Programme management volunteer roles
Are you inspired by creativity and the power of stories? Do you want to shape the future of a nationally significant cultural charity? If so, you could become a trustee at the Roald Dahl Museum & Story Centre!
Why this role matters
Our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in ensuring the Museum fulfils its charitable purpose, uses resources wisely, and remains sustainable for future generations. Trustees provide strategic oversight, ensure good governance, and support the long-term vision of the organisation.
We are at the start of an exciting five-year transformation programme to strengthen our impact, grow visitor engagement, and deliver a major capital redevelopment project: “Unlocking Stories at the Roald Dahl Museum”. Trustees will play a pivotal role in guiding the Museum through this important period of change, growth, and opportunity.
Who we are looking for
We are seeking people who want to make a meaningful, strategic contribution and help shape the future direction of the Museum. Trustees work collaboratively to guide strategy, support ambitious plans, and ensure the organisation thrives creatively, financially, and operationally.
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
- Human Resources – to shape our people strategy, leadership development, and organisational culture.
- Finance – to shape our financial strategy through a major capital project and to ensure the museum thrives long-term (ideally this trustee will be a qualified accountant).
- Fundraising – to grow income and support the delivery of our redevelopment and future sustainability.
- Partnerships – to encourage the development of strategic partnerships nationally and internationally.
You do not need previous trustee experience, nor do you need to have worked in a museum or cultural organisation. We welcome first-time trustees and are looking for people with good judgement, strategic thinking skills, and a collaborative approach. All reasonable expenses are covered.
Time commitment and terms
- Trustees typically contribute around one working day per month, including Board meetings and participation in at least one committee (Finance, Governance, Fundraising, or Capital Project Committee).
- Trustees are appointed for an initial three-year term, with the possibility of reappointment for a second term.
- This is a voluntary, unpaid role, but all reasonable travel and out-of-pocket expenses are reimbursed, including childcare.
Trustees receive a full induction, mentoring, and clear briefing materials, allowing them to focus on strategic oversight rather than operational detail. The Museum encourages and covers the cost of relevant training to support Trustees in their role
Serving as a trustee offers the opportunity to:
- Shape the future of a unique cultural institution with national significance.
- Contribute to an ambitious capital redevelopment and transformation programme.
- Apply your professional expertise in a high-impact, generative leadership role.
- Collaborate with motivated colleagues who share a passion for creativity, heritage, and learning.
Application timeline
- Application closing date = Noon, 20 April 2026
- Interviews at the Museum = 21 May 2026

About the Charity
From Me to You is an inspiring charity dedicated to alleviating loneliness and isolation for people living with cancer. We make connections for people living with cancer through the simple, powerful act of letter writing easing loneliness and bringing comfort, hope and human connection, one letter at a time. Recent feedback showed that 93% of our letter recipients reported the letters lifted their mood and a quarter said that they made them feel less alone. Each year thousands of anonymous letters are collated by our team of volunteers and then given to patients at home, in hospitals or cancer centres by nurses and our charity partners, with 80% of recipients saying that our letters made them feel cared for. Our work is powered by a passionate community of volunteers, in 2025 with their help we processed over 17,000 letters from all over the world, delivering them to cancer patients throughout the UK.
Our Donate a Letter programme supports our 2,500+ volunteer letter writers to contribute anonymous letters, some people write a couple of letters a year, others one a week. These letters are all delivered to our PO Box in Ascot. They are then sorted, read and processed by our wonderful team of local Donate a Letter volunteers which this role would be a part of. These volunteers also then repackaged and redistributed the suitable letters to cancer patients through our partnership with hospitals, cancer centres and other charities that act as distribution partners.
About the Role
We are looking for compassionate and reliable volunteers to support our Donate a Letter programme by undertaking the letter reading, processing and packaging tasks from the comfort of their own home.
This role can involve collecting the letters from our PO Box, reviewing donated letters to ensure they meet our content guidelines and packaging up the letters ready to be sent to individuals living with cancer in their home or through our outlet partners.
Our volunteers play a vital role in helping us deliver safe, thoughtful and uplifting correspondence so this is a vital role to the charity but it can be very flexible so can suit volunteers needs and time allowance. Volunteers for this role are all based within the area local to the PO box so there is opportunity to undertake this volunteering with others but there is no requirement to do this. You will receive all the training you need to confidently fulfil this role, training would be in person or online with our Founder Alison and would include reading letters together to identify content issues and will be supplemented with written resources including a fact sheet on the do’s and don’ts of what letters can contain.

-
Handle all materials with care and confidentiality

-
There is no minimum time requirement, though consistency is appreciated
There is opportunity for volunteers to undertake one element of this process or undertake it end to end, this will depend on the number of active volunteers we have and how much time each volunteer is able to commit. We believe in this role being fully flexible so we can discuss what set up might be suitable in our introduction meetings to ensure we can meet your needs.
What We’re Looking For
- Good reading comprehension and attention to detail
-
Sensitivity and empathy
-
Ability to follow clear content guidelines
-
Reliability and discretion
-
Access to a safe home environment to carry out the role
This is an accessible role and therefore we can work with volunteers to ensure they are able to undertake the role through training, support and peer supervision. Most of all we are looking for people who have a passion for creating meaningful impact for people living with cancer.
What You’ll Gain
-
The opportunity to make a meaningful difference in someone’s life

Constantnople Enterprise delivers AI-enabled HDPE fish cages that boost productivity, reduce pollution, and support sustainable aquaculture across Kenya and the broader African region.
Fish farmers often rely on traditional cage systems that lack real-time monitoring and durability, leading to high mortality rates and inconsistent yields. This inefficiency contributes to food insecurity and environmental degradation, as unmanaged systems can cause water pollution and feed waste. With climate change bringing temperature fluctuations and oxygen depletion, farmers need adaptive technology to protect their livelihoods and freshwater ecosystems.
Constantnople provides a high-tech circular solution by integrating durable High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE) cages with an AI-powered monitoring system. Our sensors track water quality parameters like dissolved oxygen and temperature in real time, while data analytics optimize feeding schedules to reduce waste and detect early signs of fish stress. By combining resilient physical infrastructure with digital intelligence, we empower farmers to increase productivity, improve survival rates, and promote responsible management of aquatic environments.

This Role Turns Digital Campaigns Into Real-World Impact. At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., online fundraising is more than clicks—it’s building a movement.
The Online Fundraising and Campaign Manager ensures that all digital campaigns—from social media drives to crowdfunding initiatives—are strategically designed, executed, and optimised for impact. You will lead online engagement, campaign planning, and donor acquisition strategies, connecting supporters to the CIC’s mission and converting attention into meaningful action.

Why This Role Matters
Online fundraising is critical for the CIC’s sustainability:
- It generates immediate and scalable revenue for programmes
