Work experience support volunteer volunteer volunteer roles

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 architect of our community.

The Volunteer Opportunity: Volunteer Coordinator (Volunteer)

As our first-ever Volunteer Coordinator, you won’t just be "managing people"—you will be the guardian of our culture. You will be the first point of contact for the passionate individuals joining our mission, ensuring that every person who steps up to help MINDSET feels valued, supported, and empowered to make a difference.

Who You Are

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

• A Natural People Person: You have the warmth and emotional intelligence to welcome new volunteers and the intuition to see where their talents fit best.

• An Inspiring Leader: You understand that a charity is only as strong as its people. You can motivate a diverse team and keep the spirit of brotherhood alive.

• A Person of Action: You possess the organizational spark to turn interest into impact, streamlining how we recruit, onboard, and support our team.

• A Believer: You are deeply committed to men’s mental wellbeing and understand the life-changing power of a supportive community.

The Volunteer Role

Working closely with the Founder and the Board, you will be the "Face of MINDSET" for our growing team. You’ll design the volunteer journey, coordinate our expanding network of supporters, and ensure that as we grow across England, our core values of brotherhood and growth remain at the center of everything we do.

Why Join Us?

This is a chance to be there at the "Day One" of something massive. You will help shape the very DNA of MINDSET. You’ll gain incredible experience in community building and leadership, but more importantly, you’ll be the person who brings together the tribe that helps a father, a brother, or a son find his way back to health.

"A man’s mindset is the foundation of his future. Help us build the community that supports that foundation."

If you have the people skills to inspire and the heart to serve, we want to hear from you. Help us turn the tide on men’s mental health.

Our Mission

Brain tumours do not discriminate, and they do not respect boundaries. They can strike anyone, at any age. And they strike quickly.

Each volunteer is vital to making The Twilight Walk, a walking event that raises funds and awareness for brain tumours, such a special and successful day. No matter the role you play, you’ll make a big difference to us and all our walkers.

How can you help?

As a Route Marshal you will work as a team alongside section leaders (staff), to ensure participants are safe and looked after throughout the walk. You’ll get to cheer on, support and motivate our walkers throughout The Twilight Walk 5km and 10km route, and help create an exciting, energetic and enjoyable walking experience. You will not be alone for this role, all volunteers will be with at least 1 other volunteer at different aid stations along the route.

Responsibilities:

• To ensure all walkers keep to the pavements and walkways and don’t overspill on to the roads.
• To direct walkers to go in single file where appropriate and to ensure that all pedestrians have an equal opportunity to use pavements and walkways.
• To ensure that all walkers remain on the designated walk route, unless otherwise instructed to by yourself, your section leader or a member of the emergency services.
• To ensure that no walker walks alone. There will be designated front, back and middle walkers to make sure we do not lose anyone.
• To ensure that all walkers are respectful of the local community and try to keep noise to a reasonable level, especially through the residential areas of the route.
• If you are near to an item that could cause injury – i.e. a bollard, advise all walkers as they pass.
• Walkers will let you know if they need a first aider, if they have lost a child or if they would like to drop out of the walk. You will be given full details on how to deal with situations like this in your briefing on the day of the event.
• To ensure that children are properly supervised by their parent or guardian when crossing any roads. It is not your responsibility to cross the walkers or stop traffic – you are only there as assistance if needed

What impact will you have?

The Twilight Walk London is our biggest fundraising event of the year, where 1,300 supporters come together to raise vital funds for The Brain Tumour Charity. However and wherever you get involved, you’ll be part of our dedicated community, uniting around the same goal – beating brain tumours for good.

We’re looking for

As part of our volunteer team you will be enthusiastic, friendly and approachable at all times, ensuring our walkers safety comes first.

• Clear communication skills
• Responsible and reliable
• Able to walk up to 10km (potentially more) and stand up for long periods of time
• This role involves being outside for the duration of the walk so warm clothing and comfortable shoes are essential.

The Brain Tumour Charity is committed to promoting diversity and inclusion in all aspects of our organisation. We particularly welcome applications from individuals belonging to minority ethnic groups, LGBTQ+ communities, people with disabilities, and other underrepresented communities.

What can you gain from volunteering?

• You’ll have the opportunity to develop your communication and people skills through giving clear directions and instructions to participants.
• You’ll develop an understanding of how the Events team organises our flagship event.
• You’ll help the Events team raise more than £3.9 million a year, helping fund life-changing support and pioneering research.

Time commitment

The Twilight Walk London is taking place on Saturday 21st March 2026 at Lindley Hall. Route marshals will need to arrive at 10:30am and will be able to leave from 18:00pm (these times are estimates and subject to change).

We appreciate not everyone can commit to volunteering for the whole day. If you can commit to a few hours and would like to volunteer, please select the shift that suits you. If you need to leave early, let us know so we can ensure there is someone available to check you in and out. We ask that you arrive at the shift start time to receive your on-the-day briefing. Any time you can volunteer is greatly appreciated.

Practical considerations

You will receive training for the role, as well as ongoing direction from one of the team, who will be your key contact. Volunteers must be over 18. We encourage volunteers to claim for any reasonable expenses that are incurred in the course of their volunteering with The Charity.

Need support with the application process?

We are committed to being inclusive and recognise that there may be a number of ways we could support you through

the application process. If there’s any adjustments we can make to help you fully engage in the process, don’t hesitate

to let us know by getting in touch with the Volunteering Team.
