Make a lasting impact on future generations and your community, by becoming a governor for your local college.
Peridot Partners have partnered with the Department of Education to revolutionise the education governance sector, by appointing 137 new governors to college boards across England.
Education governors come from all backgrounds and sectors with either professional or lived experience that can help the board to make their decisions. A passion for education and future generations is a must, but you don’t need to have any experience in the education sector to become a governor.
Being an education governor or trustee is a rewarding and fulfilling venture for any of us.

As an education governor, you will draw on the professional experience of your working career and your own life experiences to support and challenge the strategic direction of the organisation. You will reflect on the lessons that you have learnt through education, work and life to ask questions and understand how decisions being made on an operational level will and could impact the students and their potential for achievement.
Peridot Partners and the Department of Education are, together, committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and our client expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment. The successful candidate(s) will be subject to an enhanced DBS check and satisfactory references before any final offer can be made.

About Bookmark
Bookmark exists to change children’s life stories through the joy of reading. We partner with schools to develop whole school reading cultures and to provide one-to-one reading support.
For the children who need us, we’re changing their story.
About the role
Each year, one in four children leave primary school unable to read well and disadvantaged children are disproportionately affected. Struggling to read can contribute to poor educational attainment, lower literacy in adulthood and has even been linked to a lower life expectancy.
Bookmark volunteers spend one hour a week reading stories and playing games with a child aged between five and ten years old, on our secure online platform. The programme involves two 30-minute sessions a week with the same child, for six weeks. You book your programme through the Bookmark Volunteer Hub and select sessions at times that work with your schedule.
“It was such a wonderful experience. I was very happy knowing that I was helping someone. The child really improved a lot during the 6 weeks. It was really rewarding for me to see the improvement.” — Joe, Bookmark volunteer
Why volunteer with Bookmark?
New government data shows that attainment fell further for poorer pupils this year which has widened the attainment to the largest it has been in 10 years.
As a Bookmark volunteer, you’ll help to bridge this gap. You’ll:
- Help children who struggle with their reading gain essential skills at a crucial age. This will prepare them to move up the school, ready to tackle new challenges without falling further behind. Three quarters of our volunteers noticed their reader become more confident with their reading.
- Make learning to read fun by bringing your own personality into the sessions and getting to know your reader’s interests. It’s amazing when you introduce a book, comic or poem for the first time that they love! 90% of teachers said that pupils enjoy reading more after our programme.
- Give a child one-to-one attention and be a role model. Teachers have told us that children really benefit from this dedicated time and found it boosted their self-esteem and confidence as well as their reading. You can read more about this in our Impact Report.
Helping a child with their reading is also really fun and rewarding. Over 60% of our volunteers said their own wellbeing had improved because of volunteering with Bookmark.
Is volunteering with Bookmark right for me?
Our volunteers are all ages and from all walks of life. At Bookmark we aim to make volunteering accessible to as many people as possible, so we can help more children.
- Are you over 18 and currently living in the UK?
- Are you passionate about literacy and its importance?
- Are you able to show enthusiasm, encouragement, empathy and patience?
- Can you commit to two 30-minute sessions a week, for six consecutive weeks?
- Are you willing to complete at least 3 six-week programmes a year?
- Can you provide two references for your application (for safeguarding reasons)?
- Do you have access to a PC, laptop or Chromebook with a webcam and internet connection (iPads, phones and/or tablets are not compatible), and do you feel relatively comfortable using technology?
- If NO, then you can still apply to be to volunteer on our face-to-face programmes in certain locations.

