Regenerate’s Board of Trustee’s is looking to recruit two Trustees to support the organisation in an exciting new period of growth and development.

Regenerate – Creating opportunities for young people thrive.

Regenerate inspires and supports young people by building strong, lasting relationships and creating life changing opportunities; helping them grow in confidence, make the best of their lives and impact the world for good.

Regenerate is a youth charity established to work with young people who live on housing estates in Roehampton and Putney and surrounding areas.

About our trustees

The Board of Trustees is the governing body of Regenerate responsible for the overall management of the charity. All our trustees are volunteers and we rely on them to help run the charity effectively.

The trustees provide us with the great skills, knowledge and experience we need to manage the charity well. Any single trustee does not need to know how to do everything, but our board is made up of people who can bring something different to complement each other in order to serve the young people Regenerate works with to the best of their ability.

We want our board to fully represent the communities that we serve. We recognise that we are currently missing vital voices from our board and so we are now searching for talented individuals to join our team.

If you think you have the skills to help us, and if you consider yourself to be one or more of the following we’d love to hear from you!

1. From the local area and have knowledge about young people
2. A professional with a background in youth service provision

Regenerate is an equal opportunities employer, recognising the positive value of diversity, promoting equality and challenging discrimination. We would welcome and encourage job applications from people of all ethnicities, backgrounds, ages and from underrepresented and minority groups.

At-Home Media and Public Relations Volunteer

Half of The International Humanity Foundation’s (IHF) mission is to educate the poor and the other half is to educate the world about the poor. We strive for a world of leaders and citizens who have interacted with, and are truly knowledgeable about the world's poor. We believe in a "pass it on" philosophy where education is free and available for all who seek it. Those of us who have received a free education pass it on by helping others less fortunate by teaching, interacting and learning. With just a few hours a week, our volunteers, children and sponsors are changing the world we live in. IHF is a non-religious, non-political, non-profit organization that strongly believes in an equal opportunity for all and in preserving the cultures, traditions and beliefs of the marginalized communities it works in.

IHF is currently seeking At-Home Volunteers for our International Media and Public Relations Team. The role includes reaching out to a global network of individuals and organisations. This position provides global training and global connections from your home, at your convenience. Our At-Home Volunteers come from around the world and form online teams essential to our Children’s Homes and Community Centers. 

Volunteering in this division provides a great opportunity to further your understanding of the fascinating world of international non-profit media and public relations, boost your CV, and enhance social media and public relations skills utilising a multitude of mediums.

Please note this is a volunteering position. 

For more information and to apply, visit our website and provide your CV. Our team will get in contact with you within 24 hours. 

We are looking for a Team Fletcher Marketing Hero. This superhero will join Fletcher’s Fund on a trustee basis to help us grow our brand, increase our revenue, create marketing plans for projects and fundraising events
and identify opportunities for us to share our unique, inspiring, uplifting story. We have the story, we need someone amazing to tell it!

This person will work closely with the trustees, to work collaboratively on areas for marketing / PR, whilst keeping track of income generated off the back of campaigns and adhering to our tight budgets.

In order to achieve our ambitious aims, we now need to grow our exposure, reach more people to gain more support and generate more income. This will then allow us to reach more paediatric oncology units and help more families with children with cancer, and launch new projects.

We have identified areas we need to work on, and these include

• Marketing
• Media and PR Plan
• Social media plan
• Database of followers
• Quarterly Newsletters
• Blogs
• Opportunities to speak / showcase
• Networking and conferencing
• Projects
• Project marketing / PR as required

You must be line with our charitable ethos of
• Being sustainable and cost effective
• working collaboratively with other organisations (private, public and third sector) to make a real, long lasting
difference to children with cancer.
• honesty, integrity, and being accountable to our service users and supporters.
• power of art and play therapy, and want to encourage the child with cancer, and their siblings, to be a child
despite their treatments.
• a commitment to working towards the goal of improving the experience of the child with cancer (through making memories and having fun), and the wider family (through supporting their wellbeing and mental health).
… and be ambitious enough to help us reach our Mission and our Vision:
Our Mission Statement: Our mission is to help 10,000 children with cancer to make memories, play and have fun. This is Fletcher's legacy, and it is our hope that we can give to other families a little bit of the joy that Fletcher gave to us.
Our Vision: Fletcher’s Fund aims to reach as many children with cancer and their families as possible, to help provide some relief of the financial burden from them and to enable them to make precious memories. We also aim to explore ways we can improve and provide assistance to the well-being and mental health of the whole family, including siblings, and those families that have being bereaved. We also envisage a time when we are actively assisting the play teams in all 19 Paediatric Oncology units in Great Britain.

This is an exciting time for Fletcher’s Fund. We are on the brink of a period of substantial growth, and this would be a wonderful opportunity for a new trustee to join our small team to make a genuine difference and succeed.

Please note that due to our small size, a trustee will be required to dedicate an agreed number of hours a week or month to ensure that our workload is met and we can achieve our goals of growth and sustainability.

Informal interviews will take place on Zoom at a time to be mutually agreed.
For clarity, this is an unpaid, voluntary trustee position within a charitable incorporated organisation, registered in England and Wales with the charity commission, and Scotland with OSCR.
