Understanding the Verticals at Barawak
Imagine Barawak as a living, thriving tree. Our verticals are like the main branches—each one strong and important, reaching out in its own direction but all connected to the same trunk, our community's mission. These four powerhouse teams each have a special job:

Working together, they make sure we're all pushing in the same direction—towards a future where our community stands tall and proud.

Do you have a passion for organising social groups and meeting new people? Want a flexible voluntary role that allows you to make a difference to peoples’ lives? Then this is for you!
We are looking for volunteers who enjoy meeting and talking to new people and would be willing to help us set up a new group in their area.
What would I do?
Following the success of the new groups in Hertfordshire, we are recruiting volunteers across the country to set up new NWR groups in their area. These NWR groups will meet for conversation and informal discussions in a local cafe or pub with a set theme – this theme acts as an icebreaker and ensures that no two meetings feel the same! Themes could cover a wide range of topics and are designed to be light-hearted and an opener for conversations that could lead anywhere (and usually do!).
Your role would be to run the meetings – greeting new and existing members, ensuring that the meetings run smoothly and everyone feels welcome, included and is having fun.
You would be asked to:
• Work with NWR staff to identify which town/city to base your group in
• Consider the types of women who would be interested in your group. What would suit them in terms of the time, location and format of the meetings? How should we communicate to them about the new group? Our staff will be able to provide guidance using their wealth of experience in setting up and running groups.
• Schedule meetings and identify and arrange a suitable venue.
• Run the meetings, ensuring that everyone is made to feel welcome and has an opportunity to contribute if they want to. Promote the benefits of NWR membership.
We will:
• Offer you ideas and advice in all areas of running the meetings and managing the group.
• Write and launch a social media and marketing campaign to recruit members for your group.
• Respond to enquiries and maintain lists of those interested in attending.
The amount of time spent will vary from week to week. It is estimated that it will require 2 hours a month. The hours are flexible and can fit in with your existing commitments.
This opportunity is open to women living in the UK over the age of 18 who are able to travel to the meetings in the evening.
Travel expenses will not be reimbursed.
You will be provided with full training and support from NWR staff and will be part of a friendly and supportive network of volunteers from across the country.
Please include in your covering letter why you are interested in the role.

Are you experienced at setting up geocaches? Are you based around Barrow? Then we’d love you to help create caches to connect people with nature!
Locations: Barrow, but lots of this can be done remotely.
Commitment: Flexible – it could be a couple of hours a month or a few hours a week depending on how much you wish to do.
The Bay: A Blueprint For Recovery aims to connect people with nature and with each other – and what better way to do this than through geocaching?!
Geocaching is a global treasure hunt, where participants search for ‘geocaches’ using the free geocaching app and a clue. These geocaches are placed in locations that are scenic and interesting and the geocaches are often educational.
We’re looking for experienced geocachers to help design, create, and maintain geocaches around Barrow. Possible designs could include:
- Placing geocaches around natural areas of Barrow, e.g. Ormsgill Reservoir, How Tun Woods, etc. to encourage people to get out into nature.
- Working with Signal Film and Media (a Barrow-based organisation) to create an Adventure Lab cache, using historical photos and encouraging people to visit the present-day locations.
- Using a series of geocaches or an Adventure Lab cache to put a codebreaking challenge (already created) based around Alan Turing’s work on biological patterns in nature around Barrow and turn it into a cache.
Other ideas are very welcome!
