As part of the Government led Gommunities for Afghans programme, we are looking to recruit individuals or groups to make up a team of 6 volunteers to support an Afghan family - you could be friends, neighbours, colleagues, faith groups, veterans, or community organisations are welcome.
We are currently focussed on supporting families across Wales, West Midlands and Scotland but be keen to support elsewhere geographically where possible. With this in mind, you may live in these areas, but we are also delighted to bring volunteers together remotely to support a family.
You will be at the heart of this programme. It is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference!
The Communities for Afghans programme is a community-led Government initiative supporting families as they rebuild their lives in the UK. It is a Government-approved scheme that enables local people to welcome Afghan refugee famiklies into their community.

- Training & Ongoing Support Our partners provide full training, so your group feels confident and well prepared. This simple, practical training is offered before you begin and continues throughout the sponsorship journey.
- Identify Suitable Housing With our guidance, your group helps find long-term accommodation. We then match an Afghan family of the appropriate size and ensure the property is suitable and affordable. Government funding is available for rent deposits and related costs.
- Welcome & Support the Family Volunteers help the family register with schools, healthcare, benefits, and local services, while introducing them to the community and supporting them as they adjust to life in the UK.
- Be the Local Point of Contact You act as the family’s trusted guide, helping them navigate the area, understand local systems, and access opportunities that only residents truly know.
- Commit for Three Years Sponsor groups support the family for three years, providing consistency as they grow in independence, confidence, and resilience.
Why Your Support Matters
Volunteering through Community Sponsorship is a powerful act of solidarity. You are not only helping one family — you are strengthening your entire community.
Your support helps families:
- Rebuild their lives in safety and dignity
- Access education, healthcare, and employment
- Learn English and integrate into the community
- Become confident and independent
And your community benefits:
- Stronger local connections

Bournemouth Foodbank is looking for committed and skilled individuals to serve as trustees.
The Foodbank is at an exciting time as we have just secured funding to develop a whole new branch of initiatives. We are a Pathfinder Foodbank, piloting new programmes for the Trussell Trust Foodbank Network.
Food poverty is a complex issue that requires a range of joined-up approaches to solve. Frontline services are vital; however, people need more than food for the next three days; they need to feel that they are seen and heard, and they need to know that they have a legitimate place in society. That’s why we are developing these new more than food initiatives and working to prevent dependency and the need for foodbanks in the future.
In order to meet the challenges ahead we are particularly keen to recruit Trustees with legal experience, fundraising, strong administrative skills and, availability to attend the Foodbank on an ad hoc basis (at least fortnightly) during weekdays. Lived experience using Foodbanks or similar crisis services, as well as anyone with a background in Health and Well Being services, or Hospitality would all be extremely valuable additions to our board of trustees.
Vital is to be committed to the vision of Bournemouth Foodbank and concerned about our local communities in BCP as well as social justice equal opportunities. You will want to be giving your time and skills to work alongside our board to shape the future services on offer to our local community and support our few paid staff team and over 150 volunteers.
The time commitment would be a few hours a month, the expectation to attend the Foodbank at least fortnightly during weekdays and some flexibility to support occasional events would be wonderful (but entirely optional).
Responsibilities
As a trustee you will share collective responsibility for the governance of Bournemouth Foodbank and all decisions made by the trustee board, ensuring the organisation is well run, fulfils its mission, is compliant with charity law and that the charity is open and accountable.
Key Tasks
- to approve, support, and guide the charity’s purpose, vision, strategy, goals and objectives;
- to manage the charity’s resources responsibly, including ensuring the charity’s assets are used only to carry out its purpose, avoid undue risk, and not over-commit the charity;
- to ensure the effective and efficient administration of the charity, responding to changes in the local community as appropriate to ensure that key risks are identified, monitored, and controlled appropriately
- to ensure appropriate financial plans are in place, budgets are monitored, and progress is evaluated
- to help promote the organisation to key stakeholders and beneficiaries
- to ensure the charity has appropriate procedures to comply with current legislation and good practice, including employment, health and safety, equity, diversity and inclusion, safeguarding, and GDPR compliance/data protection
- to prepare for (including creating agendas, taking minutes etc) and regularly attend and participate in trustee meetings and subcommittee meetings.
Please apply through CharityJobs, providing a CV and cover letter detailing why you are interested in this role and your relevant experience. Shortlisted candidates will be invited for an informal interview with members of the Board of Trustees at Bournemouth Foodbank.
You must be 18 or over to apply for this role, and you must not be disqualified from acting as a trustee and declare any conflict of interest whilst carrying out the duties of a trustee.

