Could your financial expertise help transform lives across Southampton and the South?
For over 30 years, SCiA Group has been a vital force for good in our communities, delivering a range of health and wellbeing services to individuals across the South Hampshire area. We're a not-for-profit group of social enterprises, and every penny we generate goes straight back into the people we serve.
We bring together specialist organisations united by a single mission: helping people live their best lives. Across Southampton and South Hampshire, we support hundreds of individuals every week — delivering homecare, supported living, accessible community transport, and accessible holiday accommodation. Our reach is wide, our impact is deeply personal, and our services enhance lives
As we continue to grow and deepen our impact, we're looking for an exceptional individual to join our Board as Treasurer, a pivotal leadership role that will help ensure our financial foundations are as strong as the communities we champion.
The Role
As Board Treasurer, you will be a trusted financial guardian and strategic voice at the heart of SCiA Group's governance. Working closely with the Chair, CEO, and fellow Trustees, you will help steer an organisation that makes a genuine, daily difference to hundreds of people's lives.

▸ Oversee the preparation and presentation of annual accounts and statutory financial reporting, working alongside the executive finance team
▸ Work with auditors and ensure robust financial controls are in place across the Group
▸ Chair or support the Finance Committee, and report its activity and recommendations to the full Board
Who We're Looking For
Previous trustee experience is not essential, however an understanding of charity governance would be beneficial.
You will bring:
▸ ACA, ACCA, CIMA or equivalent senior financial management experience
▸ The ability to communicate financial information clearly to non-finance colleagues and stakeholders
▸ Strategic thinking with an eye for risk and opportunity
▸ Integrity, independence and sound judgement
▸ A genuine commitment to SCiA Group's mission of community-based care and wellbeing

Waweza Social Enterprise links coastal women producers to fair markets and reinvests profits into the next generation of agri-preneurs to build a resilient, food-secure future.
In coastal Kenya, youth make up over 75% of the population, yet fewer than 10% are engaged in agribusiness due to systemic barriers like lack of training and resources. At the same time, recurring droughts and limited market access have left 85% of local women living below the poverty line. These women, who are the backbone of food production, face immense challenges in scaling their micro-businesses and protecting their families from environmental shocks.
Waweza addresses this through the Youth and Women Economic Lab (YOUWEL) project. We bridge the gap by purchasing products—such as goats and hand-woven baskets—directly from women at fair prices and reselling them in high-demand urban centers. Instead of extracting profits, we reinvest them into mentorship, coaching, and climate-smart agribusiness training for local youth. This integrated approach creates a self-sustaining cycle where women gain economic independence, youth build viable careers in agriculture, and communities develop the long-term resilience needed to overcome poverty.
Role Description:
- Support the enterprise in identifying potential funding opportunities
- Assist in drafting, editing, and formatting funding proposals
- Work closely with the organization Founder to ensure proposals reflect community needs and organizational priorities.
- Share knowledge and skills with Waweza team members to improve future proposal writing and fundraising efforts.
Minimum Hours per Week:
2-3 hours per week
Duration:
3-5 months
We connect professionals with impact startups matching their causes, skills & schedule.

We’re in the exciting early stages of building something bold, vibrant, and community‑powered — and we’re looking for a Graphic Designer (Volunteer) who can help bring REMIX’s visual identity to life and put us firmly on the map.
The Role
We are seeking a creative, energetic, and impact‑driven Graphic Designer (Volunteer) to help shape REMIX’s visual presence across digital and print. This is a brilliant opportunity for someone who loves designing for purpose, enjoys youth‑focused branding, and wants to help build the look and feel of a movement from the ground up.
You will work closely with the Founder and wider team, to create bold, exciting, and culturally relevant designs that amplify REMIX’s voice across London.
Time commitment: FLEXIBLE & REMOTE, including:
-
Design briefs and creative sessions

Digital and print asset creation
-
Occasional collaboration with leadership and volunteers
Key Responsibilities
As Graphic Designer (Volunteer), you will:

We’re looking for someone who is:
-
Passionate about social mobility, youth empowerment, and fairness.
-
Creative, bold, and excited by designing for a youth‑led movement.

Confident using design tools (e.g., Canva, Adobe Suite, Figma — whatever you prefer).
-
Able to work collaboratively but also independently on briefs.
-
Organised, reliable, and committed to our mission.
-
Compassionate, emotionally intelligent, and community‑minded.
Experience with branding, social media design, or campaign visuals is beneficial — but not essential if you bring strong creative instincts and a willingness to learn.

About The Role
By caring for amphibians and supporting the Toad Hall exhibit, this role plays a vital part in conservation education and biodiversity protection. Volunteers help raise awareness of wetland species and the threats they face by engaging the public through interactive presentations, inspiring visitors to value and support wetland conservation.
What will you be doing:
- General animal husbandry such as feeding, water changes, and exhibit maintenance.
- Data recording for life support systems.
- General maintenance of public and back of house areas
- Helping with new projects and stock management.
- Conducting interactive presentations to engage the general public in the work of WWT, the amphibians in the Toad Hall exhibit, and wider conservation messages (training provided)
- Research and observations recording
- Adhering to all bio-security and hygiene protocols across the Living Collections
Volunteers are an essential part of the WWT team. You’ll get a warm welcome, including information on training, equipment and anything else you need. We are particularly looking for volunteers to support us on Saturdays.
Just to let you know, some of our roles are very popular. To help our teams and minimise disappointment for people kind enough to want to support us, we might take roles down before the closing date if we get a lot of applications. To avoid disappointment, please apply as soon as possible and include as much detail as possible in your application. If you do miss a role, or are looking for something particular, you can sign up to opportunity alerts.
If you are interested in volunteering for WWT but don’t wish to apply online, please email, us or give us a call and leave a message with your name and number.
About You
Who are we looking for?
There are two parts to this role: assisting with daily animal management duties in the Living Collections department and engaging our visitors on the amphibians and the work of Living Collection. Both aspects are equally important, and so we are looking for volunteers with the following:
- Basic animal husbandry knowledge, with a particular interest in amphibians would be advantageous
- Excellent customer service skills; confidence and enthusiasm when engaging the public
- Good physical health – this role will involve some manual handling
- Good attention to detail and able to follow instructions
- The ability to work on your own initiative under the direction of the Ectotherm team, following strict animal care protocols.
The role would be enjoyable for those who love working closely with animals, educating others, and gaining hands-on experience in an internationally important wetland site. This role is particularly for those that are able to volunteer with us on Saturday as we are keen to boost our team on that day, other days may be available through other advertised roles.
Please note that this role is not suitable for those under the age of 18.
About Us
We’re WWT, and we’re on a mission to restore the super-powered ecosystems we call wetlands. There’s never been a more important moment for our work, and we’ve got some phenomenal people on the case.
Whether they’re taking a new visitor under their wing, or conducting ground-breaking research further afield, our team are second to none. And there’s nothing we love more than watching them soar.
Whatever you do here, you’ll be helping to restore wetlands and unlock their power. So, the only question left is, what role will you play?
Why you’ll love volunteering at WWT
- Feel good knowing you are helping to restore wetlands, and our world
- Be surrounded and inspired by like-minded wetland lovers
- Hear from the people who inject their energy, passion and expertise into wetlands and wildlife – talks, walks, webinars, tea and cake…
- Free entry to all our wetland centres, including your family
- Volunteer discount on shopping and memberships
- Access to webinars and practical information to help you manage daily life
Ideally, we are looking for a commitment of at least one day a week for a minimum of 3 months but can be flexible dependent on the volunteer’s needs.

We look forward to hearing from you!
