We recognise that living with pulmonary fibrosis can be challenging. We are committed to supporting Trustees in a way that works for them, including options to join meetings remotely where needed.

Why join APF?

Pulmonary fibrosis brings complex and often challenging experiences for individuals and those around them. At APF, we work to improve support, drive research, and influence policy and care so that people affected by pulmonary fibrosis are better supported at every stage of their journey.

As a Trustee, you will help ensure that lived experience shapes our decisions, priorities and culture, influencing how we design services, set direction and deliver meaningful change.

We are particularly keen to hear from people who bring lived experience of pulmonary fibrosis, for example as a:

• Ask questions, contribute ideas and challenge constructively
• Work collaboratively and respectfully with others

We would also welcome, but do not require, experience in areas such as:

• HR, people management or organisational culture

The role

As a Trustee, you will:

• Help shape APF’s strategy and long-term direction
• Ensure strong governance, accountability and financial oversight
• Bring lived experience insight into Board discussions and decisions
• Help ensure services, research, information and campaigns reflect real needs
• Highlight barriers, inequalities and opportunities for improvement
• Contribute to subcommittees or projects where your perspective adds value

Time commitment

• ~4 Board meetings per year, with flexibility to attend remotely where needed
• Preparation time for meetings
• Occasional participation in subcommittees or advisory work, depending on your interests

We will work with you to ensure participation is manageable and accessible.

This is a voluntary, unpaid role. Reasonable expenses are reimbursed, including travel and caring costs where needed.

Who we are

It takes a village to raise a mother and child, but what happens when the most essential part of your village isn’t there? 

For 1 in 3 new mums, they are facing motherhood without their own mum due to death, estrangement, dementia, physical absence, or a complicated relationship. 

The impact? An entirely different experience of motherhood emotionally, practically and mentally. 

What we're hearing on the ground
95% of motherless mothers feel isolated. 85% say pregnancy or early motherhood reopened their grief. 80% are experiencing mental health difficulties such as anxiety or depression. Postnatal depression is 3x the national average, 5x higher in the US. (Source: The Hidden Crisis of Motherless Mothers, The Motherless Mothers and Peanut, October 2025). 

This is why The Motherless Mothers exists. Motherless mothers often feel unseen, misunderstood, and unsupported. But we're here to change that. Our mission is to provide the support and representation that every motherless mother needs when they need it most. Because this experience deserves recognition, research, support and language.

What we're looking for 

A fundraising professional with experience, passion and drive to grow this movement. In just under two years, we've made huge waves to take this experience out of the shadows and to give it a voice. From speaking in UK parliament, huge collaborations with reputable brands like Peanut and cardfactory, inaugural research into the mental health repercussions women without a mum face, and research to embed pathways of care that see motherless mothers first into NHS maternal mental health systems and workplaces. 

We need someone to take our fundraising efforts to the next level to allow us to do more. We have so many ideas, and would love someone with a creative, fresh and skilled approach to join our team of fabulous women who are wanting to make this experience more understood and heard. 

Could you give one hour a month to hold a safe, reflective space for a team of bereavement support volunteers? We are looking for a qualified therapist to facilitate a monthly online group; a place for our volunteers to process, decompress and feel supported.

The New Normal is a charity that runs free peer support groups for people navigating bereavement, facilitated by a dedicated team of volunteers across the UK.

Our volunteers dedicate their time and energy to supporting others through emotionally challenging times, and we want to make sure they feel equally held and supported in that work. We are looking for a qualified therapist to facilitate a monthly online group session for our volunteers: a safe, reflective space where they can process what comes up, let off steam, and when required be offered reflective feedback.

This is a facilitation role rather than a clinical one. You would be holding the space, normalising emotions, and offering a warm, containing presence, not providing individual therapy or carrying clinical responsibility for group members.

What we are looking for:

— A qualified or experienced therapist, ideally with a person-centred or integrative background

— Experience of group work or group facilitation (desirable but not essential)

— An affinity with bereavement, peer support, or community-based work

— Warmth, groundedness, and the ability to hold a group with confidence

What we can offer:

— Access to free safeguarding, peer support and Sucide First Aid (lite) training worth £500 (optional)

— A warm, motivated and reflective group of volunteers who care deeply about what they do

— Full support from The New Normal team

— The opportunity to contribute to a charity doing vital work in the bereavement space

This is a voluntary, unpaid role. We are happy to discuss the scope of the role in detail and support you in checking any requirements with your professional body or insurer before you commit.

Help us raise awareness, prevent harm, and grow projects that support at risk people across the UK and beyond.

The Mindful Foundation is a growing UK charity working across abuse prevention, emotional wellbeing, trauma recovery, rehabilitation, and victim support.

• Think Different: Preventing Harm Through Education
A trauma-informed early psychoeducational programme for children and young people aged 8–18 in schools, alternative provision settings, and foster care. Aiming to improve emotional control, self-worth, and resilience to stress to prevent harmful behaviour before it begins.

• True Power: Change Starts Inside
A behavioural change and rehabilitation programme supporting offenders and helping reduce reoffending. Aiming to improve emotional management, self-worth, control, and accountability to prevent harmful behaviour repeating.

• ListenApp
A discreet victim support app designed to help individuals experiencing abuse alert their support network instantly. Connecting those in danger to their emergency contacts and preventing harmful behaviour escalating.

The role may include:

• Supporting social media content and scheduling
• Setting up Google Ads
• Helping create awareness campaigns
• Assisting with newsletters, blogs, or website updates
• Designing simple promotional materials or graphics
• Supporting outreach to schools, charities, organisations, or communities

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has marketing, communications, social media, branding, PR, or content creation experience
• Is creative, organised, and proactive

Subject to funding and organisational growth, there may also be future paid opportunities available.
