Volunteer roles

Are you passionate about improving health and wellbeing outcomes, especially for older people?

Do you value the “magic dust” of real human relationship?

Claremont Project is a mental health, arts and wellbeing charity based in Angel, Islington. We are seeking a Treasurer Trustee to strengthen our charity as we step into our next chapter.
 

About us

Claremont has been around since 1819 and serves mostly older people through a powerful blend of social prescribing, low-cost psychotherapy and a programme of arts and wellbeing activities.

Claremont is a place of innovation and creativity, underpinned by a Relational Approach which emphasises real listening, self-awareness and an awareness of how we are being in relation to other people. We were the UK’s first Wellbeing Centre long before the term was ubiquitous; and in the 1920s and 30s we ran programmes that became models for the Welfare State.

At our beautiful and well-loved building at 24–27 White Lion Street, we nurture a vibrant, inclusive community, underpinned by our conviction that everybody matters.

About the role

The Treasurer is a key member of the Board of Trustees, helping to ensure Claremont’s financial health, sustainability and good governance.

Working closely with the Chair, CEO and bookkeeper, the Treasurer supports the Board in overseeing the charity’s financial affairs and ensuring appropriate financial stewardship.

The Treasurer will:

• Support the Board in fulfilling its financial governance responsibilities.
• Help ensure that effective financial controls and reporting systems are in place.
• Provide oversight and constructive challenge regarding budgets, forecasts and financial planning.
• Assist the Board in understanding Claremont’s financial position and long-term sustainability.
• Support compliance with Charity Commission and Companies House financial requirements.
• Chair or participate in finance-related committee meetings where appropriate.
• Contribute strategically to the future development of the organisation.

As set out by the Charity Commission, Trustees at Claremont are collectively responsible for:

• Advancing the charitable purposes of Claremont and ensuring we carry out our purposes for public benefit.
• Ensuring Claremont complies with its governing document and the law.
• Acting in Claremont’s best interests.
• Managing Claremont’s resources responsibly.
• Acting with reasonable care and skill.
• Ensuring that Claremont is accountable as a charity.

Who we are looking for

We are seeking someone who:

• Has financial expertise, accountancy qualifications and/or senior financial management experience.
• Understands governance and financial oversight within charities or not-for-profits.
• Can think strategically and communicate financial information clearly to non-financial colleagues.
• Shares Claremont’s mission, values and relational approach.
• Brings warmth, emotional intelligence and collaborative working.

Experience in one or more of the following areas would also be valuable:

• Charity finance and fundraising
• Property or buildings management
• Income generation and lettings

Alongside technical expertise, we are looking for a certain “Claremontiness” — aspirational and personal qualities that embody a genuine relational approach to life.

Time commitment

Quarterly Board meetings (held in the evenings), plus preparation, emails and committee work.

Equality, diversity and inclusion

Claremont is a community where people from all backgrounds are loved and wanted, and which is diverse in terms of characteristics like race and ethnicity, gender, disability and socioeconomic status. We seek to ensure that our Board represents the people we serve and welcome applications from candidates coming from backgrounds that have historically been underrepresented on charity boards.
 

How to apply

Please send a CV and covering letter describing why you are interested in the role and summarising the expertise you bring.

Deadline for applications: Wednesday 30th September

Please note:

• You must be 18 or over and must not be disqualified from acting as a Trustee.
• Trustees are required to declare any conflict of interest while carrying out their duties.
• This is a voluntary position, but reasonable expenses are reimbursed.

Help Build Something Different. Help Build Urban Youth.

London is moving faster than ever. But for too many young people, the doors are locked.

Urban Youth is a new, volunteer-powered youth work charity built around a simple idea:

Youth work should go where young people are.

We don't want to sit in static buildings waiting for young people to find us.

We want to drop into the heart of the city – empty shops, unused spaces, concrete cages, community centres, public spaces and street-side studios – and create opportunities where young people can connect, create, learn, grow and belong.

• We are building something bold.
• Something energetic.
• Something that feels like London.

