We are refreshing our Board as a number of former Trustees have retired and are particularly interested to hear from Black and Asian candidates, candidates from other minority ethnic backgrounds, and candidates with disabilities. If you have experience as a charity Trustee, this would be welcome but is not essential.
Application deadline: 10:00 - Monday 2 December 2024
What are we looking for?
As well as a passion for the Institute, our special collections and our work, the successful candidate must have an accountancy qualification and hands-on senior level financial experience. We would welcome candidates who already have experience as a trustee at a charity in the heritage, arts or education sector, but this is not essential. The successful candidate will be skilled at analysing complex financial information, communicating it clearly and succinctly, and at working in a team.
The successful applicant will sit on the Finance Committee and will work closely with the Chair of the Finance Committee, the Chief Executive and the Head of Finance & Enterprise to ensure the smooth financial running of Bishopsgate Institute and to enable other Trustees to carry out their financial responsibilities.
What’s the commitment?
There are normally four Board meetings a year held in person at the Institute, on Monday evenings, and in some years there is a strategy away day for the full Board. The Finance Committee normally meets online two weeks before each Board meeting. Trustees are consulted by email between meetings as the need arises. All Trustees are encouraged to attend events at Bishopsgate Institute.
Trustees serve for an initial term of three years and a maximum term of six years and are legally accountable for the responsible governance of the Institute. Trustees are not remunerated.
Your application
We are keen to make this Trustee appointment in time for the March 2025 Board, at which the budget for 2025-26 will be approved.
Please download the candidate pack via our website and apply by emailing us with your CV and a one- page letter outlining the reasons for your interest in Bishopsgate Institute and your relevant experience by 1000 on Monday 2 December 2024.
We anticipate inviting shortlisted candidates to interview in person on Thursday 9 or Tuesday 14 January 2025. Candidates invited to interview will be asked to provide their referees’ details at that stage: these would be taken up only if we want to make an offer.
We will let all applicants know the result of their application before mid-December.

Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity and our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. Cats are at the centre of everything we do and our objectives are: homing, neutering and educating people about cats and their care. We help thousands of cats across the UK each year thanks to our network of dedicated volunteers, staff and supporters.
A bit about this role
Unfortunately thousands of cats each year are abandoned or have strayed and rely on charities like Cats Protection for help. Becoming a TNR volunteer is one way you can make a real difference to cats in your local area. Our TNR volunteers help reduce the number of feral cats by raising awareness of our TNR programmes, setting humane traps to safely capture cats, taking them to local vets to be neutered, and hopefully returning them back to their territory. Local TNR programmes are crucial, as feral and abandoned cats present a huge challenge for communities across the UK.
What can you expect to be doing?
- Trapping cats using humane methods
- Taking cats to local vets to be neutered
- Returning cats to their territory or finding a suitable alternative
The role might also include:
- Regular feeding of feral colonies
- Promoting neutering by building relationships with farmers, land owners and local businesses
- Liaising with vets to promote and arrange neutering
A bit more information about this role and the team...
Run by a small team of dedicated, cat-loving volunteers, we are dedicated to improving the lives of local cats and kittens, to find loving new homes for cats in our care, offering support with neutering, and lost and found cats, as well as general education and awareness within the Framlingham & Saxmundham area.
What are the benefits to you and the cats?
You will develop new skills, expand your knowledge and make a significant contribution to improving the lives of cats and kittens by helping reduce the number of unwanted cats and improving the lives of cats in your local area. You will also meet new people, make new friends and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers.
We’re looking for someone with
- Basic knowledge of cats and cat care
- Good interpersonal and communication skills
- A well organised and practical approach
- Patience and perseverance
- The ability to deal with sensitive situations
- Good communication skills
- A full, clean driving licence and access to a vehicle
Time expectation
This is a flexible role and the hours will vary depending on the number of cats identified for specific TNR campaigns. Our current TNR volunteers spend about 2 to 3 hours per week in this role which can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
Support, guidance and keeping you safe
At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats

LeanOnMe
Mental Health for youth empowered by AI.
LeanOnMe addresses pressing social and environmental challenges by tackling the growing mental health crisis among Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs), particularly those aged 16-25. In today’s increasingly complex world, AYAs face numerous mental health challenges that impact their well-being, education, and social integration. Some of the critical issues we address include:
Mental Health Crisis in AYAs: The mental health of young people is deteriorating at an alarming rate. Globally, 1 in 5 adolescents suffers from a mental health condition, with conditions like anxiety and depression on the rise. The impact of this crisis is profound—by 2030, mental health costs are expected to reach $6 trillion, with a significant portion of this burden falling on young people. The increasing prevalence of mental health conditions, such as anxiety and depression, creates a significant social challenge, as many AYAs are left without adequate resources or support. Key Drivers of Mental Health Deterioration: Digital media consumption, academic and social pressure, economic uncertainty, and social isolation are some of the key factors contributing to this crisis. AYAs are particularly vulnerable to the pressures created by social media, the increasing competitiveness of the academic environment, and societal issues like climate change, trust deficits, and inequality. As a result, AYAs often experience heightened anxiety, depression, and stress. Barriers to Mental Health Support: Despite the growing need, the current mental health support system is inadequate to meet the demands of AYAs. Many young people face barriers such as: Lack of availability of professional support High costs of therapy Inaccessibility of real-time mental health assistance Stigma associated with seeking help These barriers leave many AYAs dealing with their mental health issues in isolation, leading to long-term negative impacts on their education, career prospects, and quality of life. Environmental and Societal Challenges: Beyond individual mental health concerns, broader societal issues, such as climate change, economic instability, and distrust in institutions, exacerbate the mental health challenges faced by AYAs. These factors create a sense of uncertainty and hopelessness among young people, further driving the need for accessible, reliable mental health support.
The Need for Instant, Affordable, and Real-Time Support: AYAs require an immediate response to their mental health needs, but professional help is often unavailable, unaffordable, or inaccessible. LeanOnMe fills this gap by offering a 24/7 AI-enabled mental health solution, delivering instant, customized support through a familiar platform like WhatsApp. This not only ensures accessibility but also reduces the stigma associated with seeking mental health support. LeanOnMe’s AI bot provides real-time conversations, offering emotional support, stress management techniques, and career advice specifically tailored to the challenges faced by AYAs, particularly during stressful times like exams. In summary, LeanOnMe’s solution addresses the urgent social and environmental challenges of the growing mental health pandemic among AYAs by providing accessible, affordable, and stigma-free support. This bridges the gap between the challenges they face and professional help, helping young people manage stress and build resilience through real-time AI-enabled support.
LeanOnMe offers a 24/7 AI-driven mental health support platform, tailored specifically for Adolescents and Young Adults (AYAs) aged 16-25. Our solution directly addresses the gaps in mental health care by providing instant, affordable, and accessible mental health support through a conversational AI bot on platforms like WhatsApp, where AYAs are most comfortable.

Nicole Ilunga Foundation
The Nicole Ilunga Foundation actively works to combat gender inequality through initiatives focused on protection, education, and healthcare.
The Democratic Republic of Congo's low female representation in economic and political spheres, despite constitutional and international commitments and despite the current prime minister being a woman, demands urgent attention. Shocking statistics reveal that fewer than 10% of women are involved in political bodies, and those who do participate face frequent violence and harassment. Overcoming cultural, social, and economic barriers is essential to enhancing women's political engagement.
Nicole Ilunga Foundation is dedicated to implementing a comprehensive range of educational activities aimed at empowering women and youth, especially those from underserved backgrounds, to take on leadership roles, advocate for change, and develop entrepreneurial skills.

If you can spend time with us, we can offer lots of opportunities to help our cadets and gain your own skills and experiences too.
We meet twice a week and we’re always looking for volunteers who are willing to try their hand at anything. You could find yourself teaching skills, running activities, or providing encouragement and moral support. If you have specialist skills, we can use them. If you want to learn new skills like rock climbing or gliding, we can train you.
Benefits of being a volunteer
Being a volunteer is rewarding and has a lot of different benefits.
- learn skills in a range of areas
- develop leadership qualities
- personal development
- gain qualifications in areas like mountain leadership, first aid and NVQs
Whatever you decide to focus on, all volunteers gain a huge sense of achievement from helping young people realise their potential.
To be a volunteer you need to
- Be aged 20 years or more (uniformed officers serve up to age 65)
- have lived in the UK for a minimum of 3 years
- commit to a certain number of hours
- understand young people and their needs
- be patient, responsible and kind
- have a good level of fitness, but by no means be an athlete
We know our volunteers may have families, jobs and hobbies, so we can be flexible and work around other areas of your lives. All we expect in return is clear communication, good organisation and commitment to your squadron.
You do not need
- a military background or experience
- experience of working with young people
- relevant skills like flying or gliding
If you choose to progress into a uniformed role, we provide uniforms and all the training you’ll require and there are opportunities to move up through the ranks as an officer or senior non-commissioned officer (SNCO). You’ll be guided through the process of interviews at Wing HQs and Regional HQs.
While our volunteers don’t get paid, if you progress to be an officer or non-commissioned officer you can claim for up to 28 days’ volunteer allowance.
Typical joining process
- Submit an expression of interest
- Visit the squadron
- You’ll have an informal interview (usually when you make the first visit)
- Invited to complete an online application
- Get access to the RAF Air Cadets online system to complete the final forms
- Have a DBS check
After your DBS is successful, you’ll be able to attend the squadron and help with activities on a 6-month probation. During this time you’ll complete our mandatory Adult Volunteer Induction Course. After your 6 months, you can then attend external activities too.
The time from initial enquiry through to starting as a volunteer can vary depending on the availability of current volunteers, but on average it takes around three months. This is due to the enquiries that need to be made, including a DBS, as part of our safeguarding checks.
The RAF Air Cadets offer young people exciting opportunities for personal and professional development.
