Key Responsibilities:
● Lead and energise our ‘Friends of YAA’ initiative, engaging donors and stakeholders.

Who We’re Looking For:
● A well-connected individual with deep knowledge of RBKC and its philanthropic landscape.

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 educator and facilitator volunteers to participate in our community-led working group, who are collaborating with schools, universities and youth groups that help the design of the park.
Examples of projects are:

You should be an experienced teacher, educational consultant, forest school leader, training and development specialist, learning designer, facilitator or any other kind of role creating learning projects, programmes and experiences. Our roles are quite flexible. We hope that people bring radical imagination, peace with nature, and courageous inclusiveness to the role.
Your support will help young people and learners improve their environmental knowledge of design and research as well as contributing to our community-owned park. This will in turn provide a sense of stewardship over the land once the park is created and student's ideas have been built into the park.
Creating learning projects with educational institutions will also help our charity with the strategy to buy the land through showing the value of our environmental education programme before we create the park.

Job Title: Treasurer
Salary: Unremunerated
Location: Winchester / Hybrid
Join the team behind the team! – Treasurer role (job share considered)
Littleton Junior FC has been part of the community for over half a century. With more than 40 teams and over 600 young players registered, we’ve earned a strong reputation locally – not just for developing footballers, but for creating a supportive, inclusive space for children and families to thrive.
We’re looking for a dedicated Treasurer – or two people sharing the role – to join our volunteer committee and help ensure the club’s financial foundations remain as solid as our reputation on the pitch.
Whether you’re a spreadsheet whizz, a fan of forecasting, or someone who simply wants to use their skills to give back to grassroots sport, we’d love to hear from you.
The role could be shared and split in two main parts:
Role 1: Club finance and reporting
Includes tasks such as keeping accurate financial records (Excel-based), managing payments and reimbursements, cashflow monitoring, and producing a set of annual accounts. This part averages about an hour per week and includes regular monthly reconciliation.
Role 2: Membership fees and payments
Focused on setting up and managing membership fees via the CRM, allocating payments, handling refunds, chasing unpaid fees through coaches, and managing the hardship fund. There’s some upfront work in May, a busy spell around the start of the season in August/September, and then lighter monthly duties.
Both parts are supported by clear handovers and the flexibility to back each other up – whether you take on one side or both, you won’t be alone.
You don’t need to be a qualified accountant – just someone who is:
- Confident with numbers and basic Excel spreadsheets
- Comfortable with online banking and payment systems
- A good communicator and team player
- Passionate about helping young people through sport
What you’ll get in return:
- The satisfaction of playing a key role in one of Hampshire’s biggest junior clubs
- The opportunity to shape the future sustainability of grassroots football
- A warm welcome from a brilliant team of volunteers, coaches and parents
For more information, please contact Adam Stacey, Managing Director, Charisma Charity Recruitment.
Your expression of interest should be submitted through the Charisma website and include your CV and supporting statement.
We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds. We do not discriminate on the basis of disability, race, colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, veteran status, or other category protected by law.

What difference will you make?
We are a small charity fighting hard to support our families, as we grow, we need to bring in more funding, could you be the person to support us? Are you creative with vibrant ideas that could work boost our fundraising?
Your support will help us to grow and support more families, our families are extremely important to us, we support amazing children and young people fighting big issues due to neurodiversity or trauma resulting in mental health issues, we work hard as a team to fund staycations so our families can breathe and take a break so they can recuperate to face the challenges they so unfairly face. You will have the chance to make a huge difference to the lives of the vulnerable families we support at Barefoot and Free.
