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:
- Understands how to analyse Household Hunger Scale (HHS) using FANTA / FAO / WFP methodology and can correctly score and classify hunger levels.
- Can calculate the Reduced Coping Strategy Index (rCSI) confidently.
- Knows how to apply severity weighting and analyse frequency × severity relationships.
- Can interpret household food stress levels beyond simple numbers.
- Understands emergency coping vs stress coping behaviours.
- Clearly understands food access vs food availability dynamics.
- 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.
Minimum Hours per Week:
10+ hours per week
Duration:
1-2 months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.

Do you love gardening and helping others?
Join our Friday morning gardening group as a Co-Lead and be part of something truly special.
During the growing season, students from a specialist SEND school visit our vibrant Victorian-style kitchen garden each week to plant, water, and harvest fresh fruit and vegetables. Bringing your gardening knowledge and practical skills, you’ll work alongside a staff member who specialises in supporting SEND pupils. Together, you’ll lead a friendly team of around eight volunteers who support the group each Friday.
Experience working with teens with profound and multiple learning disabilities (PMLD) is wonderful but not essential. You’ll be supported by skilled carers and HLC staff, and you’ll gain valuable experience along the way.
What to expect
Sessions run on Friday mornings during term time (April–July and September–October). You’ll help prepare activities, brief volunteers, welcome students, and pair them with one-to-one support for the session.
You may work directly with a participant or oversee the wider group — and, of course, hand out the all-important biscuits at break time! At the end of each session, you’ll lead the tidy-up, support a short debrief with students and volunteers, and share key updates and photos with the volunteer team to keep everyone informed and motivated.
You’ll play an important role in helping participants work towards meaningful goals, such as following instructions, managing transitions, and developing fine motor skills.
What we’re looking for
You’re patient, kind, and empathetic, especially when working with people with learning needs and disabilities. You’re reliable, flexible, and eager to learn.
Consistency is key, so we’re looking for someone who can commit to weekly Friday mornings during both the Autumn and Spring programmes. Your steady, friendly presence will help create stability and comfort for participants who may find change challenging.
Join us — and let’s grow something wonderful together, in the garden and beyond.
Time commitment
-
Fridays, 9:30am–12:00pm
-
Autumn: 4–6 weeks (September–October)
-
Spring: 10–12 weeks (April/May–July)
An additional morning for garden maintenance and session preparation may be helpful in future, but this isn’t essential at the outset.
Skills and experience
-
Gardening knowledge and practical skills (required)
-
Experience with teens with PMLD (desirable, not essential)
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

-
Advising on wider IT needs
Recent projects have included supporting an office move and IT setup, working with The Royal Parks to deliver a new internet connection, rolling out two-tier security logins for staff and volunteers, and upgrading systems ahead of Windows 10 support ending.
Skills and experience
Formal qualifications aren’t required, but professional or personal IT experience will be very useful. We use Microsoft 365, so familiarity with this — and a willingness to learn the platforms and programmes we use — is essential.
Experience or knowledge in the following areas would be particularly helpful:
-
Managing Microsoft 365 and Azure environments (user accounts, security, provisioning)
-
PC updates and IT troubleshooting
-

Are you ready to inspire others and make a real difference? Join our Education Team at The Holly Lodge Centre and help bring the wonders of nature and history to life for visitors of all abilities.
The Holly Lodge Centre was founded with a heartfelt mission: to make nature accessible to everyone. We are proud that over 50% of our programmes are designed for SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) participants.
Our wide range of programmes offers something for everyone. Visitors can explore the natural world on our outdoor trails, step back in time in our Victorian classroom or pharmacy, or share meaningful moments through our Reminiscence programmes for older adults. We welcome children from both mainstream and specialist SEND schools, and your role will be central to creating memorable, inclusive learning experiences.
What we’re looking for
-
A patient, kind and empathetic individual, particularly confident supporting people with learning needs and disabilities
-
A reliable and punctual self-starter who works well as part of a team and can adapt to unexpected changes
-
Someone with a curious mind and infectious enthusiasm for learning
Whether you enjoy pond dipping and invertebrate hunting with children, or love dressing up and bringing history to life through character-led sessions, there’s a place for you at The Holly Lodge Centre. A teaching background is welcome but not essential — what matters most is your ability to engage and guide groups of children with confidence, warmth and joy.
You’ll be fully supported through shadowing opportunities, detailed programme plans and access to further learning resources. No prior specialist knowledge of Richmond Park’s flora, fauna or history is required — just a willingness to learn and share your enthusiasm.

We're looking for a legal expert to join our friendly board, and help people excluded from society build bright futures.
Step Together Volunteering is a small but mighty charity. Through our unique, person-centred approach we support people to build the confidence and skills they need to look towards a positive future.
We work with young people, people in contact with the justice system, and the Armed Forces community, through 1-1 support, coaching and volunteering placements in the community. Our support doesn't have a time limit, we work with our clients until they have the confidence and skills they need to look forward to a more positive future.
We work nationally, our Head Office is Bristol, and our frontline staff are home-based in the regions they cover.
Our legal trustee has recently reached the end of her term, and we're now looking to find a new trustee who'd be happy to share their expertise with the board, and provide ad hoc advice to the CEO from time to time.
As a trustee, alongside your fellow board members you'll be responsible for the strategic leadership and administration of Step Together, and we're keen for you to contribute your perspectives and experiences to discussion. Specifically in relation to law, you may be asked to:
- Provide legal expertise and support to the rest of the Board and senior staff to ensure the charity complies with its duties and obligations.
- Ensure there are robust policies and procedures in place for legal and regulatory compliance.
- Liaise with senior staff on ad hoc legal matters to provide support and advice.
- Advise on legal implications of any plans or strategies to aid good decision making at Board level.
Trustees are appointed for an initial term of three years.
What are we looking for?
Your experience will ideally have been gained as a qualified lawyer (in any field, but those with knowledge and experience in employment law, company or charity law preferred).
Good networks within the Bristol area would be advantageous. You will be knowledgeable about the legal environment that charities operate in, including governance best practice, and be comfortable working at Board level, contributing to discussion and enhancing decision-making.
Ability to work at a strategic level is essential.

More broadly, as a trustee, you'll play an important role in ensuring Step Together is sustainable, well run and has a clear, strategic direction so that it continues it's brilliant work, supporting people who are otherwise left behind.
