Trustee volunteer roles

We're looking for a motivated and highly organised Events Administrative Manager to play a central role in the smooth organisation of Bi Pride 2026. This role will provide administrative support to the Events team and supervise the newly developed Events Administration sub-team.

Ideal time commitment: approx. 5-10 hours per month; flexible. This is likely to increase on the approach to an event.

Location: remote/ home based, in-person attendance at events is desirable.

Supported/ supervised by: the Head of Events, also working closely with the Events Trustee and volunteers in the Events team.

Bi Pride UK’s mission is to create spaces where people who experience attraction beyond gender can be freely visible and celebrate themselves and their identities. It’s not enough to be ‘welcome’ at Pride. We make up a very large proportion of the queer community – the 2021 Census actually shows we’re half of the community – and we deserve to be visible and celebrated in our own right.

There are many ways to make this happen, and we work in many ways to bring this change about:

• Outreach work with other Prides, LGBTQ+ organisations and bi organisations – our consultation work with local Prides, the UK Pride Organisers Network and local and national LGBTQ+ organisations works in a tailored way to make sure that bi inclusion is a top priority and is being done well

• Organising a high-profile annual Bi Pride event – from September 2019, Bi Pride UK made history with the largest ever gathering of bi people recorded. A performance stage, a panel stage, stall village, street food, and over 1,300 attendees. After going virtual with the BiFi Festival for 2020 due to Covid-19 and running a virtual Pride event in 2021, we came back in person in 2022 with a hybrid event, and have been running the event in this format ever since

• Building a strong online and virtual community – just as important as the rest of our work is making sure that people hear about it! People need to know what resources and spaces exist for them, and how they can connect with other people like them

The role:

The Events team at Bi Pride UK is one of the core operational teams within the charity. The team handles programming, production and execution of our events, including our annual flagship Bi Pride event, which holds the record for the largest Bi Pride event in the world. This role will sit within the Events Administration sub-team, who are responsible for organising and performing administrative tasks to support the Events team to deliver smooth and highly successful events. 

We are looking for a motivated and highly organised Events Administrative Manager to play a central role in the smooth organisation of Bi Pride 2026. This role will provide administrative support to the Events team, most specifically assisting the Head of Events and Events Trustee with their administrative needs. The Events Administrative Manager will also supervise the Events Administration sub-team, helping to build up and shape this new emerging branch of the Events team. The holder of this role will join a supportive team, working with volunteers across the Events team and wider charity to contribute towards defining and improving the internal processes involved in producing Bi Pride 2026.

Key tasks of this role will include: 

• Working closely with the Head of Events and Events Trustee to ensure efficient organisation of the administrative activity relating to the Events team;

• Monitoring a shared Events team email inbox, including answering queries and escalating emails to the appropriate internal volunteer as required;

• Monitoring and maintaining a shared Events team planner, ensuring all information is up-to-date and accurate;

• Facilitating and tracking the completion of general event contributor contracts (such as consultants, catering, BSL interpreters, etc.), and maintaining accurate record keeping of the documentation;

• Receiving invoices from event contributors, maintaining accurate record keeping of these documents and sharing documentation with the Finance Team to process payments;

• Liaising with the Events team and event contributors to gather required information about the event/ contributors, and sharing this information with the Media & Comms Team in a timely manner for the production of Event related assets and promotional materials;

• Supervising a small team of year-round volunteers (dedicated to the administration of Bi Pride UK events);

• Attending regular Events Team meetings and venue visits, to contribute to the smooth planning and execution of the event.

Our team volunteers remotely from anywhere in the UK, with some travel required occasionally (primarily for our flagship Pride event in London in August). All reasonable expenses incurred are reimbursed, including travel, lunch at away days and other all day events, and some childcare costs if required. The successful candidate will attend fortnightly Events team meetings on Wednesday evenings via conference call, in addition to other possible meetings with the Events Administration sub-team and Events Trustee and Head of Events which will be scheduled in line with the team’s best availability.

Volunteer specification:

• Interest and passion for tackling discrimination against and improving the visibility of people in the UK attracted to more than one gender;

• An understanding of the needs of people and communities in the UK attracted beyond gender;

• Commitment to the aims and objectives of Bi Pride UK;

• Experience of administration in a workplace or charity role;

• Some experience of overseeing a team, especially volunteers;

• Ability to handle documentation and accurate record keeping in a manner which adheres to confidentiality and GDPR requirements;

• Confidence to suggest improvements to pre-existing administrative approaches, and create and maintain new administrative processes;

• Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective working relationships with volunteers at all levels within the organisation, as well as with event contributors;

@MINDSETCharity

Lead the transformation of communities and climate action as Chair of one of the North East's most impactful charities standing for social impact and environmental sustainability.

Location: Meetings take place Trust’s Head Office at Parsons Court, Newton Aycliffe; The Greenhouse, Annfield Plain, Stanley, Co Durham 

Closing date: Monday 3rd November

Who we are

For over three decades, Groundwork North East & Cumbria has stood for environmental sustainability and social impact. Our work spans five strategic growth areas: nature-based solutions that restore biodiversity and tackle flooding; youth employment programmes that provide skills and pathways into green careers; green teams and land management that transform neglected spaces; health and wellbeing initiatives that connect people with nature; and energy efficiency programmes that tackle fuel poverty while reducing carbon emissions.

Our mission is simple but profound: create better places, improve people’s prospects, and promote greener lifestyles. We believe that within every community, however disadvantaged, there is deep pride, resilience, and potential. Our role is to harness that pride and unlock that passion, delivering projects and programmes that not only change lives now but also make our communities more sustainable, inclusive, and resilient for the future.

