Help a growing education charity build the funding it needs to develop its programmes and reach more children and young people.

Coempowered is a small education charity creating spaces for philosophical inquiry, critical thinking and meaningful dialogue. We work mainly with children, young people and young adults, including Persian-speaking communities from Afghanistan and Iran, with Kurdish-language provision also developing.

We are at an important stage of our development and are looking for volunteers to help us strengthen our fundraising. This is a varied role that can be shaped around your experience, interests and strengths.

You might contribute to:

• researching trusts, foundations, grant programmes and other potential funding opportunities
• identifying opportunities that fit our programmes, beneficiaries and stage of development
• maintaining a funding pipeline and application calendar
• researching funders and understanding their priorities and requirements
• preparing and writing grant applications and expressions of interest
• adapting applications to different funders and criteria
• developing our case for support and other core fundraising materials
• gathering programme, impact, budget and organisational information needed for applications
• helping develop programme and project funding proposals
• keeping accurate records of applications, deadlines, outcomes and follow-ups
• supporting donor and partnership research
• contributing to fundraising planning and reviewing what is working
• helping us develop a practical longer-term fundraising strategy.

Different levels of experience are welcome

You do not need to be experienced in every aspect of fundraising.

If you have substantial fundraising experience, there is scope to take greater responsibility for developing our fundraising strategy, identifying priorities, improving our approach and supporting other fundraising volunteers.

If you are earlier in your fundraising career, or have strong transferable skills in research, writing, communications, project development or similar work, we can agree a more focused area of responsibility and support you to develop your experience.

We would rather build a good team around complementary strengths than expect one volunteer to do everything.

Who we’re looking for

Depending on the area you work on, useful skills and experience could include:

• fundraising or grant fundraising
• bid or proposal writing
• research and information gathering
• strong written communication
• project or programme development
• strategic planning
• donor or partnership research
• maintaining organised records and pipelines
• charity, education or community-sector experience.

Most importantly, we are looking for people who are reliable, thoughtful and able to produce careful, high-quality work. You should be able to work independently, communicate clearly and follow through on agreed responsibilities.

For roles involving substantial responsibility for fundraising strategy or major applications, relevant fundraising experience will be important.

Why your contribution matters

Fundraising is central to Coempowered’s next stage of development.

We have developed our educational work largely through volunteer effort. Building a stronger and more sustainable funding base will allow us to improve our programmes, support and train facilitators, strengthen our organisational capacity and reach more participants without compromising the quality of our educational work.

Your contribution could help us identify opportunities we would otherwise miss, submit stronger applications and build the systems and evidence needed to develop longer-term relationships with funders and supporters.

For an experienced fundraiser, there is also an opportunity to have a significant influence on how a developing charity approaches fundraising from the beginning.

Practical details

The role is fully remote and can be carried out from anywhere with reliable internet access.

Working hours are flexible and can be agreed according to your availability and area of responsibility. We ask volunteers to maintain regular communication, attend agreed online meetings where relevant and give reasonable notice if their availability changes.

We are particularly interested in volunteers who can contribute consistently over time, although we may also consider applicants with specialist fundraising expertise who can support a defined project or piece of work.

We’re looking for a reliable and organised volunteer to become a key part of Coempowered as we grow, helping us coordinate our people, programmes and day-to-day work.

Coempowered is a small education charity creating spaces for philosophical inquiry, critical thinking and meaningful dialogue. We work mainly with children, young people and young adults, including Persian-speaking communities from Afghanistan and Iran, with Kurdish-language provision also developing.

As our programmes and volunteer team grow, we need someone who can help connect the different parts of the organisation and make sure plans turn into action. You will work closely with the Executive Lead and gradually take greater ownership of day-to-day coordination.

What you’ll do

  You will help:

• coordinate volunteers across education, communications, fundraising, programme administration and other areas
• keep track of agreed actions, priorities and deadlines, and follow up where needed
• organise volunteer onboarding, meetings, check-ins and activity reporting
• support the coordination of educational programmes and organisational projects
• maintain simple trackers, calendars and shared records
• help information move effectively between different people and areas of work
• identify delays, gaps and practical problems early
• prepare short progress updates and keep outstanding actions visible
• improve simple coordination processes as the organisation develops.

You will start with clear, manageable responsibilities and learn how Coempowered works. As your knowledge and confidence develop, there will be scope to take greater ownership and help shape our coordination systems.

Who we’re looking for

Reliability is the most important quality. We need someone who follows through on commitments, communicates clearly and is comfortable politely chasing people when necessary.

You should be:

• organised and able to manage several priorities
• a clear and respectful communicator
• comfortable working independently and taking initiative
• able to recognise when something needs to be raised or discussed
• confident using shared documents, spreadsheets, calendars and online tools
• collaborative and comfortable working with people from different backgrounds
• committed to confidentiality, safeguarding and responsible handling of information.

Experience in project coordination, operations, administration, volunteer management, charities, education or community organisations would be useful, but we are equally interested in strong transferable skills.

Why the role matters

Much of our coordination currently depends on a small number of people who are also responsible for developing and delivering our educational work. Your contribution will help change that.

By keeping volunteers connected and activities on track, you will free our educational team to spend more time on teaching, programme development and supporting participants. You will also help us build more reliable ways of working as Coempowered develops.

Ultimately, better coordination means we can provide more consistent, sustained and high-quality educational opportunities to the communities we work with.

Practical details

The role is fully remote and can be carried out from anywhere with reliable internet access. We anticipate around 5–7 hours per week, arranged flexibly around your availability. Regular communication and attendance at agreed online meetings will be important.

We are looking for someone interested in contributing consistently over time and developing with the organisation, rather than completing a short one-off project.