And we are looking for people who want to help us make it happen.

THE VOLUNTEER OPPORTUNITY

We are looking for passionate, capable and community-minded volunteers to join the Urban Youth Charity Leadership Team and help us establish, grow and run Urban Youth across Inner London.

This is an opportunity to play a genuine leadership role in an ambitious new youth work charity.

You don't need to have worked in the charity sector before.

You might be a youth worker, community organiser, entrepreneur, creative professional, project manager, fundraiser, educator, marketer, designer, finance professional, HR specialist, safeguarding professional, operations expert, partnership builder – or simply someone with the drive, experience and ideas to help build something extraordinary.

What matters most is your commitment to young people, your willingness to get stuck in, and your belief that opportunity should not depend on which postcode you live in.

WHAT YOU'LL HELP US DO

As part of the Charity Leadership Team, you'll help shape Urban Youth from the ground up.

Depending on your experience and interests, you could contribute to:

• Developing Urban Youth's strategy, vision and operating model.

• Helping establish our volunteer-powered delivery model.

• Developing and launching pop-up youth work sessions across Inner London.

• Identifying and developing relationships with community organisations and local partners.

• Finding and securing free or low-cost spaces for youth work.

• Supporting grant applications, sponsorship and community fundraising.

• Helping recruit, welcome, train and support volunteers.

• Developing youth work programmes, projects, workshops and activities.

• Supporting safeguarding, risk management and good governance.

• Developing our policies, procedures and operational systems.

• Helping establish strong monitoring, evaluation and impact measurement.

• Supporting communications, marketing, social media and campaigns.

• Helping Urban Youth build a strong public profile across London.

• Representing Urban Youth at meetings, events and partnership opportunities.

• Identifying opportunities to make better use of empty, unused or underused spaces.

• Bringing your own professional skills, knowledge, networks and ideas to the table.

You won't just be advising from the sidelines.

We want people who want to build.

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR

We're looking for people who are:

• Passionate about young people and their potential.

• Positive, energetic and solutions-focused.

• Reliable and committed.

• Comfortable taking initiative.

• Able to work collaboratively.

• Good communicators.

• Willing to share ideas and listen to others.

• Comfortable working in a developing organisation where things will evolve.

• Able to bring either professional experience, specialist knowledge, community experience or valuable networks.

• Committed to equality, diversity, inclusion and safeguarding.

• Excited by Urban Youth's vision of taking youth work into the heart of London.

You do not need to have experience in every area listed above.

We are building a diverse leadership team with complementary skills.

Bring what you're good at. Bring what you've learned. Bring your ideas.

WE PARTICULARLY WELCOME EXPERTISE IN

We are especially interested in volunteers with experience in:

1. Leadership & Strategy

Organisational development, strategic planning, charity development or social enterprise.

2. Youth Work & Community Development

Youth work, community engagement, outreach, education, mentoring or participation.

3. Fundraising & Partnerships

We still want to hear from you.

WHY JOIN URBANYOUTH

Because this isn't about simply adding another volunteering role to your CV.

It's about helping create something that could make a real difference to the lives of young people across London.

YOU'LL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO:

• Help shape a new charity from the beginning.

• Take on meaningful leadership responsibility.

• Use your professional skills for social good.

• Build new relationships and networks.

• Develop your leadership and community experience.

• Work alongside passionate volunteers and community partners.

• Help create genuinely accessible opportunities for young people.

• Be part of a bold new movement for youth work in London.

Most importantly:

You'll help create spaces where young people can show up, be themselves, discover what they're capable of and believe in what's possible.

WHAT WE OFFER OUR VOLUNTEERS

Urban Youth is committed to creating a positive, inclusive and supportive volunteering experience.

Volunteers will receive:

• A clear volunteer role and expectations.

• An induction into Urban Youth.

• Appropriate training and development opportunities.

• Ongoing support from the leadership team.

• Opportunities to develop new skills and experience.

• Opportunities to contribute to projects that match your interests and expertise.

