About Well Adapt

Well Adapt is a disabled led social enterprise that aims to transform the health system so that it better serves disabled and chronically ill people. 

Disabled and chronically ill people face disproportionate inequalities in healthcare with many of us feeling completely disillusioned with and abandoned by the system that is supposed to support us. The inequality gets worse for those of us with intersecting marginalisations such as race, gender, class, and sexuality.

Well Adapt works with policymakers, healthcare providers, and communities to build health and social care systems co-produced by disabled and chronically ill people and grounded in disability justice.

We are in the process of changing our governance structure from Company Limited by Shares to Community Interest Company.

We are forming our first ever advisory board to help us chart our course forward so that we can make a greater impact on healthcare policy.

Seeking a Chair/Co-Chair and a Treasurer

Are you passionate about helping children develop a love of reading? 

We are looking for a Chair/Co-Chair and a Treasurer with Board level experience to support our small but mighty charity to bring the joy of reading to primary school children across the country.

Location: Online Salary: Voluntary with reasonable expenses reimbursed

Deadline for applications: 30th September 2026

About Us:

The Children’s Bookshow is a national charity that inspires children with a love of books and reading through an annual programme of inspiring theatre and digital performances and engaging creative workshops. We showcase some of the best authors and illustrators of children’s books from around the world, and celebrate children’s literature in translation. 

We are an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation that has been running successfully for 24 years. Each year, we deliver 15 events in venues ranging from iconic theatres such as The Old Vic in London to community spaces and smaller scale theatres such as the New Wolsey in Ipswich, plus a programme of 60 creative workshops in primary schools. We target areas of high socio-economic deprivation, support environmental sustainability, and partner with local authorities, libraries and education providers. Every child who attends our theatre performances receives a free copy of the author’s book to take home and keep. This is integral to our offer - putting excellent books directly into the hands of children.

“Having Frank Cottrell-Boyce in for a free workshop really did make such a difference to our school and to our children. Frank was able to inspire every single child to write, no matter their need or ability, and children who would normally be reluctant to share their ideas in front of the class were confident to do so. Every single one of them went home talking non-stop about the amazing author they had met - with many now inspired to become authors. I can't put into words how grateful we are or how much of an impact those couple of hours have had on both the children and staff.”  Teacher,Winyates Primary, Peterborough

The opportunities:

If you have the expertise and passion to support our work and help us to deliver the impact and change experienced by Winyates Primary, then we would love to hear from you!

VOLUNTEER GRAPHIC DESIGNER (MINDSET Charity) - REMOTE 

Help Us Launch a Movement This November

MINDSET is a bold new preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London — and we’re launching this November. We’re building a modern, high‑energy, stigma‑free space where men learn the habits, systems, and psychological tools to stay strong long before crisis hits.

To bring this mission to life, we need a creative powerhouse — a Graphic Designer who can help us shape the visual identity of a charity built to feel more like a fitness brand than a traditional organisation.

If you want your work to matter, to inspire, and to change lives, this is your moment.

THE ROLE: GRAPHIC DESIGNER (Volunteer)

We’re looking for a designer who can help us create a suite of high‑impact visuals that will define our launch. You’ll be part of a small, passionate team building something genuinely needed in London.

You’ll help us design:

• Roller Banners for school programmes and community events.

• Merchandise (t‑shirts, hoodies, wristbands, stickers).

• Launch Graphics for November 2026.

• Social Media Assets that feel modern, bold, and motivational.

• Printed Materials (flyers, posters, guides and booklets).

• Digital Templates for our 12‑week mental fitness programme.

• Brand Elements that strengthen our identity and message.

Your work will be seen by schools, partners, funders, teenage boys, and men across London — and will directly support our mission to prevent silent suffering and build stronger futures.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

You don’t need decades of experience. You don’t need agency credentials. You just need skill, passion, and a desire to build something meaningful.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Loves creating clean, modern, bold designs.

• Can work with brand guidelines (or help us refine them).

• Enjoys fast‑paced, start‑up style collaboration.

• Wants their work to have real social impact.

• Can commit a few hours a week between now and November.

• Is excited by the idea of shaping a charity’s visual identity from day one.

If you’re the kind of designer who gets fired up by purpose‑driven projects, you’ll fit right in.

WHY JOIN MINDSET?

