Ecoswap

Ecoswap is a platform for sustainable gifting, offering eco-friendly gift cards that help individuals and businesses reduce waste and align with their environmental values.

At Ecoswap, we address the environmental challenges posed by traditional gifting practices, which often lead to waste, overconsumption, and reliance on unsustainable products. Globally, the gifting industry contributes significantly to pollution, resource depletion, and carbon emissions, exacerbating the climate crisis.

Key Social/Environmental Challenges: -Resource Waste: Single-use wrapping materials and unsustainable products generate excessive waste, much of which ends up in landfills or oceans. -Consumer Confusion: Many consumers want to make sustainable choices but struggle to find eco-friendly alternatives. -Corporate Misalignment: Businesses aiming to meet their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) goals face limited options for sustainable gifting that align with their values. -Overconsumption: Traditional gifting promotes a culture of excess, neglecting the environmental impact of mass-produced, non-recyclable goods.

By providing sustainable and meaningful gifting solutions, Ecoswap empowers individuals and organisations to reduce their environmental footprint, foster conscious consumption, and align with a greener future. Together, we’re transforming gifting into a force for good.

EcoSwap provides an innovative platform for sustainable gifting that aligns with environmental values and promotes conscious consumption. This is done via a multi-choice gift card which enables recipients to trade their ecoswap funds for gift cards from sustainable and ethical brands or donate it towards charities and impactful causes.

Key Features of Our Solution: Eco-Friendly Product Marketplace We curate a range of high-quality, sustainable gifts made by environmentally responsible businesses. These include plastic-free, upcycled, and locally sourced options that prioritise the planet.

Digital Gifting Experience Our platform eliminates wasteful packaging by digitizing the gifting process, offering virtual gift cards and personalised experiences, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

Corporate Solutions for ESG Goals We help businesses integrate sustainability into their gifting strategies, supporting employee and client engagement programs while meeting ESG objectives.

Guided Choices for Consumers EcoSwap simplifies sustainable gifting by guiding users toward thoughtful, low-impact options, addressing consumer confusion and driving eco-conscious decisions. Impact Tracking

By redefining the gifting experience, Ecoswap empowers individuals and organisations to celebrate moments that matter while protecting the planet for future generations.

Your research will help PAL connect with potential donors, campaign amplifiers, and individuals who can make warm introductions. Tasks include online research via social media, professional networks, and publications; recording findings in a structured spreadsheet; and tracking your volunteer hours.

About Access Academia

Access Academia is the charitable umbrella which was created out of the creation of the student-led publication, the Journal of Intersectional Social Justice. When Journal of Intersectional Social Justice (JISJ) was created, there were not any expectations for the project to be any more than that: a student-led academic publication. However, as it rolled on, attention for the project widened and it began to cover other topics and get involved in other realms of knowledge sharing, activism, and content creation. The creation of the seminal Access Series on the Intersections blog springboarded the idea for the JISJ to turn into something much more than a simple academic publication. Now as we have restructured the JISJ into Access Academia, we are finalising our official registration as a charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) in the UK. 

Our core purpose is to Make Academia More Accessible. We plan to accomplish this by many different avenues, as obviously it is a very wide-ranging goal! The main ways we plan to do this are through encouraging Open Access academia and knowledge sharing through the Access Series, expanding the themes covered on Intersections with additions such as Mental Health Mondays and Colonialism in Subject, creating accessible content across our social media platforms which encourages truthful and accurate knowledge sharing and activism, running research events to encourage students to publish and interact with academia, covering inside stories of academia, running student engagement programmes to try and make academia less of an Ivory Tower, and much more!

If you want to make a difference to people living with a mental health condition then we’d love to hear from you!

About us

At The Mental Health Community we use our lived experience to build understanding and support for what it’s like to live and work alongside managing a mental health condition. 

We know that it can be difficult to get, or keep a job if your energy levels, how you’re feeling and your ability to go to a place of work every day are affected by a mental health condition like anxiety or depression. But we also know that having a sense of purpose and belonging can really help with the symptoms and impact that mental health conditions can have on you.

Our work is focused on helping people with a mental health condition who are in work or looking for work. We do this by supporting businesses to improve how they look after people, because we know that by creating inclusive and safe spaces at work we make it possible for people with mental ill health to stay in the workplace which helps keep them well and benefits the businesses too.

By joining our board you will be: 

• Making a lasting impact by helping us make more workplaces safe and inclusive for people with a mental health condition
• Shaping the future of our charity as we expand our services and reach more people who need our support
• Using your skills and experience for good by helping guide the strategic direction of our charity.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for at least 4 new trustees to join our team. Whatever your skillset, we’d love to hear from you and there are some areas where we need particular help:

· Treasurer: oversee our financial health, provide guidance on building long term financial plans to help us grow and ensure appropriate financial management.

· Marketing and Communications: strategic oversight of our marketing and communications, raising awareness of our work and reaching new audiences through digital strategies and media engagement.

· Fundraising: develop our fundraising strategy and income streams, including grant applications, corporate sponsorship and campaigns.

· Governance: guide us in operating transparently and effectively whilst maintaining high standards of governance in compliance with our governing document and charity law.

We particularly welcome applications from people with lived experience of mental ill health, young people aged 18-30, people of all socio-economic backgrounds, genders and people from Black, Asian and minority ethnic communities.

About the role

As a board of trustees we meet remotely every 6 weeks, there may be some activity in between meetings so the estimated total time commitment is 4 hours every 6 weeks.

In addition to using your specific skills to develop how we work, all trustees share responsibility for:

· Developing our activities to help us achieve our purpose and positive impact,

· Making sure we are compliant with our governing document and the requirements of the Charity Commission, and

· Being an active member of the board to help us make good decisions

What you can expect from us

We are committed to supporting our Trustees: you can expect an induction to the organisation and trustee role plus any additional conversations and support you need to help you feel confident in your role.

Our meetings are relaxed and informal; there are no expectations of ‘business clothes’, technical jargon or having all the answers.

We welcome and support your preferences for the way we work together, how you like to receive information and how we can make it easier for you to participate actively in our discussions.

One more thing

We know that great trustees come from many backgrounds and with a variety of experiences and that’s great - we really value people who bring different perspectives and add new voices to our team.

But you might not feel you ‘check all the boxes’ as you read this advert or the role description, especially if you’ve been marginalised or excluded. We get it, and we’ve felt like that too. But we hope you’ll apply anyway because we’d love to hear from you and will take care to help you feel welcome and included.

For more information on the role please see the role description.
