230 Outreach volunteer roles

Global Health Access Trust is looking for a Volunteer Campaign & Public Mobilisation Lead to help plan measured public campaigns that build understanding and support for fairer access to healthcare.

This is a leadership opportunity for someone with experience in campaigning, advocacy, public affairs or public engagement who can turn important issues into clear, responsible activity without hype or exaggeration.

Global Health Access Trust (GHAT) develops, funds and coordinates defined projects that advance health, relieve illness and preserve life for the public benefit. Our work brings together professional expertise, local knowledge, responsible technology, infrastructure, trusted relationships and accountable funding.

What you could contribute

• Plan campaign objectives, audiences and messages
• Coordinate campaign volunteers and ambassadors
• Help develop clear, accurate public-facing campaign material
• Support appropriate outreach and mobilisation activity
• Help ensure campaigns reflect GHAT’s values, evidence and public-benefit purpose
• Evaluate what worked and report honestly on outcomes

Who this could suit

This opportunity may suit people with experience in campaigning, advocacy, public affairs, public engagement or communications.

We are particularly interested in strategic, calm organisers who can build public understanding without overstating impact or using unnecessarily emotive approaches.

You should be comfortable coordinating people, developing messages for different audiences and working within agreed governance and reputational standards.

The role can usually be undertaken remotely from any country and the commitment is ongoing and flexible.

The role is voluntary and unpaid. There is no salary, fee, employment benefit or entitlement to expenses.

How to apply

Applications are handled through the Global Health Access Trust website. When you click to apply, you will be taken to GHAT’s Influence, Ambassadors & Campaigns section. There you can review this opportunity in context, explore the current opportunities within this area and select the opportunity that best matches your experience before submitting the GHAT application form.

Volunteer Ambassador

We are looking for conscientious and proactive Volunteer Ambassadors to help raise the profile of ECI and support fundraising within the community.

Despite being one of Exeter’s oldest charities, many people are still unaware of the work we do. As an Ambassador, you will help share our impact, connect with the community, and support fundraising activity so more people can benefit from our services.

By joining our fundraising and engagement team, you will play an important role in helping ECI continue its work across Exeter and beyond.

What you’ll be doing

• Attend occasional group meetings and community events
• Represent ECI at local events, stands and awareness activities
• Help promote and support fundraising activities and initiatives
• Share information about ECI services, impact and opportunities to get involved
• Support bucket collections, awareness stands and community outreach
• Help identify locations for posters, collection tins and promotional materials
• Encourage community members to get involved in fundraising or volunteering
• Research local opportunities to support ECI’s work
• Follow ECI policies, procedures and safeguarding guidance

Commitment

• Flexible, ad-hoc volunteering based on your availability
• Attendance at occasional meetings and events
• No requirement to attend everything — we work around your schedule
• Communication may take place via WhatsApp, email or Facebook group

Skills and experience

We’re looking for volunteers who are:

• Friendly, confident and approachable
• Good communicators with a positive and empathetic manner
• Reliable, honest and able to work as part of a team
• Comfortable working independently when needed
• Willing to collaborate and make group decisions
• Passionate about community, wellbeing and supporting others

A driving licence or access to a car may be useful for some activities but is not essential.

What you’ll get

Volunteering with ECI is a rewarding way to give back, build confidence and connect with your community.

• Full training and ongoing support from ECI staff
• Opportunity to represent a well-established local charity
• Experience in community engagement and fundraising
• Meet new people and be part of a supportive team
• ECI T-shirt and ID badge
• Agreed expenses (if applicable)
• A sense of achievement from supporting local people and families
• Improved confidence, skills and wellbeing through volunteering

Global Health Access Trust is looking for experienced professionals who can help open the right doors, make thoughtful introductions and advise on how best to approach important institutions, sectors and networks.

A single well-judged introduction can be as valuable to GHAT as months of cold outreach. This opportunity is designed for people who can contribute strategically and selectively rather than commit to a regular weekly volunteering schedule.

Global Health Access Trust (GHAT) develops, funds and coordinates defined projects that advance health, relieve illness and preserve life for the public benefit. Our work brings together professional and clinical expertise, human capability, responsible technology, essential infrastructure, trusted local relationships and accountable funding.

