Volunteer roles in Cardiff

Corrie Energy Partners is building a revolutionary solar tracker that increases energy yield, reduces costs, and enables dual-use land, specifically designed for northern climates.

One of the most significant obstacles to Net Zero is the massive waste of solar potential in the northern 40% of the global market. Above 40° latitude, traditional "static" panels squander 10% of total solar potential because they cannot follow the sun’s path. As a high-stakes hardware venture moving from R&D to commercial scale, the challenge is building the operational "muscles" required to turn technical success into a global market leader.

Our patented Latitude40 tracker solves the "tracking gap" by radically rethinking solar kinematics for northern regions. It unlocks up to 30% more energy per panel than static arrays and generates power during high-value peak hours when demand is highest. Our design reduces mechanical loads by 90% to ensure a 25-year lifespan in harsh conditions, while our proprietary firmware transforms solar arrays into intelligent, grid-responsive assets.

Role Overview:
We are looking for a mission-driven Manufacturing & Supply Chain Advisor to lead our transition from prototype to a scalable UK operation. You will be instrumental in securing the partners and certifications required to move our hardware from a proven invention to a commercially "bankable" global asset.

Key Responsibilities:

• Partner Sourcing: Identify and qualify UK steel fabrication partners of the right scale for our patented tripod frames.
• Commercial Negotiation: Develop and negotiate Heads of Terms that motivate suppliers while maintaining our production flexibility.
• Grants & Support: Navigate the UK manufacturing landscape to secure complementary support and grants (e.g., Made Smarter).
• Cost Optimization: Support Design for Manufacture (DfM) discussions to drive our reduction in production costs.
• Certification: Ideally, advise on UKCA certification for consumer market readiness and update the technical file to reflect this.

About You:

• Experienced in the solar sector or comparable steel-product manufacturing.
• Proven track record in UK manufacturing partner sourcing and cost reduction.
• Strong commercial background in negotiating supply agreements and Heads of Terms.
• Knowledge of the UK grant landscape and UKCA/CE certification processes.

Commitment & Impact:

• The Commitment: A part-time, unpaid remote volunteer role. We expect ~6 hours per week for 6 months.
• The Impact: You will be de-risking a groundbreaking technology that captures the "missing" 30% of the world's solar potential.
• What You Gain: Direct influence on the commercialization of deep-tech IP, working alongside a founding team with a 90-year track record in energy exits.
• Flexibility: We offer fully flexible meeting times to suit your professional schedule.

Minimum Hours per Week:

4-6 hours per week

HERVEG.05 helps women and youth farmers grow nutritious food, raise poultry, and increase income sustainably.

HERVEG.05 addresses the critical issues of malnutrition, food insecurity, and poverty in Tanzania, which ranks among the top 15 countries globally for child stunting. Smallholder farmers, who produce the majority of the country's food, frequently lack the training and tools necessary to overcome poor soil fertility and climate-driven challenges. This creates a devastating cycle of low productivity and worsening hunger that permanently affects the development of millions of children.

The solution is a practical, climate-smart pathway designed for rural realities. HERVEG.05 utilizes a "Mobile layaway" system allowing farmers to purchase seeds and poultry inputs incrementally via phone. Their model includes hands-on training and last-mile delivery of inputs directly to remote village groups. By providing "Nutri-Reach Bundles"—which combine poultry, biofortified maize, and vegetables—the startup creates a circular economy. Poultry manure improves soil, biofortified crops fight malnutrition, and improved storage reduces waste. This integrated system builds resilience against climate change while simultaneously boosting family income and health.

We’re looking for a Food Security & Impact Data Analyst to help us analyse already collected field data from our poultry and food security programme and transform it into clear, internationally credible results.

This role is for someone who can take data from raw datasets to final impact evidence, analysis, interpretation, and storytelling.

You will work on analysing Household Hunger Scale (HHS) and Coping Strategies Index (Last 7 Days) data, assess programme impact, and develop a strong proof of concept showing how our work improves food security and livelihoods.

This role is for someone who:

1. Understands how to analyse Household Hunger Scale (HHS) using FANTA / FAO / WFP methodology and can correctly score and classify hunger levels.
2. Can calculate the Reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) confidently.
3. Knows how to apply severity weighting and analyse frequency × severity relationships.
4. Can interpret household food stress levels beyond simple numbers.
5. Understands emergency coping vs stress coping behaviours.
6. Clearly understands food access vs food availability dynamics.
7. Recognizes seasonal food insecurity patterns in rural communities.

Has strong experience using data analysis tools such as:

• Advanced Microsoft Excel (data cleaning, pivot tables, indicator calculations)
• SPSS, Stata, or R for statistical analysis
• Data visualization tools such as PowerPoint, Power BI, or Tableau to present findings clearly

Can clean datasets, interpret findings, and translate technical analysis into clear narratives and visuals. Has experience analysing agriculture, livelihood, or food security programmes.

Enjoys turning data into stories that donors, partners, and communities can understand. We have already completed data collection. What we need now is someone who can take the process to completion by delivering:

• A clear Narrative Impact Report.
• A simple slide-based Impact Presentation.
• A strong Proof of Concept report demonstrating programme outcomes.

If you believe data should not sit in spreadsheets but should prove real change for farmers, women, and youth, this is your space. If this sounds like you, we encourage you to apply.

Graphic Designer – VOLUNTEER

Flexible Hours | Remote | Start‑Up Youth Social Mobility Charity

About REMIX

REMIX is a start‑up, youth‑led social mobility charity transforming young lives across London. Based in Shoreditch, we empower young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to unlock their potential, build confidence, and develop essential life skills through nurturing mentorship, inspiring role models, and transformative opportunities.

