Our network of committed local vegans across the country is growing! The Vegan Society organises various outreach activities to influence change in every level of society. There are a range of activities going on all the time, from general educational stalls at events to meeting with local policy influencers.
What does the Advocate role involve?
Being an Advocate for veganism with The Vegan Society will mean communicating with people in your local community. You'll share the benefits of a vegan lifestyle. You will form part of a local group, headed up by a local Organiser. The Organiser will feed back your collective efforts to staff. You will also be invited to our private Facebook group, for vegan socialising and ideas sharing.
You’ll stay in touch with the Organiser and bring your passion to tasks. Activities can range from staffing a stall to giving a talk at an employee event. It could also mean writing to a local newspaper or lobbying an MP.
Messaging can differ every month. Part of our mission statement is to ensure people can remain vegan, so you might focus on getting more vegan options available in local businesses. Or within our Live Vegan for Less campaign, you may share cheap vegan recipes to help people with the cost of living.
When acting as an Advocate, you will use The Vegan Society’s branding and messaging guidelines. Your local Organiser will guide you in doing this, as they hold physical resources and handbooks. You can report any issues and feedback you have to your Organiser. You can also contact staff if your Organiser isn't available or you have any problems.
What training and support is available?
You will be provided with a big welcome and full induction from your local Organiser. They will introduce you to the group and any actions that are ongoing. Any training and development will be provided via your Organiser, and you can also ask for specific training on any areas that you need some development in.
What skills would be useful in doing this role?
- The ability to stay motivated in order to achieve the best possible outcomes
- Good email etiquette, responding in a timely manner
- Committed to veganism and the mission of The Vegan Society
- Ability to stay calm if confronted with differing opinions or challenges
- A good communicator, with the ability to be persuasive
- Confident in communicating with people from a range of backgrounds
- Experience of campaigning
- Any experience in talking with members of the public through customer/public service would be helpful
- Awareness of current affairs, especially those that relate to veganism
- Regular availability and a willingness to stay committed to actions
- Good team player
How much time do I need to invest?
For Advocates, we ask for people to engage in a minimum of four to six actions per year. An example of an action could be writing to an MP or holding a stall. But the more you can do, the better! On occasion, there may also be online meetings to plan for actions or provide training.
Who can I contact to find out more?
Enquiries are welcome! Please contact Katy Malkin (Volunteering Coordinator).
How do I apply?
Interested? Simply fill in our Community Advocate application form. This should take a few minutes.

-
Build pupil confidence in English.

Have strong subject knowledge (confident enough to tutor up to GCSE)

The chance to grow your contacts and meet like-minded volunteers
-
The chance to make a real difference in the life of a young person.
Additional information: We’re looking for tutors that can commit to a minimum of 2 academic terms of volunteering.
We will need to conduct reference checks and you will need an Enhanced DBS for this role as you will be working directly with children. We can process this for you or you may submit one if this is less than 3 years old.

Fathercraft
We want to change the perceptions of male caring and fatherhood and support more partners to get involved because it creates value for everyone.
Supporting men to be equal and active parents from the start is key for gender equality. Research from Sweden suggests that every additional month of paternity leave taken by fathers increases the mother’s lifetime earnings by 6.7% (Johansson, 2010).
80% of the gender pay gap is attributed to the motherhood penalty (World Economic Forum, 2022)
The gender pay gap more than doubles for women over 40 (ONS, 2022)
Yet despite increasing willingness and interest in taking an active parenting role, in 2022, dads spent, on average, just 55 minutes per day with their children (ONS, 2023).
This is largely due to the fact that one in three working dads don’t feel comfortable talking to their employer about family commitments and/or are not adequately supported to be the best dads and partners they can be.
We have developed an affordable, comprehensive online platform called "Father's Ed" that provides guidance, support, wellbeing services and a community for new or expectant fathers. This includes peer support between dads, science-based online, digital well-being courses covering a range of strange and anxiety triggers, e. g. financial well-being, loneliness, insomnia, etc.). We are also working on providing mental health services for new fathers through partnerships.
Video Editor
Volunteer Role Description (remote, unpaid)
Craft stories that change perceptions. One frame at a time.
About Fathercraft UK
At Fathercraft UK, we believe dads matter - right from day one. Through Father’s Ed, our flagship learning platform, and a range of digital tools and content, we empower expectant and new fathers to take an active, confident role in family life. Our mission is simple but transformative: to shift the narrative on male caregiving and create a world where every father is supported to parent out loud.
⸻
The Opportunity
We’re looking for a volunteer Video Editor with experience using Pictory to help us transform written and spoken content into engaging short-form videos for social platforms and our e-learning ecosystem.
You’ll take the lead in crafting high-impact visual narratives—turning blog articles, scripts, and voiceovers into snackable, scroll-stopping videos that educate, inspire, and provoke thought. This is a fully remote, part-time opportunity ideal for someone who wants to build their portfolio while contributing to a purpose-driven cause.
⸻
What You’ll Do • Use Pictory’s Script-to-Video and Article-to-Video workflows to create engaging short videos. • Add visuals, music, voiceovers, and text overlays using Pictory’s built-in editing tools. • Edit and optimise videos for key platforms: Instagram Reels, LinkedIn, Facebook, and YouTube Shorts. • Repurpose long-form content into multiple short-form outputs, matched to platform-specific specs. • Collaborate with our content and social teams to ensure narrative clarity and brand consistency. • Ensure all assets are optimised for mobile-first consumption and accessibility.
⸻
You Should Have • Hands-on experience using Pictory, particularly Script-to-Video, Article-to-Video, and Text-to-Video features. • A solid understanding of pacing, visual storytelling, and sound design. • Familiarity with video optimisation for social media platforms (duration, dimensions, captions, etc.). • A strong creative instinct with attention to tone, rhythm, and emotional impact. • Ability to follow a brief while suggesting creative enhancements. • Experience with voiceovers, stock visuals, or subtitle editing is a plus.
⸻
What You’ll Gain • Experience working with a live audience and a fast-growing mission-led brand. • A portfolio of purpose-driven video content featured across multiple platforms. • The chance to make a meaningful impact through visual storytelling. • Full credit and recognition for your work across our channels. • Remote flexibility and creative autonomy.
Use your editing skills to inspire a new generation of dads. Let’s make fatherhood visible - together.

Do you have a great idea to benefit people living with MS? At the MS Society, we campaign on a range of issues like welfare, treatments, care and support that people with MS need. We want to do more locally and want to support your ideas on making change happen. Together we can do more.
Perhaps you’ve spotted there are no blue badge spaces at your local supermarket? Or maybe your neighbourhood has no kerbs easy for wheelchairs to use? In this volunteer role, you’ll help drive change for people with MS in your community and develop your networking and influencing skills along the way.
As a campaigner you’ll bring your own ideas, local knowledge and personal experience to your campaigns. You’ll make decisions about your own campaign activities and collaborate with other campaigners in your area.
This role is flexible and aims to fit around you. Time commitments for this role may vary depending on your activities and the campaigning you’d like to do. This is an ongoing role.
