To deliver this ambition, we are refreshing our Trustee Board and seeking a Fundraising & Partnerships Trustee to help unlock new income streams and scale our impact.

1. Influencing national policy through engagement with MPs and Civil Servants
2. Developing collaborative partnerships with government, industry and academia
3. Improving industry connectivity by breaking down sector silos

Operating Model: We are a lean, agile, unincorporated charitable association, supported by a Head of Membership & Operations (contractor) and an engaged volunteer community.

The Role: Trustee for Fundraising & Partnerships

We have the strategy and commercial vision. We now need the funding to scale it. You will work alongside our Commercial Lead to develop and deliver a sustainable income model, with a particular focus on grants, trusts, foundations, and sponsorship – areas currently under-developed within the charity.

We are committed to broadening the diversity of our Board and strongly encourage applications from people of different backgrounds, ages, professions, and communities.

Educational partnerships and community developers wanted to help East London Waterworks Park deliver its environmental learning goals

East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

We are looking for a volunteer to lead partnership development and community outreach efforts for East London Waterworks Park. This role focuses on building and nurturing relationships with learning bodies to increase the opportunity for partnership opportunities. 

The role would include:

• Researching and identifying new opportunities for environmental learning initiatives
• Building and nurturing relationships with schools, education bodies, and nonprofit organizations
• Supporting outreach efforts to promote ELWP’s existing learning programmes

Schools, universities and youth groups we've collaborated with include:

• Waltham Forest College 
• Henry Maynard Primary School, Walthamstow
• Buxton School, Leytonstone
• Kingsmead Primary School, Hackney
• Daubeney Primary School, Hackney
• UCL 
• Royal College of Art
• University of Westminster 
• Project Zero
• Voyage Youth 
• Loyola University Chicago 
• Vanderbilt University Nashville 

We're looking for people to lead on these projects and facilitate the direction of the learning working group.

The Learning Circle currently meets monthly on a Wednesday evening at 8pm for an hour on Google Meet and spends voluntary time outside of the meeting completing agreed tasks remotely.

We welcome individuals with experience in outreach, partnership building, education, or nonprofit engagement. Strong communication and relationship-building skills are key. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role.

Your support will help young people and learners improve their environmental knowledge of design and research as well as contributing to our community-owned park. This will in turn provide a sense of stewardship over the land once the park is created and student's ideas have been built into the park. Creating learning projects with educational institutions will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park. 

You will have a significant impact on the creation of a new biodiverse community-owned park with free access natural swimming ponds. By volunteering in this role, you will help shape the future of East London Waterworks Park as a community-led environmental learning space. This will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park. If you’re interested in joining us, we’d love to hear from you!

We ensure that our partnership and all we do is open to everyone and that we actively address any barriers to participation by any group.

Our case for the WCP catchment depends upon having the broadest and most diverse and inclusive public support possible, because the catchment will benefit from the engagement and attention of people from all backgrounds.

We value everyone who volunteers their support for the WCP. This means listening to and understanding people’s views, creating an environment where everyone is treated with respect and able to contribute fully.

The new Chair will also support WBD's income generation activities, through attending events and philanthropy meetings and supporting corporate partnership opportunities, promoting WBD through their networks and championing donations.

This is a rare opportunity to help more children, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, develop a lifelong habit of reading for fun and access the improved life chances this brings them.

· A commitment to World Book Day's vision and values

Knowledge and experience:

· of senior strategic leadership (e.g. as a Chair or Committee Chair, trustee, non-executive director or senior executive)

· of charity governance and financial oversight

· of supporting, line managing and evaluating the performance of a senior leader

· to support our plans to increase and diversify WBD's income

· to work effectively with WBD's varied stakeholder landscape

The ability to:

· lead by example

· communicate skilfully and effectively

· be an influential, inspirational and supportive leader who builds confidence and consensus

· develop partnerships and strategic alliances

Are you ready to build a legacy that saves lives?

In England today, too many men are fighting silent battles. They are navigating the complexities of mental health and personal growth without a compass or a tribe. At MINDSET, we are changing that narrative. We believe that through brotherhood, community, and intentional self-improvement, every man can reclaim his strength and purpose.

We have the vision. We have the board. Now, we need the Growth Architect.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Business Development Manager (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Business Development Manager, you won’t just be "finding leads"—you will be the engine of our expansion. You will identify opportunities for growth, forge strategic partnerships, and secure the relationships that will put MINDSET on the map across every city in England. You are the one who turns our mission into a sustainable, national movement.

Who You Are

We aren't looking for a CV; we’re looking for a character. We need a strategist who is:

• A Natural Entrepreneur: You thrive in a "start-up" environment. You see a new charity and immediately start mapping out how to scale its impact.

• A Master Connector: You have the people skills to walk into any room—be it a corporate boardroom or a community hub—and inspire people to get behind our cause.

• A Person of Action: You are results-oriented. You have the passion and dedication to take our key milestones and turn them into tangible, long-term growth.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental health and believe that personal growth is the most valuable investment a man can make.

The Volunteer Role

Working directly with the Founder and CEO, you will lead the charge in "opening doors." You’ll develop our growth strategy, seek out corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships, and identify new avenues to bring our brotherhood to the men who need it most. You are the bridge between where MINDSET is today and where it will be tomorrow.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will have a seat at the table, helping to steer the direction of a charity with national ambitions. You’ll gain high-level experience in nonprofit scaling and strategic networking, but more importantly, every partnership you secure will provide a lifeline for a father, a brother, or a son.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build the partnerships that make that foundation unbreakable."

If you have the business acumen to lead and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health by building the future of MINDSET.
