Now-u is a non-profit website and app, launched in July 2020 with a mission to inform, involve and inspire people to help tackle some of the world's most pressing environmental and social problems related to i) human rights and welfare, ii) protecting the world around us, and iii) preserving our species and the planet.
Some of our past campaigns:
- Promoting Zero Waste
- Tackling modern slavery across the globe
- Improving disability equality in the UK
- Improving mental health in the UK
- Supporting people facing homelessness in the UK
Through promotion we also engage with users of our app and website. By giving people actionable opportunities to help further the cause of our chosen campaigns (i.e. donating to certain charities, writing to your local MP, links to sign petitions), we work to create an engaging space whereby anyone can help contribute and tackle some of the challenges we face today.
How we create a campaign:
- The team looks at what issues would be best to tackle for a particular month
- It considers multiple factors: Recent developments impacting charitable causes, public and media attention, upcoming parliamentary debates and more
- We prepare a proposal for the campaign, gathering info, learning materials and suggested actions to complete
- We then reach out to charities and social enterprises to work with us
- They suggest improvements, and propose actions to support their work
- We prepare all these materials to be presented in accessible and engaging ways on the app
- We use other supporting materials like campaign videos, blog articles and social media
The role
What we are looking for
-
Ability to write engaging and persuasive copy
-
Strong interest in social and environmental causes
-
Experience researching and writing articles or blogs (or other similar formats)
-
Skill in writing nuanced, well-researched pieces
Your role
-
Helping now-u’s copywriting needs, primarily blogs, but could also include other formats such as newsletters, press releases and website copy
-
Writing materials that are aligned with our style guide and organisational tone of voice
-
Working alongside the marketing team to create engaging content that grows the now-u audience and user base
-
Keeping track of now-u’s copywriting requests and helping to review and update pieces as required
Experience and skills needed
Essential: copywriting experience at an entry/senior level
Desirable: marketing experience and a diverse portfolio of written work also at an entry/senior level
This is an opportunity to provide really important support to a new project that we hope could really make a positive difference in the world. You would also become part of a small friendly volunteer team who would love to work collaboratively on any other ideas you may have regarding the app.
We look forward to hearing from you!

The role
We are looking for a Researcher to join our Campaigns team. The role will involve researching a range of important social, economic, and environmental issues, and then writing up your findings in a way that’s informative yet engaging. Supporting both the Head of Campaigns and Campaign Manager, our Researchers are essential to the creation of all content within the now-u app.
What you will be doing
Our Campaigns span every issue imaginable – from LGBTQ+ rights to anti-racism, from saving our oceans to promoting sustainable transport, and from helping those in poverty to protecting refugees. As one of our Researchers, you will be charged with not only providing information on these global issues, but also connecting our users with charities across the UK so that they might help make a difference. This could entail finding volunteering opportunities, reliable donation points, or petitions that need signing – the possibilities are endless.
Once the research is done, you will need to curate your findings into what we call a ‘Campaign’ and produce copywriting that sets out the Campaign’s purpose in a way that will affect our users and inspire them to get involved – and then to return to the app again and again!
We also have a news section within the app, sharing articles on the most important issues. We are looking, therefore, for someone that keeps an eye on the various media platforms, knows what’s happening, and is able to be reactive to the latest stories for publishing.
Other responsibilities may include working with our partnerships and social media teams to ensure that our partner charities are being effectively supported and that key Campaigns are being shared across our channels.
*This role will be voluntary and thus unpaid*
What you will need
To be successful in the role as a Researcher, you will ideally have experience working in content – either as a writer or researcher – or working for a non-profit organisation. As a team made up entirely of volunteers, we are self-motivated and proactive about getting our work done with a shared passion for the app’s potential to have a real impact. You are creative with a flair for language, but simultaneously analytical and strategic about your approach to a task.
Our working hours are flexible, usually 3-5 hours a week, and the Campaigns team likes to get together once a fortnight to discuss what we’re working on and any upcoming priorities.
Volunteering with now-u is an opportunity to provide really important support to a new project that we hope could really make a positive difference in the world. You would also become part of a small friendly volunteer team who would love to work collaboratively.