What you could contribute

• Make considered introductions to people and institutions who should know about GHAT’s work
• Advise on how best to approach a sector, market or institution
• Lend judgement on positioning, credibility and timing
• Help identify appropriate routes into professional, philanthropic, institutional, corporate, governmental, academic or community networks
• Share relevant insight that can help GHAT build strong and credible relationships

Who this could suit

This opportunity may suit senior professionals with established professional, philanthropic, institutional, corporate, governmental, sporting, academic or community networks.

It is particularly suitable for people who prefer occasional high-value input to a regular weekly role.

The commitment is deliberately flexible and advisory. You may, for example, tell us: “I can make introductions but do not want a regular weekly role.”

The opportunity can usually be undertaken remotely from any country.

The role is voluntary and unpaid. There is no salary, fee, employment benefit or entitlement to expenses.

About The Role

The hides on our reserve present an opportunity to engage visitors with our wetlands, helping them to learn more about the WWT’s important conservation work and about the amazing biodiversity and abundance of species at our Caerlaverock site. Through sharing your enthusiasm and expertise, you will make connections, inspire visitors, and help people of all birdwatching abilities to enjoy the wildlife on our reserve. Helping someone identify a bird species that they haven’t seen before or are struggling to identify can really kickstart their connection with nature and create a lasting positive experience.

Our Guide in the Hide Volunteers provide a warm and friendly welcome to the hide, point out species of interest and assist with identification, educate about WWT’s conservation work, and make sure our visitors have a positive experience looking at wildlife. You will also help to record any wildlife sightings whilst out on the reserve. This is a great opportunity to meet a variety of people, learn about wildlife conservation and become a part of a friendly and supportive team. 

Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team, and we wouldn’t be able to maintain our internationally important wetland sites without their help. You will receive a very warm welcome, full induction & training, and be provided with any necessary equipment, uniforms, and anything else needed to thrive in your role.

Main Tasks

• Giving a warm welcome to all visitors coming into the hides
• Talking to visitors about what they can see from the hide windows
• Recording sightings data into a logbook
• Helping with wildlife species identification
• Assisting visitors to use the optical equipment and identification guidebooks
• Informing visitors of which events, talks, and activities at the site may be of interest
• Updating the sightings board and letting the welcome desk know about any exciting sightings
• Maintaining the hides – tidying chairs, cleaning surfaces, sweeping, collecting litter, organising learning materials & equipment

About You 

No previous experience is required for this role as full training will be provided, and a willingness to learn new skills is more important. However, this role would suit you if:

• You feel confident in talking to and engaging with members of the public, and can adapt your communication style to suit your audience
• You love birding and want to share your enthusiasm with others
• You have a strong basic knowledge of UK bird species - additional training & support for species identification can be provided
• You are friendly and approachable with a positive attitude
• You have an interest in and enthusiasm for the work of WWT
• You enjoy working as part of a team of staff and volunteers
• You are physically fit to patrol the reserve in all weather

Help lead a vital local service supporting people across Wythenshawe when they need it most. We’re looking for a compassionate, organised and practical Foodbank Manager who can keep our day-to-day operations running smoothly while helping us build for the future.

Wythenshawe Foodbank is an independent charity and part of the Trussell network. Through our central hub and community distribution centres, we provide emergency food and support to local people facing financial hardship and crisis.

This is a varied, hands-on role at the heart of the organisation. Reporting to the Board of Trustees, you’ll coordinate activity across our foodbank sites, support our dedicated volunteers and work closely with our Warehouse Manager, referral agencies, donors and community partners.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Helping the foodbank meet Trussell’s operating standards and legal requirements

We’re looking for someone who combines compassion with strong organisational skills.

You’ll be calm under pressure, confident working independently and willing to get involved wherever needed.

Experience in charity operations, volunteer coordination, community services or a similar people-focused environment would be valuable. Most importantly, you’ll understand the realities facing people in crisis and share our commitment to providing support without judgement.

This is an opportunity to take on a meaningful role where your work will have a direct impact on the local community. You’ll join a committed team of trustees, staff and volunteers who care deeply about Wythenshawe and the people we support.
