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 a dedicated Board of Trustees. We have the momentum. Now, we need the engine.
The Volunteer Opportunity: Operations Manager (Volunteer)
As our first-ever Operations Manager, you won’t just be "volunteering"—you will be the right hand to our Founder and CEO. You will be the bridge between our ambitious milestones and the real-world impact we make on men across the country.
Who You Are
We aren't looking for a CV; we’re looking for a character. We need a leader who is:
-
A Natural Strategist: You have the entrepreneurial spirit to see a "brand new" charity not as a blank page, but as a canvas for greatness.
-
A People Person: You understand that "Operations" is actually about people. You can inspire, direct, and steer a team with empathy and clarity.
-
A Person of Action: You possess the passion and dedication to turn "what if" into "what is."
-
A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental wellbeing and the power of personal growth.
The Volunteer Role
Working directly with the Founder, you will steer the ship. You’ll manage the day-to-day mechanics of the charity, refine our processes, and ensure that every milestone we hit translates into a better life for a man in need.
Why Join Us?
This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will help shape the culture of MINDSET from the ground up. You’ll gain high-level leadership experience, but more importantly, you’ll be the reason a father, a brother, or a son finds the community he needs to thrive.
"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build a stronger foundation for men across England."
If you have the leadership skills to manage and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health.
To empower men across England to take charge of their mental wellbeing and personal growth through connection, conversation, and community.

Our vision for volunteering
Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.
The difference you will make to cats and people
At Cats Protection we help thousands of cats and kittens each year thanks to our dedicated and passionate volunteer groups. We have branches across the UK, all of which help our cats in different ways. Branches take in stray and abandoned cats and ensure they receive the veterinary care and attention they deserve; help raise funds, promote neutering and help spread cat welfare messages. Our branch team leader volunteers lead their local team by supporting and managing volunteers within their group, maintaining communications with both volunteers and employees, and helping promote a positive and professional image of Cats Protection.
You can expect us to
- Make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
- Support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
- Cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
- Provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities
A bit more information about this role and the team
Winchester and District Cats Protection is a long-standing branch whose volunteer numbers have dwindled, reducing their activity level. We are rebuilding the team and are looking for an energetic Branch Team Leader to coordinate the branch’s activities, working with existing volunteers and supporting new ones as we expand. Our ideal candidate of course must be a cat lover, but should also have excellent people skills and be able to communicate effectively with people from a variety of backgrounds. Although cat welfare experience is preferable, this is not as important as management skills and the enthusiasm to get stuck into something new. Full training and support will be provided.
What we need from you
You’ll be:
- Supporting your team of volunteers in all aspects of their roles, making sure volunteers are happy and confident
- Making sure the team observes charity best practice and compliance
- Collaborating with your Branch Development Manager (BDM) to plan volunteer activity
- Leading the team to follow Cats Protection policies, procedures and guidelines
- Monitoring expenditure and helping ensure long term financial stability of the volunteer group
- Organising and chairing team meetings
- Acting as an ambassador for Cats Protection
Time expectation
Our branch team leader volunteers usually spend 10 to 15 hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed. There will be times of year when more hours are required, such as towards the end of the financial year, but support and guidance are available.

Are you looking for a fresh challenge that makes a positive difference to the lives of Young People throughout the UK?
At Childline we are actively recruiting new Volunteers.
What will I be doing?
- Your shift will consist of 3hrs30mns counselling, sandwiched between a 15mns brief before your shift and a 30mns debrief post shift. This is to ensure that you can start and finish your shift with any support you require from your Practitioners.
- On shift you will take contacts from Young People who rely on the service that Childline offers. Childline is not there to solve problems, we are a listening service for Young People and in each contact your role is to engage the Young Person, explore their situation and to support them in deciding their next steps.
- The contacts you would take from Young People can come in 3 ways. Traditional phone call contacts, live chats via instant response typed messaging or less commonly via 'PIBS' which are essentially emails sent by Young People in the knowledge the response will not be 'live' and instant.
What impact will this have?
- Childline is a unique service, valued greatly by the Young People who contact us.
- It provides a safe place for Young People to talk confidentially to our Volunteer Counsellors, an option that many of them do not have elsewhere.
- Young People rely on us being there for them 24/7. In an average month, Childline London takes approx. 1,500 live chats, 900 voice calls and 300 PIBs.
- However, the demand for the service often outstrips the supply as Young People who desperately need our service cannot always get through.
- That is why we are actively recruiting new Volunteers to be able to meet the need of all Young People who are in distress and need the support that Childline provides.
Training
- Childline offers a full 12 week online training programme to new Volunteers. This consists of one 4 hour session per week.
- During the training, you will meet other Volunteers in your cohort and have access to your 2 dedicated Childline Trainers.
- As part of the training, you will also go in person to the London Base for observation and mentored shifts which give you a face to face insight into how the Counselling Room works.
- You will also have access to a dedicated Volunteer Engagement Lead to give you a London Base tour (optional) and generally be on hand to answer any questions or queries you may have - big or small, if they matter to you they matter because you are giving your time to volunteer and Childline wants to offer you every level of support.
- Once you pass through training and become a qualified Childline Volunteer Counsellor, the development opportunities do not stop there. You will have access to a multitude of mandatory and optional training courses that are accredited and 100% free to all Volunteers.
Childline provides a safe place for Young People to talk confidentially to Volunteer Counsellors, an option that many of them do not have elsewhere.

