ABOUT US
Action Village India (AVI) is a small UK based organisation that since 1989, has been supporting Indian partner organisations who work alongside villagers in some of the most remote parts of rural India so they can improve their lives, livelihoods and resilience. We work towards an India which is just, fair and inclusive, where all people regardless of sex, gender identity, ethnicity, caste, religion can benefit from the country’s economic development and lift themselves out of poverty.
At the heart of our work, are our partnerships; many of which have spanned decades. Our partner organisations are led by Indians and whether these are large or small organisations, or social movements, all work directly at the grassroots level across rural India – from Bihar and Jharkhand in the North, in Odisha and down to Tamil Nadu in the South. The communities they work with, are some of the poorest in India. They are experts in their fields and work hand in hand with local people to design and inform projects to best serve their local communities and secure rights and social justice for women, men and children.
We accompany our partners for the long term, solidarity with our partners and their communities is at the core of how we work. This means we have developed relationships over the years, based on mutual respect, reciprocity and transparency. We are not governed by donor funding cycles and agendas but are led by our partners and the needs they identify and are committed to shared learning and collaboration. We keep our UK costs to a minimum with core staff and rely on an active and engaged set of Trustees, volunteers and supporters.

- Highly organised and attentive to detail, with the ability to balance, keep track of and deliver on competing priorities to deadlines
- A good communicator able to promote LabourList in person and in writing, and to build and maintain good relations and work collaboratively with key stakeholders – from event or ad partners and MPs to LabourList colleagues and board members
- Able to adapt and learn quickly in a varied role where duties could evolve in a fast-moving political and media environment
- Available to work at Labour party conference in September 2025 (and ideally to attend at least part of Labour conference this year to see our work)

Context and background:
There are 1.5 million children and young people with a disability (CYPD) in the UK. Over 3/4 cannot access regular leisure facilities which massively impacts their health and well-being. Furthermore, the impact of living with a disability can have a significant impact on the wider family, with over 72% of parents reporting mental health challenges and over two thirds saying they feel isolated some or all of the time.
Gympanzees’ mission is simple. We want all children and young people living with any disability to have access to high-quality, fully inclusive leisure facilities so that they can enjoy fun, fitness, and friendships and support their families out of isolation.
Sounds simple, but it’s a huge task. There is nowhere in the UK like this. Anywhere. At all. But we’re changing that, and we want you to join us!
Since 2018 we’ve been hosting Pop Up’s during easter and summer months, across Bristol, in various special schools which has seen us welcome over 23,500 visitors. Each one has helped hone and improve our delivery model, and longer-term plans. These Pop Ups have seen some incredible firsts, including:
-
A 6-year-old taking their first steps
-
A 12-year-old sleeping through the night for the first time
-
A 3-year-old having his first laugh
-
An 18-year-old standing independently for the first time
Families have travelled from all over the country to enjoy the Pop Ups, some covering 6-hour journeys just for their afternoon of fun!
During COVID we quickly adapted our offer to include a Lending Library which continues to this day, offering nearly 300 items of specialist equipment, free of charge.
In 2023 we purchased a new site to develop into a permanent home which will open in summer 2026. Redevelopment is underway, and so too is an £8 million campaign to support this extraordinary project.
This will be a game changer for the children and families we support. Truly transformational and life-changing. Want to be part of it?

Contract: FTE. Fixed term up to August 2025 with the opportunity to extend.
About Black Thrive
Black Thrive Global (BTG) evolved from the work of the Black Thrive Lambeth Partnership, which was established in 2016. We exist to address the inequalities that negatively impact the mental health and wellbeing of Black people so that the thriving of Black communities is the norm.
Our guiding principle is that Black communities should be at the forefront of reimagining, redefining and co-creating a society where systemic racism and other oppressive systems have been dismantled so that they have fulfilling lives. We have two priorities – building a Black Thrive Research Institute and embedding race equity in systems change.
In September 2021 we launched our Thriving Futures Collective which has expanded the work of Black Thrive Lambeth and launched Black Thrive in Haringey and Birmingham, with Mind in Haringey and Catalyst4Change as our partners.
We have grown rapidly since 2021 and so still have a start-up culture and often deal with competing priorities at a fast pace. As such we are seeking team members who can be responsive to change, adapt seamlessly to evolving projects, uphold momentum in their work, and remain steadfast in their commitment to the broader organisational purpose.
Purpose of the role
As the Programme and Partnerships Manager = Thriving Futures, you will play a crucial role in overseeing the implementation of the Thriving Futures programme, ensuring effective collaboration with partner organisations to advance Black Thrive’s mission. Relationship building with the localities teams is an important element of the role.
The Thriving Futures workstream is undergoing a strategic shift, focusing on key areas identified during its three years of operation. This includes intentional co-learning, community feedback through Black Thrive Community Assemblies, development of community metrics, and refining our role and offerings as a backbone organisation.
The role entails managing the programme’s day to day activities, ensuring alignment with the programme's objectives and goals, procuring additional funding resources and managing a Project Officer. You can anticipate working with different combinations of Black Thrive locality workstreams. Your responsibilities will vary, encompassing project management, financial oversight, strategic development, communications activities, as well as engaging in learning, reflection activities and research.
The role also has responsibility for assisting in writing and delivering grant applications and bids to major funders to secure funding to support the work of the programme.
Duties and responsibilities
- Lead on the planning, execution and monitoring for delivering the Black Thrive Global Thriving Futures programme and other activities related to the achievement of the programme objectives and milestones.
-
Engage with and provide support to the Thriving Futures Collective partners (Lambeth, Haringey and Birmingham), staying informed about their activities and aligning initiatives with project requirements.
- Develop and deliver comprehensive project plans, schedules and budgets to ensure timely and efficient delivery of projects. While maintaining meticulous administrative and electronic systems to ensure the fulfilment of key project deliverables and dependencies, aligning with project goals and timelines.
-
Provide guidance, support and supervision to the Thriving Futures Project Officer responsible for supporting the programme’s operations.
- Develop and execute fundraising strategies to secure additional financial resources for the Thriving Futures programme. Explore opportunities to package programme initiatives for income generation.
- Oversee data collection, analysis and reporting and lead on collaboration with partners to develop methodologies for transforming community feedback into actionable metrics.
- Assess and enhance support structures provided by Black Thrive Global as a backbone organisation, determining the needs of localities and the available support resources available.
- Develop evidenced frameworks informed by locality learnings and research findings that contribute to creating nuanced models of race equity systems change.
- Identify and foster external collaboration opportunities and stay informed about relevant external projects, initiatives, research, policies and practices.
- Participate in continuous improvement initiatives, actively engaging in activities designed to enhance organisational learning and development.
- Collaborate with the Thriving Futures Collective partners to establish a comprehensive methodology for transforming community concerns gathered into actionable community metrics.
- Explore and establish meaningful and engaging content for internal and external blog posts and digital content across our communication channels to ensure effective communication of Thriving Futures work to relevant audiences.
- Produce and deliver presentations, reports and other material relevant to the role, including at Black Thrive Community Assemblies, Board meetings and for funders.
- Oversee financial management and programme governance, including consolidating financial and narrative reporting across Black Thrive localities for dissemination to partners and stakeholders.
- Spend up to 10% of time supporting corporate business, such as strategy and administration.
