East London Waterworks Park is a volunteer-led charity that has won a 2024 New London Architecture award and raised £2m towards buying land from the Department for Education to transform the 14-acre Thames Water Depot on Lea Bridge Road on the border of Waltham Forest and Hackney, into a new biodiverse park with natural swimming ponds, forest schools and community spaces. 

We are looking for volunteers to develop learning content and resources, such as lesson plans and educational materials, to support our environmental learning goals. This role will focus on creating school-friendly resources for our website and collaborating with educators to enhance our offerings.

The role would include:

• Developing online learning resources for our website (on-going project)
• Designing or tailoring existing lesson plans and activities for schools 
• Supporting the creation of ELWP’s Under 18s volunteering policy

We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role.

Help shape a fair, bold solution to the climate crisis. Work with us to turn personal carbon reduction into effective climate action with our ground-breaking approach. Our vision is for a world in control of CO₂ emissions - a fair social and economic approach that motivates and supports people and organisations to reduce their carbon footprints.

Our ultimate mission is to persuade people, business and government that together, we can take meaningful action using our Carbon Accounts framework. We are already demonstrating how this would work on the ground in our grassroots community action group. We believe we can use this to inspire people and businesses and ultimately government to introduce the same mechanism to reach science-based emission reduction targets on a national basis.

What will you be doing?

We are currently completely volunteer-led, agile, pragmatic and ambitious. We would like to build up our trustee board with trustees who are keen to help drive EcoCounts forward through active involvement in what is an exciting time to get involved.

Our goal for the next 12 months is:

• to continue building our local group of activists from all sections of society who monitor their carbon and ecological footprints

• to run a crowd-funder in spring 2026

• to create a carbon footprint app to fulfil our requirements

• to extend our audience in the media and social media

• to build relationships and new, innovative ways of collaborating with local businesses and local government

• to create a blueprint which can be adopted in other locations

We want to spread the movement far and wide, to promote public, business, academic and political acceptance of carbon budgets, carbon trading and our Carbon Accounts approach by demonstrating how and why the concepts work and represent a potentially break-through approach to the climate crisis.

What are we looking for?

We’re looking for someone to jump right in with our small and dynamic team to provide guidance, energy and insight to help us develop. We’re looking to fill two distinct trustee roles: governance lead and fundraising lead. When applying, please let us know which you interests you.

Governance Lead

Do you have experience with:

• charity governance

• policy creation and management

• strategy development combining marketing, fundraising, volunteer management and finance & business planning

Fundraising Lead

• significant fundraising experience in either grant applications, online subscriptions, crowdfunders, corporate giving or philanthropy from high net worth individuals

• working with volunteer fundraisers to help build or even lead the team, monitor progress, coach or mentor where necessary

• enthusiasm to get stuck into the work yourself

• all-round awareness of business plans, marketing campaigns and volunteer management, to be able to contribute to strategy and direction

In Both

• you’ll need an awareness of the serious nature of the crisis and the need for radical action by governments, i.e. a strong desire to see society make an urgent response to climate change

• ability to work online, in person, in different environments with different types of people

• consistency and good communication on instant messaging channels, emails and other

• co-operative nature and appreciation for exchange of ideas, flexibility and openness to feedback

• ability to understand our Carbon Accounts concept, which is not difficult but does have extensive impacts

• free some Monday evenings for our in-person meetings