1. Because your designs will change lives.

Every banner, every graphic, every piece of merchandise helps us reach boys and men who desperately need preventative support.

2. Because we operate like a modern brand.

Think Gymshark, Huel, or MyProtein — clean lines, bold messaging, high energy. Not clinical. Not corporate. Not outdated.

3. Because you’ll be part of a founding team.

Your creativity will help define how MINDSET looks, feels, and communicates for years to come.

4. Because this is meaningful work.

We’re building a movement that exists to stop preventable tragedies. Your designs will help us reach the men who need us most.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

• A chance to build a full brand suite for a new charity.

• Portfolio‑ready work with real‑world impact.

• A supportive, energetic team who value creativity.

• Flexible volunteering you can fit around your life.

• The satisfaction of knowing your work is helping save lives.

BUILD SOMETHING THAT CHANGES MEN’S LIVES IN LONDON

MINDSET Charity

Trustee Recruitment (Volunteer Roles)

Chair • Treasurer • Fundraising Trustee • Safeguarding Lead • Strategy & Development Trustees

WE’RE NOT LOOKING FOR TRADITIONAL TRUSTEES. WE’RE LOOKING FOR BUILDERS.

MINDSET is a bold, preventative mental fitness charity for teenage boys and men in London. We don’t do clinical therapy. We don’t sit on couches. We build systems, habits, and psychological tools that help men stay strong long before crisis hits.

We exist because too many good men have been breaking in silence. Our founder lived that reality — losing his father and close friends to battles they were never given the tools to fight. Their stories became our mission: no more preventable exits. No more silent suffering. No more men fighting alone.

Now we’re building a movement. A training ground. A new standard for male mental fitness.

And to launch this charity with strength, focus, and integrity, we need a small, high‑energy, high‑impact Trustee Board who can help us build MINDSET from the ground up.

THE ROLES WE’RE RECRUITING

1. Chair of Trustees

A steady, strategic leader who can guide our early direction, keep us aligned with our mission, and help us build a strong, safe, compliant organisation. You’ll be the anchor of our governance and the champion of our preventative mental fitness vision.

2. Treasurer

A numbers‑driven, detail‑focused trustee with UK accounting experience who can help us build lean, efficient financial systems. You’ll ensure our budgets, reporting, and financial planning are rock‑solid as we grow.

3. Fundraising & Grants Trustee

A proactive connector who can open doors, build partnerships, and secure funding. You’ll lead our grants strategy, donor relationships, and fundraising campaigns to fuel our 12‑week programmes. You'll also lead our board in fundraising areas and matters.

4. Safeguarding Lead Trustee

A calm, experienced safeguarding professional who ensures our boys and men are protected at every step. You’ll help us build safe systems, strong policies, and a culture of responsibility. You'll also lead our board in safeguarding areas and matters.

Additional Trustees (Various Specialisms)

We’re also seeking trustees with experience in:

• Strategy & organisational development

• Mental health, wellbeing, coaching or personal development

• Monitoring, evaluation & impact measurement

• Youth work or education

• Digital operations & community building

• Start‑up charities or early‑stage organisations

If you bring clarity, energy, and a passion for helping men and boys build stronger futures, we want you on our team.

WHY JOIN MINDSET?

1. Because this isn’t a passive board role — it’s a founding mission.

You’ll help shape the charity’s identity, culture, and long‑term direction.

2. Because our model is modern, lean, and high‑impact.

We operate like a fitness brand, not a slow-moving charity. Fast execution. Clean systems. High energy.

3. Because every decision you make will change real lives.

Every metric we track represents a boy, a father, a mate — staying in the game.

4. Because we’re building something West London genuinely needs.

A stigma‑free, practical, preventative space where men and boys learn to build habits, not hide feelings.

WHAT WE ASK OF YOU

• Attend in‑person meetings in London (especially early on for Charity Commission documents).

• Bring your skills, your ideas, your networks, and your leadership.

• Help us build strong governance, safe systems, and a scalable model.

• Champion our mission and represent MINDSET with passion, including helping us spread our social media presence by liking and sharing our posts.

• Commit to a role that genuinely matters.

Roll Models CIC is a community for women and marginalised genders, built around the belief that getting outside, riding bikes and doing adventurous things together can change how we see ourselves and what we think we’re capable of.