Ready to Make a Difference in 2026? Then come and Volunteer with Us.....
We are thrilled to be opening a brand-new Charity Shop in Langney Road, Eastbourne – and we are looking for volunteers to come and join our Team…
Our shops are a hive of activity and the heart of the local community. They raise funds to support our vital work and provide a place for local people to find out more about how we help older people in their area. Our volunteers always enjoy being part of our shop teams; chatting to our customers about the fabulous items we sell and telling them about the fantastic work that we do.

When people come in to donate items you will be thanking them for their support and helping them to complete Gift Aid signups on our Gift Aid system.
You will help to make our shops look amazing; putting out items that the sorting teams have prepared, helping with merchandising, labelling and ensuring the shop is clean and always looking its' best.
You will need to be ok using a touch screen device as our tills run on a tablet, though we will always provide full training and some time for you to get used to using this first.
Lastly, you may have people enquiring about our work, or asking for help and we will provide you with all the details of where to refer them to within the charity.
It would be ideal if you could volunteer one shift a week, which is about four hours but we're also happy to have more flexible times. No special skills are needed as we will show you what to do and will provide all the training you need.
It’s really easy to get your volunteering started, if you're over 16 years old please apply now.

SUNSHINE is a brand new loneliness and wellbeing charity with a simple but powerful mission: to bring people together, spread joy, nurture community spirit, and create spaces where everyone feels seen, valued, and connected.
With our charity application submitted, our dedicated Board of Trustees in place, and a series of exciting pilot programmes ready to launch, we are stepping into a defining moment — and we’re looking for someone extraordinary to step in with us.
Could you be our first ever Learning & Development Coordinator / Manager?
This is a rare and meaningful opportunity to help shape a charity from the ground up by building the learning culture that will empower every volunteer who joins our movement.
We’re searching for a volunteer who brings:
-
A passion for developing people and nurturing potential.
-
Experience in training, facilitation, coaching, or learning design.
-
A warm, encouraging approach that builds confidence and capability.
-
A belief in continuous improvement — for individuals and for the charity.
-
A collaborative spirit and a love of helping others grow.
As our inaugural Learning & Development lead, you will ensure our volunteers are tooled up with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to shine in their roles. You will help create a culture where learning is joyful, accessible, and empowering — and where every volunteer feels supported to become their best self.
What you’ll help us build
-
Induction and onboarding pathways that feel warm, clear, and welcoming.
-
Training sessions, guides, and resources that equip volunteers to thrive.
-
A supportive learning environment rooted in kindness and growth.
-
Continuous improvement processes that help SUNSHINE evolve with purpose.
-
Opportunities for volunteers to develop personally and professionally.
-
A culture where learning is celebrated, shared, and woven into everything we do.
This is more than a role — it’s a chance to help write the opening chapter of a charity designed to brighten lives, strengthen communities, and uplift everyone involved.
Why SUNSHINE?
Because we believe in:
-
Joy as a form of care
-
Community as a source of strength
-
Connection as a human right
-
People as the heart of everything we do
-
Growth as a shared journey
If you’re someone who leads with purpose, loves helping others flourish, and wants to make a real difference, we would love to meet you.
Ready to help us bring more SUNSHINE into the world?
Let’s build something beautiful together — one smile, one moment, one community at a time.
