Role Title: Innovation & Impact Volunteer
Salary: Volunteer
Location: London -hybrid
Tenure: 6 month fixed term
ActionAid UK is a member of the ActionAid Federation, an international charity that works with women and girls living in poverty. We work with our partners and dedicated staff in 43 countries to end violence and fight poverty so that all women, everywhere, can create the future they want
Are you a keen advocate of women and girls’ rights in emergencies?
Are you passionate about global justice, liberation movements and reparations?
Do you want to be part of an international effort that challenges systems of inequality and re-imagines a fairer world?
Then we'd love to hear from you!
ActionAid UK is offering a unique six-month volunteer opportunity within our Innovation & Impact Department to help bring to life a powerful series of federation-wide webinars exploring liberation and reparations across movements and geographies.
You’ll work within ActionAid’s Decol Unit, supporting our global secretariat to design and deliver this ground-breaking webinar series. Together, we’ll build spaces for learning, dialogue and solidarity – connecting thinkers, activists, and ActionAid colleagues from around the world who are confronting the legacies of colonialism, extractivism and patriarchy.
Your days might involve researching inspiring speakers, coordinating logistics with grassroots movements, shaping engaging event materials, or helping make each session come alive online. You’ll play a key role in gathering stories, insights and learnings that will deepen our collective understanding of what true liberation and reparations can look like – and how ActionAid can stand shoulder-to-shoulder with others driving this change.
We’re looking for someone with a keen interest in decolonial and feminist thought, ideally with some experience of organising or supporting online events. You’ll be comfortable communicating across cultures, excited to collaborate, and motivated by ActionAid’s commitment to equality, diversity, inclusion and feminist leadership. Fluency in an additional language would be an advantage.
This is a volunteer role of around two days a week, mostly home-based, with occasional in-person meetings in our Farringdon, London office. It’s a rare chance to contribute to a global project at the heart of ActionAid’s mission to challenge systemic injustice and to connect with networks of activists, thinkers and changemakers across the world.
If you’re ready to put your passion for liberation, reparations and system change into action, we’d love to hear from you.

Pets As Therapy is a national charity with a simple but powerful mission: to share the joy of pets with people who need it most. We support more than 4,500 volunteer teams across the UK. Together, they bring comfort, connection and companionship to tens of thousands of people every year.
We are looking for three new trustees to help guide our strategy, strengthen our governance and ensure that we remain true to our purpose of spreading joy, comfort and companionship through the magic of pets.
What will you be doing?
Our trustees play a vital role in making sure that PAT achieves its core purpose. They oversee the overall management and administration of the charity. They also ensure that PAT has a clear strategy and that our work and goals are in line with our vision. Just as importantly, they support and challenge the executive team to enable the charity to grow and thrive, and through this, achieve our mission.
Time commitment
- Attend all full Board meetings. The Board meets formally at least four times a year for between a half day and a day, depending on business. Two meetings are in-person and are held in central London. Two are virtual.
- Preparation for meetings – read papers, understand numbers, assimilate arguments.
- All trustees are asked to serve on one or more Board sub committees and working groups. This adds 3-4 shorter meetings a year.
- Trustees may be asked to chair sub committees on a rotating basis.
- At least two visits per year accompanying a PAT volunteer in a different sector and or attending/supporting an event with PAT volunteers.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for people willing to bring energy, enthusiasm and commitment to the role, and who will broaden the diversity of thinking on our Board. We are particularly interested in hearing from individuals with the following skills and experience:
Animal Care and Behaviour - The wellbeing of the companion animals is of upmost importance to us. Someone with experience in veterinary care will help us develop best practice in our own operation and set an example to the sector.
Education - Our volunteers visit over 1,600 schools. Someone with education experience will help us to ensure we deliver the best possible service to children and young people.
Volunteer Management - A key part of our current strategy is improving our volunteer engagement and our volunteer experience. Therefore we’d welcome applications from people with a background in volunteer management and volunteer led organisations.
What difference will you make?
You will bring your own skills and perspectives to help us shape PAT’s next phase of growth. In return, you’ll have the opportunity to be part of a truly unique charity, one that harnesses the bond between people and their pets to transform lives every day.
Before you apply
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting Pets as Therapy with their Trustee recruitment. Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance. To apply please submit your CV/LinkedIn Profile, along with a covering letter stating why you wish to join PAT, the skills and experience you will bring to the Board and what you would hope to get out of the role.

What is a Recruitment Coordinator?
Recruitment Coordinators help us find local people interested in supporting SSAFA and take them through our recruitment and selection process.
Why do we need you?
We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our beneficiaries come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan.
There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.
To offer the best possible service to our clients we need to match the right volunteers to the right role. Could you spare a few hours a week to help recruit new volunteers and welcome them to SSAFA by supporting them through their induction phase? We’d love to hear from you if think you could help with this important role.
