We are looking for someone keen to move into the area of advising small charities on management and governance issues.
We are a very ambitious local grant-making charity that also offers various training, support and consultancy services to small charities and community groups in West London. Our broad-ranging plans are now beginning to bear fruit and so we need volunteers to help us in the following areas as demand for our services continues to grow:
· Supporting small groups and start-ups with basic governance and management issues
· Assessing the impact of our services on groups
· Outreach to new groups
· Possibly helping out with grant application assessments when needed
Our ideal candidate would have a good all-round background in management, consultancy or organisational professional services gained over a number of years, but they need not be experienced in the areas mentioned above. You'd be given full training, with the opportunity to shadow the people already working in these areas. Far more important is adaptability, initiative, an ability to get on well with people from all sorts of backgrounds, and good organisational and writing skills. Most crucially you would have a demonstrable commitment to our ideals of promoting a strong and influential civil society in West London. You will thrive on challenges and find rewards in seeing our objectives achieved.
You would ideally be able to commit an average of 1 day a week and the work would involve dealing with our groups during office hours, so you will probably be someone who is working part-time, or is perhaps retired or semi-retired, or is otherwise not in full-time employment.
Much of the work would be taking place from home, but it will also involve some face to face contact with clients, so living in or around the Ealing, Hounslow or Hillingdon boroughs would be an advantage.
All reasonable expenses will be reimbursed and refreshments provided where suitable.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

Volunteer Graphic Designer
Create the visual identity for a new charity on a mission to unlock potential
At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We are building a new social‑mobility charity dedicated to empowering adults from low‑income backgrounds and communities facing the highest levels of deprivation. Our mission is simple but ambitious: to break barriers, open doors, and unlock the potential that has always been there.
We are preparing to launch — and now we need a talented creative who can help us bring our brand to life.
Your Mission: Design a Brand That Inspires Change
We are looking for a Volunteer Graphic Designer who can create a powerful, meaningful and memorable logo and brand identity that captures the heart of our mission.
This is a chance to shape the visual identity of a charity from day one. Your work will become the face of our movement — appearing across our website, social media, programmes, campaigns and future impact.
You will:
-
Design a bold, inspiring logo that reflects unlocking potential, opportunity and transformation
-
Develop a simple but impactful brand identity (colours, typography, visual style)
-
Create initial brand assets for use across digital platforms
-
Work closely with the Founder to understand our mission, values and audience
-
Help translate our purpose into a visual language that resonates with the communities we serve
Your creativity will help us communicate hope, empowerment and possibility to people who need it most.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll be a great fit if you are:
-
A creative thinker with experience in graphic design or brand development
-
Someone who can turn ideas and values into compelling visual concepts
-
Passionate about social mobility, fairness and creating positive change
-
Able to commit a short burst of time over the coming weeks to help us prepare for launch
-
Excited by the idea of shaping the identity of a brand‑new charity
Whether you’re an experienced designer or an emerging creative looking to build your portfolio, your work will have real purpose and real impact.
Why this role matters
A brand is more than a logo — it’s a promise. A signal of trust. A spark of recognition. A symbol of hope.
Your designs will help us reach people who have been overlooked, underestimated or held back by circumstance. You will help us communicate possibility to adults who deserve the chance to thrive.
- If you want to use your creativity to make a meaningful difference…
- If you want to help build something powerful from the ground up…
- If you want your work to inspire thousands…
We’d love to hear from you.

Lead a Movement. Shape a Legacy. Become the Volunteer CEO of Unlock YOUR Potential
Take the helm of a new social‑mobility charity determined to break barriers and transform futures
At Unlock YOUR Potential, we believe that an accident of birth should never determine a person’s destination. We exist to challenge the structural inequalities that hold people back — and to create pathways to employment, wellbeing and opportunity for adults living in the UK’s most deprived communities.
We are building a charity with a bold mission: to unlock the potential of people who have talent, ambition and drive — but face the highest barriers to opportunity.
Our work is focused in areas ranked among the top 10% most deprived nationally for employment and skills. The need is urgent. The stakes are high. And the opportunity to create lasting change is extraordinary.
Now we are looking for a leader who can help turn this vision into reality.
Volunteer CEO (Founding Leadership Role)
Steer a new charity from concept to impact
This is a rare and remarkable opportunity to become the founding Volunteer CEO of a start‑up social‑mobility charity at the most pivotal moment in its creation.
You will work closely with the Founder to shape the organisation’s direction, culture, strategy and early operations — and play a defining role in building a charity designed to transform thousands of lives.
This is not a ceremonial title. This is hands‑on, mission‑critical leadership.
As our Volunteer CEO, you will:
-
Provide strategic leadership and direction as we move from start‑up to launch
-
Work with the Founder to define our vision, values, priorities and long‑term roadmap
-
Oversee the development of early operational structures, governance and systems
-
Lead and inspire a growing volunteer team across design, operations and service development
-
Drive forward key decisions that shape our programmes, partnerships and impact
-
Champion our mission publicly and help build credibility, trust and momentum
-
Ensure we stay focused, organised and aligned as we prepare to launch our services
-
Play a central role in recruiting the wider volunteer team that will deliver our work
Your leadership will directly influence how quickly and effectively we can begin supporting adults who face the highest barriers to employment and skills.
Who we’re looking for
You’ll thrive in this role if you are:
-
An experienced leader with a background in strategy, operations, organisational development or charity leadership
-
Someone who can bring clarity, structure and direction to a fast‑moving start‑up environment
-
A visionary thinker who can also roll up their sleeves and get things done
-
A collaborator who enjoys building something from the ground up
-
Deeply committed to social mobility, fairness and expanding opportunity
-
Able to commit time over the next few weeks/months to help us reach launch
This is a short‑term, high‑impact volunteer role — but if you wish to continue with us after launch, that option is open.
Why this role matters
This is your chance to lead a charity at the moment of its birth. To shape its identity, its strategy, its culture and its future. To build something that will outlast all of us — and change lives for years to come.
- If you believe in a fairer society…
- If you want to use your leadership to create real, measurable impact…
- If you want to help build a movement that unlocks potential where it’s needed most…
We would be honoured to hear from you.

You will work directly with the Founder to:

Build clear project plans, timelines and action lists for our launch

A builder — someone who enjoys creating order from ambiguity
-
Deeply passionate about fairness, opportunity and social mobility
-
Able to commit time over the next few weeks or months to help us reach launch
If you choose to stay on after the launch, we’d love that — but this particular project is focused on the start‑up phase.
Why this role matters
This is your chance to be part of something at the moment it begins. You won’t just be managing tasks — you’ll be shaping a charity designed to unlock potential for people who have been overlooked for far too long.
- If you want to use your skills to create real, lasting social impact…
- If you want to help build something meaningful from the ground up…
- If you believe that where someone starts should never limit where they can go…
We’d love to hear from you.