• A welcoming and inclusive environment.

We recognise that volunteering should not leave people out of pocket, and we will work to remove practical barriers to participation wherever possible.

SAFEGUARDING

Urban Youth is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people, volunteers and everyone involved in our work.

All volunteers are expected to uphold our safeguarding policies, code of conduct and other relevant policies and procedures.

Where a particular volunteering activity requires a DBS check or other safeguarding checks, these will be identified and completed as appropriate to the role.

EQUALITY, DIVERSITY & INCLUSION

Urban Youth wants to build a leadership team that reflects the diversity of London.

We welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, ages, abilities and experiences.

We particularly value the different perspectives that come from lived experience, professional experience and connection with London's communities.

You don't have to look like everyone else to belong at Urban Youth.

In fact, we think London's diversity is one of its greatest strengths.

THE COMMITMENT

This is a flexible volunteer leadership role.

We understand that people volunteer alongside work, study, caring responsibilities and other commitments.

The exact time commitment will depend on your role and availability, but we are looking for people who can make a reliable and meaningful ongoing contribution.

Some leadership activities may take place online, while others will involve meeting in person or representing Urban Youth across London.

READY TO HELP CHANGE THE CITY?

London has no shortage of young people with talent, creativity, ambition and potential.

What it sometimes lacks is;

• Somewhere to go.
• Somewhere to be heard.
• Somewhere to belong.
• Somewhere to try something new.

Urban Youth wants to change that.

• We want to take youth work out of the building and into the city.
• Into the places others overlook.
• Into the spaces that are empty.
• Into the communities that deserve more.

And we want you to help us do it.

Your experience. Your skills. Your ideas. Your time.

Their future.

As the Resource Alliance enters its next phase of development, we are seeking individuals who share our belief in the power of collaboration, generosity and collective action to address some of the world's most pressing challenges.

Our trustees play a critical role in shaping the strategic direction of the organisation, supporting innovation and sustainability, and ensuring that the Resource Alliance continues to serve and strengthen the communities and movements at the heart of social change.

Our Cat Fosterers play a vital role by providing a temporary, loving home for cats that are in the care of the RSPCA.

Why we want you 

We are the RSPCA South Bucks Branch and it's our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion. Our volunteer fosterers are incredible, they play an essential role in helping us carry out our important animal welfare work by caring for cats and enabling them to be rehomed. 

You could be fostering an animal for just a few weeks, or it could be a longer term placement for several months and in a few cases it can be longer. 

What you will be doing

Feeding, watering, providing enrichment, socialising and grooming cats (as appropriate).

Some cats may have had surgery and will need a period of cage rest. This will be provided.

Your family/household must be fully supportive (and checked/confirmed that there are no cat allergies within the household).

All members of the household should discuss with their GP whether a tetanus vaccination is required, and make a decision based on this.

Transporting your foster cat safely for vet appointments.

Allowing a potential adopter to enter your home to view a cat up for adoption after they have been assessed by the cat co-ordinator, a volunteer can support you in this. 

Completing the local branch paperwork relating to the cats in your care.

The skills you need 

Volunteers must be aged 18 or over. 

Previous experience of fostering would be beneficial, and experience caring for cats is essential. 

If you have existing cats, they must be spayed/neutered and vaccinated. 

If in rented accommodation, permission from the landlord must be obtained. 

You must live in South Buckinghamshire or close to Chesham.

Volunteers must complete an online induction, you will need to have basic IT skills and access to a PC or laptop, or have someone who can help you carry out the induction. 

What's in it for you 

Meet like-minded people and get to know more about the work of the RSPCA South Bucks Branch.

Add an important animal welfare role to your CV.

A great induction and training relevant to your role. 

Support from our local and national teams.

You’ll be making a huge difference to the welfare of animals. 

What we provide you

We provide all the food, litter, medication and equipment needed to foster cats in our branch. Any other expenses must be agreed in advance with the Finance Manager.

A community of local fosterers to draw support and information.

Regular contact with your cat coordinator to support you.
