Join Bright Futures Ten Thousand Futures Campaign Board and positively change the story for over 10,000 young people disadvantaged through long-term illness, every year.
Location: London/UK Wide
Every morning in the UK, thousands of children wake not to the bustle of a school day, but to the quiet of their bedrooms or hospital wards. For many, long-term illness has turned what should be years of learning, laughter and growth into years of absence and isolation. Bright Futures UK exists to change this story. Founded in 2016 by Josh Pelled, whose own education was shattered by childhood cancer, we are the only UK charity dedicated to helping young people return to education during or after illness.
For every child we support, there are dozens waiting, unseen and unsupported. By 2029, we aim to change that by helping 10,000 children annually – around 3-4% of the national cohort. Our focus will be on those from disadvantaged backgrounds, for whom the barriers are highest and opportunities most limited.
The Campaign
To deliver this vision, we are launching Ten Thousand Futures – a bold strategy for growth at our 10th anniversary. To succeed, we need to raise £4 million over the next four years. We have carefully modelled this planned growth. The investment will expand our network of skilled volunteers to meet demand, grow tutoring, mentoring and befriending into a national programme, strengthen our long-term impact measurement, and secure sustainable growth so that every child who needs us can access our personalised support.
Join our Campaign Board
Bright Futures stand at a pivotal moment. The need has never been greater, and the opportunity to make a generational difference has never been clearer.
The Campaign Board will be a group of philanthropically minded and well-connected individuals who, with the support of the professional team, help to raise the lion’s share of income for the campaign through their networks. The Board will ensure that no child facing illness is left behind. Together, we can build ten thousand brighter futures every year and give young people back their education, their confidence, and their future.
Josh Pelled will work closely with the Campaign Board, which will also be supported by the Charity’s Board of Directors.
From tutoring and mentoring to befriending and in-hospital workshops, the programmes are designed to meet each young person’s unique needs with care, flexibility and understanding.
Every day, you will work alongside a passionate team, incredible volunteers and inspiring young people. Together, you can prove that illness should never define a future – and that every young person deserves the chance to learn, thrive and reach their potential.

Could you be the new Chair of CPRE Buckinghamshire (one of the branches of CPRE – the Countryside Charity)? Do you care about your local community and environment?
We have a long and successful history of campaigning on items that matter to the local area – canvassing, prompting and lobbying local authorities, Councillors and MPs. In doing so, we have been able to ensure that the views of the people who depend on, work on and cherish the Buckinghamshire countryside are reflected in local decision-making.
The Chair role will suit someone living in Buckinghamshire or the Milton Keynes area, who has a keen interest in the countryside and is excited by the prospect of helping to direct the future of CPRE Buckinghamshire over the next 5–7 years. It is an exciting time to join our team, as CPRE nationally is celebrating 100 years in 2026; you can be involved in making plans as to how we will celebrate this with the Buckinghamshire community through various events and activities.
You will help to:
- direct our important campaigns, engaging the local community and raising awareness of the issues that the countryside faces
- lead our Trustee board, and recruit new Trustee members
- increase our membership, so that we can continue to do the work we are doing
- expand our team of volunteers, so that we can widen and increase the work that we do
- liaise with stakeholders and partners, and forge new partnerships
- ensure that we as a charity meet our legal requirements, adhering to our governing document, and have the necessary policies and resources
- nurture and shape the future of CPRE Bucks.
We estimate that the time commitment will be around 1 day a week, although this is variable and dependent on activities. You can of course do more if you wish! Our team works and meets remotely most of the time, but occasional travel may be necessary – to attend CPRE Head Office in London, for example.
This is a volunteer role in which you can really make a difference. We welcome applicants of any age, gender and background.
CPRE Buckinghamshire is an environmental charity dedicated to protecting the countryside.

Help shape a fair, bold solution to the climate crisis. Work with us to turn carbon reduction into real community action.
Our vision is for a world in control of CO2 emissions - a fair social and economic approach that motivates and supports people and organisations to reduce their carbon footprints.
Our ultimate mission is to persuade people, business and government that together, we can take meaningful action using our Carbon Accounts framework. We are already demonstrating how this would work on the ground in local community action groups. We believe this will inspire governments to introduce the same mechanism to reach science-based emission reduction targets on a national basis.
What will you be doing?
We are a small, new charity with massive scope to make a difference in shifting the narrative on climate change where other organisations have failed. We are currently almost completely volunteer-led, with the exception of a freelance fundraiser. We would like to build up our trustee board and include trustees who are keen to drive us forward through their active involvement.
Our goal for the next 12 months is:
· to continue building our local group of activists who watch their carbon and ecological footprints
· to create a carbon labelling campaign, a carbon trading group, a carbon footprint and Carbon Accounts app
· to foster recognition from local businesses and government
· to create a blueprint which can be adopted in other locations
We want to spread the movement far and wide, to promote public, business, academic and political acceptance of carbon budgets, carbon trading and our Carbon Accounts approach by demonstrating how and why it works, and running communications and fundraising campaigns.
There are many practical activities you could also help with beyond trustee responsibilities, not in any order, for example workshop facilitation, managing volunteers, fundraising, carbon emissions data and spreadsheets, writing or journalism on sustainability, social media, photography or videography.... Skills and experience in any will be helpful.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone to jump right in with our small and dynamic team to provide guidance, energy and insight to help us develop. We’re looking for someone who has some experience with:
· charity governance
· policy creation and management
· strategy development combining marketing, fundraising, volunteer management and finance & business planning
· you’ll need an awareness of the serious nature of the crisis and the need for radical action by governments, i.e. a strong desire to see society make an urgent response to climate change
· ability to work online, in person, in different environments with different types of people
· consistency and good communication
· co-operation, exchange of ideas, flexibility
· ability to put ideas across clearly while seeking first to understand others
· free on Monday evenings for our in-person meetings (not mandatory)
Duration
Our trustee positions run for 3 years after which the person may seek re-election
Location
We are keen on everyone being local, coming to in-person meetings and leveraging their local knowledge and connections, to keep group dynamics strong and foster motivation and commitment. We cover the London boroughs of Hackney, Islington, Camden, Haringey and Westminster.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