We create welcoming pathways into cycling and outdoor adventure through mentorship, skills-sharing, and community events. Our aim is to reduce barriers to participation and help more women, trans and non-binary people build confidence, skills, independence and lasting connections through cycling and time outdoors.

In just two years, Roll Models has grown from a pilot mentorship programme of 25 participants in 2025, to a mentorship cohort twice the size with a wider community of over 100 people attending events and workshops in 2026, with demand exceeding our current capacity. We are now at an exciting point in our development: the model is working, the community is growing, and we want to build the organisational foundations to support that growth sustainably.

We are looking to convene a voluntary Steering Group to help shape the strategic direction of our fledgling organisation, with a view to formalising a Board in Spring 2027 (there will also be opportunity to continue in a supporting role, without joining the Board).

Steering Group roles

Strategy and Governance - Filled

Roll Models has grown significantly in a short space of time, led by one paid member of staff with volunteer support. With demand for the programme limited by our current capacity, we are looking for someone to work alongside the Director as a mentor and sounding board, to focus on shaping the long-term strategic direction of the organisation.

Fundraising

There are many opportunities to grow the programme, and various funding pots we would like to apply for to activate this. We are looking for a savvy fundraiser to help us with fundraising strategy, identifying relevant opportunities, and supporting application processes.

You would support:

• Developing a fundraising strategy

• Identifying relevant funding opportunities

• Feeding into and checking over applications 

• Working with other members (ie Communications & Marketing) to shape how we tell the story for funders

Mentorship programme (2 roles)

We are looking for an experienced community leader and cyclist who is passionate about creating safe and welcoming spaces for women, trans and non-binary people in the outdoors. You will support the strategic development and running of Roll Models' core mentorship programme, working closely with the Director on the systems and structures that will allow it to grow sustainably. This is a vital role that bridges community-building, participant experience, logistics and operations.

You would support:

• Developing policies and procedures to support the running of the mentorship programme

• Planning and delivering recruitment for the 2027 cohort, including reviewing and improving the participant application and matching process

• Supporting safeguarding, inclusion and participant wellbeing processes

• Shaping the strategic direction and future development of the mentorship programme, including thinking about how the programme can support more people without losing its community-led character

Workshops and programming

Roll Models runs regular programming and skills sessions relating to cycling and outdoor adventure, including bike mechanics, navigation, kit choices, trip planning and other practical skills. We are looking for someone who can help us think strategically about how this strand of Roll Models' work develops, in particular, accessing funding to open the workshops up beyond the current cohort. This role would help Roll Models move from delivering individual workshops towards a coherent, sustainable skills programme.

You would support:

• Developing a strategic programme of skills workshops for the next 6-12 months

• Identifying skills gaps and opportunities within the community

• Supporting funding bids to resource the workshop programme

• Developing outreach and partnerships to reach people who may not already participate in cycling or outdoor recreation

• Supporting the development of inclusive and accessible workshop formats

Communications & Marketing

Roll Models has grown organically and is increasingly attracting attention from the cycling and outdoor industries. We now want to be more strategic about how we communicate what we do and use our growing profile to create opportunities for the organisation and its community. We are looking for someone with experience in communications, marketing, storytelling or partnerships who can help us think bigger about Roll Models' position and reach.

You would support:

• Developing Roll Models' strategic positioning and profile by shaping a communications and storytelling strategy

• Developing content and storytelling approaches for funders and potential partners

• Developing relationships with industry and community partners

• Helping Roll Models communicate its impact beyond being "just" a cycling club

• Identifying opportunities for media, speaking, events, festivals and other platforms that can raise the profile of Roll Models and the wider issues we work on

This is an opportunity to help shape how Roll Models is understood and positioned as it grows.

Finance and sustainability

Roll Models has begun generating income through its mentorship programme and events, alongside grant funding and industry support. As we grow, we want to develop a stronger understanding of our finances and build a model that can sustain the organisation beyond short-term grant funding. We are looking for someone with experience in financial planning, budgeting, business development, social enterprise or organisational sustainability.

You would support:

• Financial planning and strategy

• Developing realistic budgets and financial forecasts

• Thinking strategically about income generation and pricing, and subsidising low-cost participation

• Helping develop appropriate financial policies and processes

• Working with the Director to understand when and how Roll Models can invest in capacity and paid roles