This Role Turns Data Into Action, Not Just Numbers
At Tell My Truth and Shame the Devil C.I.C., content is created at scale by hundreds of volunteers. But content without insight is wasted effort.
The Social Media Analysis & Insights Officer ensures that every post, video clip, podcast snippet, or visual asset has measurable impact. You are the intelligence engine, translating raw platform data into actionable strategies for growth, engagement, and community trust.
This role is not about vanity metrics. It is about understanding what works, what resonates, and what drives meaningful action.
Purpose of the Role
The purpose of this role is to:
- Measure, track, and interpret performance across all CIC platforms
- Identify content that drives donor growth, volunteer mobilisation, VFAP recruitment, and community engagement
- Provide actionable insight to content creators, campaign managers, and the Social Media Director
- Highlight trends, risks, and opportunities at platform and borough-level
- Ensure data-informed decisions guide strategy without sacrificing values or ethics
You transform analytics into intelligence that shapes action.
Experience Qualification and Requirements
Essential experience
- Experience in social media analytics across one or more platforms (TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, LinkedIn).
- Experience building dashboards and visual reporting (e.g., Looker Studio/Google Data Studio, Power BI, Tableau, or equivalent).
- Experience using Excel or Google Sheets for analysis, including KPI tracking, trend analysis, and data cleaning.
- Experience measuring and reporting KPIs for digital content or campaigns, including performance interpretation and recommendations.
- Experience turning data into actionable insights (not just reporting numbers) and communicating them clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
Essential skills
- Strong analytical thinking with ability to identify patterns, test assumptions, and avoid over-reliance on vanity metrics.
- Ability to connect performance signals to outcomes (donations, volunteer actions, trust indicators) and explain correlation limits responsibly.
- Strong data visualisation and storytelling skills: clear dashboards, concise summaries, and practical “what to do next” outputs.
- High attention to detail and consistency in KPI definitions, reporting cadence, and data integrity.
- Ability to work collaboratively with director, campaign, content, engagement, and systems teams to improve performance loops.
- Self-management, reliability, and accountability in a fast-moving build phase with evolving priorities.
Desirable
- Experience with non-profit or community impact measurement, including engagement quality and trust signals.
- Experience with trend research, audience insight, and experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, creative testing).
- Familiarity with tracking ambassador/community distribution and localised (“borough-level”) engagement patterns.
Formal qualifications
-
Formal qualifications are not required; equivalent practical experience is highly valued.
Main Responsibilities/ Key Duties
- Build and maintain performance dashboards that track platform, campaign, and community-level outcomes across TikTok, Instagram, X, YouTube, and LinkedIn.
- Analyse correlations between content performance and organisational outcomes, including content-to-donation, content-to-volunteer mobilisation, and content-to-engagement/retention signals.
- Track ambassador adoption of approved content, including what gets used, where it performs best, and what barriers reduce uptake (format, clarity, timing, relevance).
- Identify high-performing formats, topics, hooks, CTAs, posting patterns, and creators, and translate these into repeatable insights the team can action quickly.
- Generate insights at multiple levels: platform-specific performance, campaign-level learning, and borough/community-specific engagement patterns to support localised messaging.
- Feed intelligence consistently to the Social Media Director, Campaign Manager, Content Creators, and Engagement Officers to improve strategy, production priorities, and community responses.
- Recommend practical action plans to scale what works (replicate formats, expand reach, optimise distribution) and address underperforming content (iterate creative, adjust targeting, refine CTA).
- Maintain clear records for reporting and transparency, ensuring insight outputs are traceable, consistent, and suitable for internal review and governance.
- Support development of KPI frameworks and reporting standards, including definitions, measurement rules, cadence, and ownership, so the C.I.C can scale analysis without confusion.
- Contribute to continuous improvement by testing hypotheses, monitoring trends, and flagging risks (e.g., vanity metrics, misleading interpretations, safeguarding-sensitive performance patterns).
This role is not suitable if you:
- Prefer to work without data
- Seek surface-level social media metrics
- Are uncomfortable making recommendations that influence strategy
- Want purely creative or posting roles
- Expect immediate paid employment
Important to Be Clear
This is:
- A volunteer role during the build phase
- A position of real strategic influence
- Not symbolic; your work directly shapes the CIC’s growth and impact
Paid roles will be introduced as funding and sustainability allow.
Next Steps
Shortlisted applicants will be invited to:
- A values and ethics conversation
- A practical discussion about data, reporting, and actionable insight
If you believe data is a tool for community transformation, and that impact is more important than vanity metrics, this role is for you.
A Final Word
Data is about people, not numbers.
If you know that:
Trust is built through accuracy and accountability
Context matters more than vanity metrics
Insight carries ethical responsibility
