Volunteer Trustee

MINDSET Charity

Who We Are

MINDSET Charity is a brand new start-up, volunteer‑run organisation dedicated to transforming men’s lives across England. We will support men on their journeys of mental wellbeing and self‑improvement through workshops, creative programmes, community‑based activities, and online groups.

We are building a movement rooted in resilience, dignity, and brotherhood. As we grow, we are seeking an additional Trustee to join our Board and help guide us through our start‑up journey.

We are especially keen to welcome a woman or someone from an ethnic minority background, to ensure our leadership reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.

The Role of Trustee

As a Volunteer Trustee, you will play a vital role in shaping the direction, culture, and governance of MINDSET Charity. You will:

• Contribute to strategic decision‑making as we build and grow a national movement.

• Support the development of strong governance, ensuring the charity is legally sound and mission‑aligned.

• Bring your perspective, lived experience, and insight to help us serve diverse communities with dignity and relevance.

• Work collaboratively with fellow Trustees — many of whom are first‑time board members — in a supportive, positive environment.

• Champion our mission and help strengthen our credibility, partnerships, and long‑term impact.

• Offer guidance, challenge, and encouragement as we navigate the early stages of building a charity from the ground up.

This is a volunteer role — but your voice, experience, and leadership will help shape the future of a national movement.

Who We’re Looking For

We welcome applications from people who share our passion for men’s mental wellbeing and want to help build something meaningful.

You do not need previous Trustee experience — we value heart, insight, and commitment just as much as governance knowledge.

We are especially encouraging applications from:

• Women

• People from ethnic minority backgrounds

• Individuals who bring perspectives currently underrepresented on our Board

• Those with fundraising/grant writing experience

What matters most is your ability to:

• Think strategically and contribute to meaningful discussions

• Bring your lived experience and insight to our mission

• Work collaboratively and respectfully with a diverse team

• Support a start‑up charity with enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment

• Keep our mission and beneficiaries at the heart of every decision

If you want to help shape a charity at its foundation stage, this role will feel deeply rewarding.

Why Join Us

• Play a key role in shaping a pioneering charity from the ground up.

• Join a supportive Board united by purpose, dignity, and brotherhood.

• Bring your voice and perspective to a movement that values diversity and inclusion.

• See your leadership directly impact men and communities across England.

• Help build a legacy that will last for years to come.

How to Apply

If you’re ready to bring your insight, passion, and leadership to MINDSET Charity — and help guide us through our start‑up journey — we would love to hear from you.

This is more than governance. It’s representation, leadership, and movement‑building. Join us, and help shape the future of MINDSET.

The Children's Book Project is a national charity on a mission to tackle book poverty. We passionately believe that every child should have the opportunity to own a book and have, in the last year, celebrated gifting our 1 millionth book! We are looking for some wonderful volunteers to help us in managing book sorting and packing with a range of amazing corporate volunteers at our three HQs in Birmingham, Leeds and London.

We gift beautiful pre-loved and new books to schools and we gift within prison settings in order to reach children who may not otherwise have access to book ownership.

We are looking for volunteers in Birmingham, Leeds and London able to help us in the running of our book sorting days at each of our three HQs.  Ideally you will be able to commit to 2-3 days per half term.  (We work term-times only).  Our hours are 10am - 2:30pm.

We work with a range of amazing corporate volunteer teams who come to organise, sort and then pack our books in preparation for delivery. These corporate days are always full of energy and fun and we are looking for energetic and passionate people to support these events as Volunteer Coordinators - helping to make sure that there is a warm welcome, a clear plan for the day and that our one-off visitors can contribute productively.

What is required:

• On average, a commitment to 2 days per half term 
• Flexibility to travel to your local HQ for sorting and corporate volunteering days
• A can-do attitude and enjoyment of working as part of a team.

In return, you’ll get to be part of an extraordinary family of volunteers as we make a real and lasting difference to young lives – there is almost an immeasurable benefit to empowering a child to read for pleasure and we believe that no child should be denied access to a book through poverty. We would love your support!
