Message from the Chair of Trustees

The Trustees represent different backgrounds and experiences, but what pulls us together is a

commitment to SEED’s work on the ground in Madagascar. Several of us have been to Madagascar

and have either volunteered or worked with SEED, so we have seen first-hand how important our

work is, and the positive impact SEED has in the communities we serve. Madagascar is an

extraordinary country with exceptional biodiversity but has severely lacking infrastructure and a

high level of anthropogenic threats due to extreme poverty and considerable dependence on

natural resources.

We are looking forward to welcoming a new Chair of our Board of Trustees to join the amazing

team of dedicated staff and volunteers who are delivering sustainable development, conservation

and community work through a range of projects based on local needs. The current Chair has been

in post since 2022 and served as a Trustee for 2 years prior to that. A change of leadership and a

fresh perspective is timely and will ensure we approach the next phase of our growth and

development with new ideas. You will be assured of a warm and supportive welcome with the

benefit of a team containing years of experience, combined with new members who bring global

expertise in their field.

SEED is growing thanks to successful marketing, fundraising project development and delivery. We

are now looking to build on our implementation of our strategic plan, to deliver sustainable

development for the people of southeastern Madagascar. We are privileged to work with its

wonderful people, and we hope that you will want to join us.

ROLE TITLE: The Digital Navigator (Growth & Social Lead) – Men’s Mental Growth Movement
CATEGORY: Marketing, PR & Media / Digital & Social Media
CAUSES: Mental Health / Men
ROLE TYPE: Volunteer (Remote)

JOIN MINDSET:
Algorithms don't care about "awareness," and neither do we. We care about action. MINDSET is a new, volunteer-powered CIO that’s binning the clinical "waiting room" approach to men’s mental health. We’re building a movement around shared challenges and real-world connection.

We don't need a "social media manager" to post quotes. We need a Digital Navigator to lead our growth.

THE ROLE:
As our Digital Navigato, you are the link between our vision and the men who need it. You’ll be responsible for our digital presence, managing our "Coming Soon" campaigns, and using data to make sure our "Missions" are seen by the right men at the right time.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Deploy the "Coming Soon" campaign across X, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
• Monitor engagement—using data to tell The Frontline (The Doers) what activities men actually want.
• Apply for and manage our Google Ad Grant (up to £7.5k/month in free ads).
• Grow the waitlist using simple, high-impact digital funnels.

WHO YOU ARE:

• A digital marketer or social lead who knows that "likes" don't equal "impact."
• Someone who understands how to target male-leaning audiences effectively.
• A volunteer who wants to use their technical "day job" skills to save lives.

COMMITMENT: 

This is a volunteer role with no set hours. While we would ideally appreciate a committment of 2–3 hours per week, we are fully flexible around your other life commitments. You are free to stop volunteering at any time. This role is fully remote.

APPLY: 

Send over your up-to-date CV and Tell us about a digital campaign you’ve run that actually moved the needle, and why you want to help MINDSET scale.

ROLE TITLE: The Tech Setup Lead (Systems & Infrastructure) – Men’s Mental Growth Movement
CATEGORY: IT / Technology / Project Management
CAUSES: Mental Health / Men
ROLE TYPE: Volunteer (Remote)

JOIN MINDSET:
Most charities are slowed down by clunky tech and "reply-all" email chains. We won't be. MINDSET is a new, action-first CIO built for the modern world. We trade clinical waiting rooms for real-world challenges, and we need a digital workshop that’s just as efficient.

We don't want an "IT Support" person. We want a Systems Architect to build our engine room.

THE ROLE:
As our Tech Setup Lead, you are the invisible force that makes MINDSET scale. You’ll be responsible for setting up our "Tech Stack"—from volunteer comms to member waitlists—ensuring everything is automated, secure, and simple to use.

WHAT YOU'LL DO:

• Set up and manage our Google Workspace for Nonprofits.
• Build our internal "Mission Control" using Slack and Notion.
• Implement a lean CRM/Email system (like Mailchimp) to manage our growing brotherhood.
• Bridge the gap between our vision and the digital tools that make it happen.

WHO YOU ARE:

• A tech-savvy pro who knows how to make different apps talk to each other.
• Someone who values "simple and scalable" over "complex and clunky."
• A volunteer who wants to build the foundation of a movement that changes lives.

COMMITMENT: 

This is a volunteer role with no set hours. While we would ideally appreciate a committment of 2–3 hours per week (initially during setup), we are fully flexible around your other life commitments. You are free to stop volunteering at any time. This role is fully remote.
 

APPLY: 

Send over your up-to-date CV and Tell us about the best "No-Code" or "Lean Tech" stack you’ve built and why you’re ready to help MINDSET level up.

This is an exciting time to join the Endometriosis UK trustee board, as the organisation expands and develops to achieve the changes that are needed to support those affected by the disease and to drive down diagnosis time. We are looking for a new Treasurer to build on this momentum to strengthen our organisation and bring about change for those with endometriosis. We have a skills-based board, with Trustees having one or more identified skills, with the overall membership of the Board providing the complete set of skills. 

Endometriosis UK is the largest UK charity for those with endometriosis. Endometriosis UK works to:

• Provide support to those with endometriosis and their families and friends

• Provide clear, objective information about the condition and its treatments

• Raise awareness amongst health professionals and the general public about the condition

• Support research into endometriosis.

This is an unpaid role. Reasonable pre-agreed travel expenses will be paid.

Time commitment:

• Five meetings a year, including preparation for meetings, reading papers etc; and attendance at an annual strategy day and AGM (held on the same days as Board meetings).

• Trustees have the opportunity to take part in Board sub-groups and project groups to develop aspects of the organisations’ work. Current sub-groups include the Finance Committee and Diversity & Inclusion Sub-Group. Trustees are also invited to attend Endometriosis UK events.

We are recruiting for one new treasurer to join the board. We are particularly looking for:

• Personal or professional experience of diversity and inclusion issues

• Marketing and digital marketing

• Communications and social media

• Campaigning and achieving change

• Experience of working in Primary Care

• Charity finance experience

• Currently living in Northern Ireland, Scotland or Wales

Personal experience of living with, or having a close family member with, endometriosis, is vital on our Board. Whilst we look favourably on applications from those in the endometriosis community, we already have Trustees with first hand lived experience and new trustees do not need to have endometriosis. 

We also particularly welcome applications from trustees from a range of backgrounds and experiences as part of our commitment to diversity.

The role will start at a Board meeting on 28th November 2026, when our current Treasurer reaches the end of their 6-year term of office. Prior to the roles starting, the incoming Treasurer will have the opportunity to observe a Board meeting in September, and induction will be planned in October.
