Volunteer volunteer roles in belfast
Iprovision is the benevolent fund of The Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR). Iprovision is currently looking for new volunteers to join its Board of Trustees.
You don’t need to be a member of the CIPR to become a Trustee of Iprovision, but you do need to be willing to donate your time – and your understanding of the challenges life can throw at us – to consider the plight of those less fortunate.
The role Iprovision plays in helping members in need is really important. For example, Iprovision provides the funding for the CIPR’s mental health hotline that gives members access to expert advice and online materials. CIPR members coping with stress, with job loss, family illnesses or other challenges can turn to Iprovision for expert advice, counselling and, in many cases, financial support. To mark CIPR’s 75th anniversary we also established an education fund to help people get into the PR profession. We plan to continue with this fund in future years.
As a registered charity, Iprovision is led by its small board of up to 12 volunteer Trustees who consider the applications from CIPR members for support. Based on advice from a professional Support worker – the Trustees make the final decision on the type and level of support to be provided. This might be a straight cash grant, or the Trustees might elect to pay for some training and coaching to help someone get back into employment.
Each applicant for support is presented to the Trustees anonymously, and decisions are taken purely on the facts presented, the situation being experienced, and the types of support that are available.
As a charity, Iprovision depends for its funding purely on the voluntary annual donations that some members pay on top of their CIPR subscriptions, and fundraising activity and events.
The Trustees have a vital role to play – driving awareness of the fund, arranging and supporting fundraising activity, and of course considering applications for support. The Trustees meet four times a year (mix of in person and hybrid meetings) and are responsible for ensuring that the charity manages its funds wisely.
Knowledge, experience and attributes
Charitable Trustees have a general obligation to:
- Act in the charity’s best interests
- Manage the charity’s resources responsibly
- Act with reasonable care and skill.
Trustees should understand the purpose and activities of the charity and ensure they are in line and complying with the governance documents (the Memorandum and Articles of Association).
We are particularly keen to hear from people with experience or knowledge of:
- Fundraising
- Governance and charity law
- Accountancy and financial planning
Support & Training
We will provide opportunities for you to learn new skills and grow your expertise as we develop our plans. We encourage a culture of learning amongst our trustees, encourage and support them to develop existing skills, which help you flourish as a trustee on our board.
Benefits
This is a volunteer role so no material rewards are offered. Benefits are non-material and include experience, the opportunity to contribute, to learn and become part of a dynamic community. You will gain lasting relationships, insight into a benevolent fund, experience of non-executive leadership and the rewards of contribution. We will reimburse out of pocket expenses, including travel to attend any Iprovision meetings.
Liability
Iprovision is a separate legal entity (it is incorporated) and this acts as a mitigation to any personal liability.
For more information: see the essential trustee: what you need to know, what you need to do. Charity Commission England & Wales.
Our terms of service
Trustees are elected to serve terms of three years with an expectation that they will serve no more than 2-3 terms of three years.
We encourage applications from all sections of society and locations and are keen to ensure continued diversity brings constructive challenge and adds to the governance and work, of the charity.
Iprovision was founded in 1965 and its charitable purpose is to provide support in cash or in kind for the prevention or relief of poverty.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

About Victory Afghanistan
Victory Afghanistan is a Chicago-registered nonprofit dedicated to providing education and mentorship to Afghan girls and young women who have been banned from attending school. We currently support over 800 students through six levels of English instruction and three mentoring pathways:
-
Online Higher Education – Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees through remote universities.
-
Offline Higher Education – Scholarships and sponsorships abroad.
-
Online Work & Internships – Virtual career and internship opportunities.
Our mission is to help these students rebuild their futures through learning, connection, and courage.
About the Role
We are now recruiting a Volunteer Higher Education Pathway Manager to lead and expand our Online Higher Education stream. This is a volunteer leadership position that requires drive, moxie, ambition, and daring, a chance to test your skills and your character while doing something that truly matters.
You’ll step into an existing structure with full guidance from the previous manager, so you won’t be starting from zero. Your goal will be to identify and secure online higher education opportunities for Afghan women who cannot leave the country, whether through university partnerships, scholarships, sponsorships, or donated course placements.
You’ll also guide 3 Project Coordinators (who are students in our academy) and work closely with the Operations Manager to help deliver tangible outcomes.
This is a role for someone who gets things done. It’s fine if you make mistakes, what matters is consistency, initiative, and a willingness to keep pushing forward. We’re looking for someone who thrives under responsibility and believes in turning ideas into action.
Key Responsibilities
-
Build partnerships with universities, organisations, and institutions offering online higher education opportunities.
-
Identify and coordinate scholarship, sponsorship, or course placement options for students.
-
Lead and mentor three Project Coordinators who support the Pathway Programme.
-
Work collaboratively with the Operations Manager and other 2 Pathway Managers to achieve shared targets for 2026.
Why This Role Matters
This role is part of our mission to secure opportunities for Afghan women by September 2026. We are working towards:
-
Enrolling several students in Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees online,
-
Securing scholarships and sponsorships for higher education placements abroad, and
-
Helping more students access paid remote work and internships.
So far, one of our students has earned a scholarship to study abroad, and we aim to make this just the beginning.
This is a genuine leadership challenge. You’ll be part of a global, fast-moving team where energy and initiative matter more than titles. If you’ve got the drive, this is your chance to prove what you can do.
You must have a background in higher education, international development, or partnerships. Applicants should be based in the United Kingdom or United States for time-zone alignment and be available through September 2026. We will only be contacting applicants whose profiles show genuine potential for this leadership role.
