.
• Candlelighters - funding a Family Wellbeing Practitioner to improve emotional and practical support for families affected by childhood cancer.

VOLUNTEER ROLE: HEAD OF SERVICES
Lead the Frontline of a Movement Changing Men’s Lives
MINDSET isn’t just a charity. It’s a cultural shift. A brotherhood. A mission to redefine what strength looks like for men across the country.
We speak to men in a way that feels real — through action, honesty, challenge, and connection. No jargon. No judgment. No shame. Just real conversations, real growth, and real change.
Now we’re looking for a Head of Services who can take the heart of our mission — our workshops, programmes, events, and peer‑led spaces — and turn them into a national force for good.
If you’re someone who believes in bold ideas, who cares deeply about impact, and who wants to build services that genuinely change lives, this role is calling your name.
Why This Role Matters
Every workshop. Every programme. Every Talk Zone. Every peer‑led group. Every moment where a man feels safe enough to open up, grow, and take a step forward…
It all starts with the services we deliver.
Your leadership will shape:
The quality and consistency of every MINDSET experience
The safety, structure, and impact of our frontline work
The innovation behind new programmes and action‑based wellbeing models
The training and support of facilitators, volunteers, and group leaders
The national expansion of our movement
This isn’t operations. This is transformation.
You’ll be building the spaces where men change their lives.
What You’ll Lead
As our Head of Services, you will:
Oversee all MINDSET services: workshops, events, programmes, peer support groups, and Talk Zones
Develop new action‑based wellbeing models that speak men’s language
Ensure every service is safe, inclusive, and aligned with our culture code
Build frameworks, systems, and processes that support national growth
Train and support facilitators, group leaders, and volunteers
Monitor impact, feedback, and outcomes to drive continuous improvement
Work closely with the CEO and leadership team to shape long‑term strategy
Champion our values — honesty, courage, growth, brotherhood, inclusion, action — in every service we deliver
You’ll be the architect of the MINDSET experience.
Who We’re Looking For
A passion for men’s wellbeing and preventative mental health
Strong organisational and leadership skills
Experience in service delivery, programme design, or community work
A belief in action‑based, stigma‑free approaches
Emotional intelligence and a people‑first mindset
The courage to build something new, bold, and needed
A commitment to inclusion, safety, and impact
If you’ve ever thought, “Men deserve better support — and I want to help build it,” then you already understand the heart of this role.
What You’ll Be Part Of
MINDSET is building:
Peer‑led support groups across the country
Action‑based wellbeing programmes
Workshops that build resilience, confidence, and emotional strength
Talk Zones in barbershops, gyms, and workplaces
A digital platform for mental fitness and personal growth
A national movement that redefines strength, vulnerability, and brotherhood
This isn’t a moment. It’s a movement.
What You’ll Gain