Herts Disability Sports Foundation (HDSF) is looking to develop a New Income Generating Strategy which will ensure we can be a long term player in delivering physical activities for children and adults with physical and learning disabilities. We are seeking an experienced fundraiser who will work with us on this project to support HDSF, using their knowledge and experience in the charity sector.
HDSF is a relatively small charity working to support adults and children in Hertfordshire with physical and/or learning disabilities to participate in recreational sporting activities. Our mission is to “Provide and support opportunities in sports and physical activity that can be accessed by everyone, whether it be through participation, volunteering coaching or education in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.”
We work with a diverse range of partners including Day Services, special schools and community groups to provide a variety of sports/physical activities. These include online sessions, boxercise, water sports, holiday activities (which include siblings) and adapted cycling. Our team is small – just 10 people in a mix of full time and part time roles. More information on our work can be found on our website.
What will you be doing?
Our goal is to diversify our income streams and become a more sustainable organisation. HDSF has a successful track record of grant funding and generating earned income from activities, since HDSF was created 10 years ago, but sourcing funding for core costs and new projects has become more difficult in the current climate.
Using your knowledge and experience of Fundraising at a senior level, we would like you to;
- support HDSF to develop a diverse fundraising strategy,
- identify and prioritise potential types of income streams for short and long term development,
- work with the SMT to develop a Fundraising plan to realise new sources of income.
We are particularly interested in direct fundraising and corporate partnerships.
Resources
We will provide you with a range of organisational information and financial data on past performance. You will have time with the SMT, relevant Trustees and the Business Working Group. The key point of contact will be the Chief Operating Officer who will ensure you have access to resources needed to complete the project.
Timeline
We anticipate this project will take approximately 3 months but will work with the successful volunteer to agree project milestones and timescales.
This could be an ongoing voluntary role if this first project is a success for both parties.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a volunteer who is experienced in Charity Fundraising at a strategic level, with practical experience of at least one of the following areas; corporate partnerships, major gifts, individual giving and legacies. The volunteer would have knowledge of fundraising policies and legislation relevant to the UK charity sector. They would be skilled in communicating ideas and strategies, with a professional and ethical approach to their work.
Lived experience of the disability community would be an advantage, but a real enthusiasm to contribute to the growth of HDSF is essential.
What difference will you make?
By securing new funding streams we could expand the range of activities we offer, reach more of our beneficiaries by providing more community based activities - we already have the ideas, we need your help to make them achievable!
How to apply
If you are interested in this volunteering role - please email the Chief Operating Officer telling us why this opportunity interests you and what you believe you could bring to the role. A copy of your CV would be really helpful.
Please note that as part of our Safeguarding procedures, all successful volunteers are required to supply references and provide necessary documentation to receive Enhanced DBS clearance. HDSF is actively working towards certification as a Disability Confident Employer.

1625 Independent People (1625ip) has been working with young people in the South West for over 40 years. They are award winning experts in providing services for young homeless people, care leavers, those at risk and young people who offend. Despite multiple and complex needs, over 80% of the young people they support go on to succeed.
They provide much more than just a safe home for young people. They give them a network of people they can trust and a range of specialist support in areas, for example mental health and jobs coaching. A major part of their work is supporting young people into Education, Employment and Training. They offer young people opportunities they’ve never had, giving them a chance to believe in themselves, take healthy risks and to play a positive part in their communities.
2024 onwards is an unbelievably exciting time for 1625ip, as, alongside their excellent day to day work, they have some major projects in their early stages including the renovation of their grade 2 listed HQ Kingsley Hall on old Market with a cafe and new training spaces.
They are now seeking the following:
· One Fundraising Expert – with significant high-level experience in charity fundraising.
· One expert in any field but we are particularly interested in those with experience of one or more of the following: commercial, community or social enterprises; senior roles in housing management or social care.
· We welcome applications from first time Director/ Trustees and will provide full induction and support.
As a Board Member, you will use your skills, knowledge and experience to work collaboratively with the organisation’s Executive team to achieve the highest standards of operational performance throughout 1625ip.
You will be supported on your Board Member journey by a full induction programme and the opportunity to have a Board Buddy to help settle into your new role.
There are 5 evening Board meetings a year, 3-4 additional committee meetings (most in the evenings), an away day and several events with young people who use our services. The young people events are optional but are very informative and fun.
To access the Information Pack and submit an application, please contact Vanessa Moon or Sandy Hinks
Equal opportunities for everyone
1625ip believe those with a criminal record should have an equal chance to become employees or volunteers and encourage applications.
As an organisation who safeguard and promote the safety and welfare of children, young people and adults at risk, any job offer will depend on a satisfactory DBS (Disclosure and Barring Service) check. We comply fully with the DBS code of practice and undertake to treat all applications for positions fairly. For successful candidates with a criminal record, a risk assessment process will take place with the recruiting manager.
We also pride ourselves on being an equal opportunities employer for everyone regardless of age, disability, gender identity, race, religion and beliefs, sex and sexual orientation.
What young people say
“I feel like I am able to get on with stuff better now even though sometimes I might not feel up to it and I don’t think I’d be working in this job if it wasn’t for 1625’s help.”
“The heritage project has opened me up to new experiences I would never have thought I would get from cooking, and zine making to photography. I love to see where the project will go in the future.”
1625 Independent People has retained Moon Executive Search to manage this campaign and are therefore unable to accept CVs from third party agencies. All CV’s and expression of interest received will be forwarded directly to Moon Executive Search for consideration
