You don’t need years of board experience — you need passion, commitment, and the drive to help a start‑up charity grow fast. If you have an entrepreneurial, go getting spirit, then you would be perfect.

WE ALSO NEED SKILLED, CREATIVE, COMMUNITY‑DRIVEN PEOPLE WHO CAN HELP US LAUNCH

If you’ve got experience in any of these areas, we need you right now:

• Fundraising & Grant Writing — help us secure the fuel that powers our mission.

• Creative Industries — designers, filmmakers, musicians, digital creators, storytellers.

• Community Connectors — people who know the streets, the networks, the culture, the people.

If you can bring energy, ideas, or influence, you’ll fit right in.

WHO YOU ARE

You’re excited by the idea of building something new. You’re motivated by purpose, not titles. You believe young people deserve spaces where they’re respected, supported, and inspired. You want to be part of a movement that’s vibrant, real, and rooted in community.

WHY JOIN URBAN YOUTH NOW?

Because this is the moment everything begins.

You won’t just join a charity, you’ll help create it. You’ll shape our direction, our culture, our impact, and the way we show up for young people. You’ll be part of a team that’s bold, creative, and unafraid to do youth work differently.

This is your chance to leave a legacy.

READY TO HELP US LAUNCH?

If you’re feeling that spark, that “I want to help build this” energy, then we want to hear from you.

Let’s build something unforgettable for the next generation.

Bangor Humanists bring non-religious people together to be happier and more fulfilled and to be a force for good in our community.

We are a Local Group of Humanists UK. All Humanists UK members and supporters in the local area are automatically part of the group. In case you are not familiar with humanism, it is a world view held by a large number of people who are not religious. Humanists base their understanding of the world on scientific evidence and reason, and centre their values on kindness and respect. If you would like to know more about humanism, please visit the Humanists UK website.

Bangor Humanists aim to provide a range of activities for non-religious people living in and around Bangor to meet, socialise, campaign, raise awareness of humanism, participate in local civic life and support each other. The Local Group represents Humanists UK and the local humanist community at public events and in public forums. Bangor Humanists is led by a team of volunteers that organises events and activities throughout the year.

We are seeking a dedicated and driven Events Lead to join our Committee, to assist in delivering the activities of Bangor Humanists.

Take a look at the full role description and person specification (.pdf or .docx) to help you decide whether the role is right for you, including what you would get out of the role and what we expect you would bring to the role.

Whatever your background, or prior experiences, if you’re passionate about creating an inclusive, effective humanist community in and around Bangor, we’d love to hear from you.