As part of the Groundwork Federation, we are uniquely positioned as an environmental and community-focused charity dedicated to creating thriving places where people and nature flourish together. We work across both urban and rural communities throughout North East England and Cumbria to tackle inequalities, address climate and nature challenges, and empower individuals to improve their lives, neighbourhoods, and local economies.

We deliver outcomes that matter: energy-saving advice to thousands of households, targeted employment and youth programmes, landscape design and environmental restoration, community food growing projects, and nature-based solutions that benefit both people and wildlife. Through our Greenhouse Business Centre and Land of Oak & Iron Heritage Centre, we also operate successful social enterprises that generate income to reinvest in our charitable work.

About the role

We are seeking an exceptional leader to chair our Board of Trustees as we embark on our ambitious five-year strategy with our goal to achieve net-zero by 2030 while transforming lives region-wide. This is a pivotal moment in our journey, and we need someone who can guide us through this transformational phase.

As Chair, you will work closely with our Chief Executive, Steve Roberts and fellow Trustees to ensure the Trust fulfils its charitable objectives, maintains strong stakeholder trust, and delivers on our strategic ambitions. You will lead 4-6 board meetings annually, foster board development, and represent Groundwork externally as our ambassador.

The role involves ensuring robust governance standards, overseeing financial sustainability, and maintaining effective risk management frameworks. You will serve as a trusted advisor to the executive team, offering strategic counsel while ensuring clear boundaries between governance and executive management.

Who we are looking for

We need a Chair who genuinely understands what good governance looks like and can help us maintain the highest standards while supporting our ambitious growth plans. You will have demonstrable experience in senior leadership or governance roles, bringing strategic vision and the natural ability to facilitate constructive board discussions that drive real outcomes.

More than technical expertise, we are looking for someone who can inspire others and build relationships across diverse stakeholders. You will have natural leadership presence and the confidence to represent Groundwork externally with authenticity. Your diplomatic and empathetic communication style will enable meaningful engagement with people from all backgrounds, from local communities to government ministers.

We seek someone who can create an inclusive board culture where every voice is heard and valued. You will be skilled at fostering cohesion among trustees while ensuring collective accountability for our performance and impact.

Above all, we need someone who shares our genuine passion for environmental and social justice. You will have a heartfelt commitment to creating a more sustainable and inclusive society where communities can thrive. Whether through direct lived experience or professional background, you understand the challenges facing disadvantaged communities and believe in the transformative power of local action.

• Time commitment

The time commitment includes preparation for and attendance at quarterly board meetings, committee work, and external representation as appropriate. You will also spend time building relationships with fellow trustees and the executive team between formal meetings. Usually, the Chair of Groundwork North East & Cumbria sits on Groundwork UK’s Federation Board, which meets four times a year.

Many previous Chairs describe the experience as deeply rewarding, offering the opportunity to make a meaningful difference while developing leadership skills and building relationships with diverse professional and civic leaders.

If you believe in harnessing local pride and practical action to make green, fair and resilient communities a reality, we would love to hear from you.

About Reprieve

Reprieve is a leading international human rights organisation. Our aim is simple: to consign the death penalty and abuses carried out in the name of “counter-terrorism” or “national security” to history, drawing public and political attention to these past harms with a view to preventing them from occurring again.

In our view, you can best judge a society by how it treats prisoners, criminal defendants, and the far-flung targets of an ever-changing counter-terror policy. To us, the rule of law means little if we selectively apply it to people we agree with. It is for all of us. Liberty is always eroded at the margins.

Reprieve’s staff is made up of courageous and committed human rights defenders. Founded in 1999, we provide free legal and investigative support to people facing the death penalty and those victimised by states’ abusive counter-terror policies – rendition, torture, arbitrary detention and extrajudicial killing.

We fight our clients’ cases in courts around the world; investigate their mistreatment; and advocate on their behalf, encouraging public and political debate of human rights issues.

Reprieve’s main office is in London, UK. Reprieve also supports full-time Fellows, who work as lawyers, investigators and campaigners in the countries in which we work. We work closely with a number of partner organisations in jurisdictions all over the world, who provide access to clients, expertise, knowledge and guidance on specific issues or regions. We work in cooperation with relevant government officials, individual lawyers and human rights defenders, as well as individual, corporate and foundation funders to further the cause of our shared goals.

Reprieve works in close partnership with its independent sibling organisation Reprieve US.  This collaboration is mutually beneficial to both Reprieve and Reprieve US as it enables each organisation to work more effectively and take advantage of the strategic locations to increase the impact of our work.

About the Role

Our work would not be possible without the highest levels of governance provided by our Board of Trustees and its Chair.

The Board meets four times a year (normally January, May, July and October). Two Board meetings are in person, and we ask that the Chair attends other events when they can to meet staff and other key stakeholders, including donors. 

Day-to-day management of Reprieve is provided by the Senior Management Team. 

About You

Our new Chair will be passionate about our vision and mission and will be able to bring inclusive and knowledgeable insight to the Board and the Executive. They will have a keen sense of strategic purpose and an inclusive leadership style that inspires and supports other Trustees, the Executive, staff and key stakeholders to participate. They will be comfortable with challenge and debate and able to encourage that in others whilst fostering a collaborative Board environment. They will be able and willing to act as a figurehead and ambassador, and champion Reprieve’s work through personal networks, social media (if appropriate), and other channels.

They will be willing to lead according to Reprieve’s values and have a passion for seeking justice for the victims of extreme human rights abuses. They will support our commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion at Reprieve and share our commitment to fighting against racism and advancing racial justice, both in our work and within Reprieve.