We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Graphic Designer (Volunteer) who can help bring REMIX’s visual identity to life and put us firmly on the map.

The Role

We are seeking a creative, energetic, and impact‑driven Graphic Designer (Volunteer) to help shape REMIX’s visual presence across digital and print. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves designing for purpose, enjoys youth‑focused branding, and wants to help build the look and feel of a movement from the ground up.

You will work closely with the Founder and wider team, to create bold, exciting, and culturally relevant designs that amplify REMIX’s voice across London.

Time commitment: FLEXIBLE & REMOTE, including:

• Design briefs and creative sessions

• Digital and print asset creation

• Occasional collaboration with leadership and volunteers

Key Responsibilities

As Graphic Designer (Volunteer), you will:

• Create impactful digital and print materials that increase brand awareness and excitement around REMIX.

• Design posters, social media graphics, flyers, banners, campaign visuals, and other creative assets.

• Bring REMIX’s brand guidelines to life with consistency, creativity, and youth‑friendly energy.

• Support the development of visual storytelling that highlights our mission, programmes, and impact.

• Help shape the visual identity of a start‑up charity with big ambitions.

• Ensure all designs feel vibrant, accessible, and aligned with our values of empowerment, equity, compassion, and inspiration.

This role blends creativity, branding, youth culture, and movement‑building — perfect for someone who wants their work to spark excitement and visibility.

What We’re Looking For

You don’t need years of experience — we welcome emerging designers, students, freelancers, and creatives looking to build their portfolio. What matters most is your creativity, your passion, and your ability to design with purpose.

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.

• Creative, bold, and excited by designing for a youth‑led movement.

• Confident using design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Suite, Figma — whatever you prefer).

• Able to work collaboratively but also independently on briefs.

• Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.

• Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.

Experience with branding, social media design, or campaign visuals is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative instincts and a willingness to learn.

Why Join REMIX?

• Play a central role in shaping the visual identity of a start‑up charity with huge potential.

• Help build a movement that champions equity, compassion, and opportunity.

• See your designs used across London to inspire young people and supporters.

• Work with passionate Trustees and volunteers who care deeply about young people.

• Build your portfolio with real‑world, high‑impact creative work.

• Make a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of young Londoners.

This is your chance to design the look and feel of a movement.

CLOSING DATE: Monday 30th March 2026, before 5pm

We’re looking for trustees

We’re looking to recruit dynamic, committed and motivated people with professional skills and experience who are as passionate as we are about empowering individuals to work through and beyond their experience of sexual abuse.

Specific qualifications are not necessarily required and we welcome applicants with lived experience. A genuine interest in learning about our charity and our services within the local community is essential.

These trustees will help to form a new board dedicated to supporting the charity and contributing to the effective and quality governance of Trust House.

About the role:

We are currently seeking qualified, women solicitor, barrister and qualified legal executive volunteers to provide legal advice on our Family Law advice line. All volunteering is done remotely and you must be qualified to practice in England and Wales.

What will you be doing?

We offer a safe space for women to talk about their situation and receive expert legal advice to enable them to make important decisions about their future.

For 50 years our free telephone advice lines have provided vital legal advice for women experiencing  domestic abuse on issues such as protective orders,  child arrangements, finances and divorce or separation.

We ask all our volunteers to:

• Provide advice on our advice lines for one 2-hour session a month (minimum);
• Attend the induction training session provided by Rights of Women;
• Give clear and accurate legal advice to callers;
• Be non-judgemental and non-discriminatory in their approach;
• Follow our procedures for making records of calls and obtaining monitoring information;

• Attend all agreed advice line sessions (remotely);
• Inform us as soon as possible if they are unable to attend an agreed session;
• Abide by Rights of Women’s procedures, standards and policies, including equal opportunities and confidentiality in relation to staff, volunteers and users.

What are we looking for?
The qualifications and skills we look for in a volunteer are:

• A woman solicitor, barrister or CILEx member;
• A current practicing certificate;
• Ability to work remotely with adequate internet access and a private space;
• Good communication skills;
• The ability to deliver advice clearly and calmly;
• An empathetic, non-judgemental and non-discriminatory manner;
• A working knowledge of the relevant area of law for their advice line;
• Commitment to equal opportunities;
• Commitment to the aims and objectives of Rights of Women.

A feminist perspective on the law and the issues we advise on is essential.

About Rights of Women

Rights of Women’s vision is to achieve equality, justice and safety in the law for all women. 2025 saw our 50th anniversary!

Our mission is to advise, educate and empower women by:

• Providing women with free, confidential legal advice by specialist women solicitors and barristers
• Enabling women to understand and benefit from their legal rights through accessible and timely publications and training
• Campaigning to ensure that women’s voices are heard and law and policy meets all women’s needs.

What difference will you make?
For decades, our volunteers have been at the heart of Rights of Women’s advice lines. They provide trusted legal guidance, compassionate support and reassurance to women navigating complex and distressing legal situations, often during some of the most difficult periods of their working and family lives.

“I have been a volunteer with Rights of Women since September 2003, which possibly makes me one of the longest-serving telephone advisors on the evening helpline; in a way this speaks for itself! The helpline is an indispensable service and many women have told me that they consider it a lifeline.”

“Dealing with the legal system is often a source of great anxiety, uncertainty and confusion. I have spoken with many women in very difficult situations. It is important that they know that we are here for the and it is rewarding to help.”
