Stammering has historically been the target for humour and used to suggest inadequacy, leaving many who stammer facing daily ignorance, discrimination and disrespect. This can affect job prospects and mental health, and cause depression and social isolation. It can make booking a GP appointment a nightmare, and prevent people from accessing a service altogether, leaving them feeling humiliated, degraded or disbelieved. We’re here to change that.
We’ve a clear strategy for the next five years to achieve real and practical change for people who stammer by highlighting the inadvertent barriers they face within the workplace and as service users. We want to reach more people who stammer and grow our supporter base, but to do that we need to expand our training and advocacy services, whilst underpinning our helpline and family support.
We want to appoint a new Trustee with significant skills and experience within the charity sector to the Board. You’ll need to share our excitement and ambition for change. It isn’t essential that you stammer. This is an unpaid position, but travel expenses can be covered.

- Previous experience as a trustee or board member. Ideally having chaired a sub committee, board or similar.
- The ability to offer occasional support to the staff team during the working day (roughly two hour per month), providing guidance, insight or a sounding board when helpful
- Lived experience of stammering — whether personally or through close connection — so that the voices of people who stammer are at the heart of our work
Person Specification
- Values-led, with demonstrable passion and commitment to STAMMA and its strategic objectives.
- Proven track record as a senior leader with strategic experience within the charitable sector.
- An understanding and acceptance of the legal duties, responsibilities and liabilities of trusteeship with an ability to balance the boundaries between different leadership roles.
- Strong interpersonal skills (listening, tact and diplomacy) and relationship-building abilities.
- Ability to challenge constructively and ask questions appropriately.
- Team player, who respects and values the views of others and is able to speak their mind with tact and diplomacy.
- A commitment to EDI values and principles, including an understanding of equality, diversity and inclusion.

To increase inclusion and representation across society for disabled families.
Registered in 1999, Daybreak is a charity whose foundations are in growing the practice of Family Group Conferences in the UK. From this, we have seen the positive impact that occurs when families and communities are empowered to take action when faced with challenging situations.
People and communities often feel disempowered - especially those whose lives are influenced by the systems around them. However, we know that people can take action to support each other and choose what action to take when given the right opportunity to have their voice heard.
This is why we believe in a world where families, people’s wider social networks, and communities work together to make decisions and proactively solve the problems affecting their lives.
Now, utilising a range of family led decision making approaches and working alongside partner organisations and within the community, we bring people together to create opportunities for them to communicate, work together, and choose what actions to take, in order to move forward, be safe, and thrive.
Throughout our various programs, our work centres around the principles of voluntary participation, transparency and openness for all, advocacy for those who need it, and for our contribution to be facilitative not prescriptive.
Who we’re looking for
We are looking to welcome two new members to our Board of Trustees.
To serve as one of Daybreak’s trustees is to play a fundamental role in enabling our charity to pursue its vision, mission, and values. Your contribution to discussions and decision-making at the highest level of our organisation will ensure that we can continue to provide our services to those in need of our support.
The role is more focused on strategy than detail. You will offer crucial guidance and support to management in developing a growth strategy that will allow Daybreak to reach more people and touch more lives.
There is no requirement for you to have experience as a Trustee. All we need is a willingness to use your skills and expertise to support Daybreak, a desire to make a difference for our service users, and a commitment to active participation in the role.
We would especially welcome applications from those with experience in Data, Digital and either Children or Adult Social Services.
The time commitment involved is around thirty hours per year, though a wide range of opportunities to get involved in the Board’s work will be provided. Board meetings are usually held quarterly in Hampshire or online.
What we offer
As a trustee you will be given:
-
Induction and ongoing support.
-
Board-level experience in a friendly environment, with the opportunity to exercise your existing skills and develop new ones. Our Board contains a diverse range of individuals from various backgrounds, including business and family services, and you will be able to tap into and learn from the breadth of knowledge that they possess.
-
Scope to drive a growth strategy designed to expand our services and allow us to give more families and communities the chance to take control of their circumstances. Your experience and insight will be vital in enabling us to channel the power of families and communities coming together to strengthen the bonds between them.
-
A comprehensive insight into the charitable sector, the challenges it faces, and how these challenges can be overcome.
-
The opportunity to make a real difference to the lives of children, young people, and their families. Your strategic input will help spur positive change and empower families and communities to overcome their unique challenges, and you will see the beneficial impact of your decision-making play out across our services.
-
The knowledge that your contribution has helped secure the best possible results for service users and navigate the challenges our charity faces. By helping us, you will help families to find more workable solutions to their problems, while avoiding plans being imposed upon them.

Be the heart that connects people to purpose.
At Bright Connections, we believe in a simple but powerful truth: no one should feel alone.
We are a brand new and small, volunteer-run and community-led charitable project based in East London, on a mission to break social isolation for people living with disabilities. Through joyful activities, shared experiences, and a community built on belonging, we create spaces where friendships can grow, confidence can flourish, and every person feels seen, valued, and connected.
Our journey began with one family’s love for a sister whose world had become small and quiet. From that love grew a movement, one that believes friendship is a human right, and that connection can transform lives.
To help us in our set up stage, we’re looking for a volunteer who can take up the Volunteer Coordinator role to help us grow and support the incredible community of people who make this work possible.

You’ll play a vital role in welcoming, supporting, and coordinating our volunteers, helping ensure everyone feels valued, confident, and connected in their role.
This could include:
-
Recruiting and onboarding new volunteers.
-
Keeping in touch with volunteers and supporting their journey.
-
Coordinating rotas and helping match people to roles.
-
Creating a positive, inclusive, and supportive volunteer experience.
Why this matters
- Volunteers are the heart of Bright Connections.
- Your support will help them thrive, and in turn, help others feel less alone.
- Every connection you help create has the power to change someone’s life.
Who you are
-
Friendly, organised, and a great communicator.
-
Passionate about people, community, and inclusion.
-
Able to take initiative and work as part of a small, supportive team.
-
Comfortable volunteering in a flexible, hybrid (remote and in-person) role.
What you’ll gain
-
Meaningful experience in volunteer coordination and community engagement.
-
The chance to be part of a growing, purpose-driven initiative.
-
A flexible role that fits around your life.
-
The opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives.
At Bright Connections, we are building more than a project, we are building a community where everyone belongs.
Together, we shine brighter.
If you’d love to help bring people together and support a community that truly cares, we would love to hear from you.
Help us create connections that change lives.
