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.
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.
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.

EVENTS VOLUNTEER (Guildford & Epsom Branch)
We are the RSPCA and it's our vision to live in a world where all animals are respected and treated with compassion. Our volunteers are incredible and play an absolutely essential role in helping us carry out our important animal welfare work every day. Much of the RSPCA’s direct animal welfare work is carried out through the branches. These separately registered charities across England and Wales are run by volunteers who are unstinting in their work for animal welfare.
We are looking for friendly volunteers to help fundraise at fetes, in supermarkets and other outlets to collect vital donations that enable us to continue our animal welfare work. The more volunteers we have and funds we can raise, the more animals we can help!
Overview of the opportunity
In this role, you will be the friendly face of the RSPCA, helping us raise funds for our branch at community fetes and in local high streets, supermarkets and similar outlets.
This varied role offers you the chance to experience different volunteering positions, ranging from street collections and in-store fundraising drives to attendance at local community fetes. Each of these events are equally important to raising vital funds as well as raising our profile in the community.
Volunteering at events offers you the opportunity to meet other volunteers and learn about how you each support the RSPCA. You will most likely meet animals that we have rehomed and hear about their adoption journey.
If you have a relaxed dog that likes meeting people, you are welcome to bring them along with you to street collections and fundraising drives as this is always a conversation starter!
Location is dependent on the event at which you choose to volunteer, you will be out in the community in the local area

- Helping seek out event opportunities and organising them.
The skills you need
- No experience is necessary as we will provide you with the guidance you need.
- Reliability and commitment.
- Good organisational and communication skills.
- Enjoy working with the general public.
- Enthusiasm and passion for the work of the RSPCA.
- We ask for a minimum of one hour of your time - we recommend a maximum of 2 hours at any one event as you will be standing.
- You will need to be aged 18 years old or over to volunteer in this role unless you can be accompanied by an adult.
What's in it for you
- Meet new people and make new friends
- Learn great new skills to add to your CV
- A great induction and training relevant to your role
- Volunteer in a fun environment at the heart of the local community
- You'll be making a huge difference to the welfare of animals

Before you can start volunteering you’ll need to complete our simple online Health & Safety course and any associated training required for your role. Our voluntary roles are subject to an informal interview and trial period. We will ask you to provide contact details for two referees and depending on the position you may be required to sign an agreement and undergo specific training before starting the role.

With our Head Office based in Walton on Thames, Surrey, our charity offers practical and emotional support to families across the Borough of Elmbridge who are struggling to cope for a variety of reasons. We’re there for parents when they need us the most, because childhood can’t wait.
The role of Trustee is an important one – bringing the requiredgovernance and strategic guidance that every charity needs to run successfully and ethically. Home-Start Elmbridge Trustees typically attend a two-hour Board meeting every six weeks and provide strategic and governance support as and when required.

However, we are also open to applications from people with different skills sets and professional backgrounds.
The most important attribute that a Trustee can bring to our Board is a passion for improving the lives of children. The role of Trustee is a voluntary one and as such is rewarded by knowing that the time and commitment you bring to the Board directly results in more families getting the vital support they need, so they stand the best chance of providing a nurturing and safe home for their children.
If you feel that that you could offer your time and expertise to the Home-Start Elmbridge Board and would like to find out more about the Trustee role, please get in touch with our Chair, Kathy Clark, to arrange a short telephone conversation.

Why join us? Make-A-Wish UK brings amazing people together to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical conditions. We work with wish children, their families, and medical teams to make unforgettable wishes a reality – like a child getting to be a princess in their own castle, cooking with their favourite celebrity chef, and even becoming a Ghostbuster to save the city of Leeds!
Join our volunteering community now and make a lasting difference by donating your time to grant wishes – it’s honestly one of the most magical experiences you’ll ever have!
Why We Need Your Help We are granting a record number of wishes, providing families with a precious opportunity to rescue the magic of childhood as quickly as we can. But demand for wishes is far outpacing our best efforts to keep up, so it’s taking longer than ever to grant wishes to children and families who are facing some of their toughest and most relentless times together.
By volunteering, you have the power to make a wish come true for a critically ill child, allowing families to create lasting memories to treasure forever – no matter what the future holds.
What you will be doing With the demand for wishes being so high, we urgently need to generate vital support to help us to say yes to every eligible child, and that’s where you come in! Once our expert team of Wishgranters have designed a child’s magical wish, we need your time, skills, passion and energy to bring that wish to life and make it a reality!
We need Wish Makers across the UK to help us to:
- Research and reach out to local companies, telling them about the children that are waiting for their wishes right now in their region and asking them to donate their services and goods such as a limousine ride or a hotel stay so that a local child’s wish can come true.
- Rally and inspire your community to raise funds to help pay for the rising cost of wishes, meaning that more children can have their wishes granted in as short a timescale as possible, and they can be part of making that magic happen!
- Work as a team with your fellow local volunteers to organise fundraising events such as balls, school sports days, workplace fundraisers etc that will enable more children to have their magical wishes granted by raising vital funds
- Arrange and deliver special gifts in the run up to the wish to add to the excitement and anticipation for the child and their family, and support with the collection and delivery of local donations for the wish itself, which range from princess costumes to balloons!
- Identify local businesses, community groups and organisations who would be willing to support Make-A-Wish UK and help children waiting in your local region.
- Apply for local funding/Charity of the Year opportunities such as supermarket charity opportunities, local council Mayor’s charities etc that could help to grant more local wishes and be part of something special in your community
- Support our wish families on the day of the wish itself, ensuring everything goes smoothly and everyone involved has a magical experience
The skills you need It truly does take a community of people to grant a wish, and we are looking for special people who want to become part of building these communities around the children that are waiting right now for their wishes to be granted. If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you!
- Confident in approaching a wide range of different people, groups and organisations to ask for donations/support; in person, by phone and through email
- Warm, friendly and comfortable interacting with others to create the best experience possible, representing our wish children and their families to make communities feel part of our local mission
- Organised and able to think on their feet if needed; able to be pro-active to identify and develop opportunities in their local community
- Confident speaking about our mission in person and/or online and able to adapt to different audience needs
- A basic level of IT skills are essential for this role, and you will also need access to either a computer or smartphone/device
- A commitment to our behaviours and values, always with our wish families at the heart of all you do as a volunteer
What's in it for you We think that volunteering at Make-A-Wish UK is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, as you get to make actual magical wishes come true! But if that’s not enough, here are a few more of the wonderful benefits of donating your time:
- You’ll get active in your local community with some of our other wonderful volunteers – both in person and online
- You’ll be helping local wish families by bringing a child’s unique wish to life through all stages of the wish journey.
- You’ll develop new skills and gain new experiences whilst building new relationships with a diverse range of like-minded wonderful people
- You’ll participate in an interactive and engaging learning and development programme, that fits in around you and your life
- We will help you to build emotional resilience, and increase your levels of wellbeing and self-esteem using our wellness platform and recognition programme
- You’ll have access our volunteer app where you can connect with both Make-A-Wish UK Employees and volunteers across the UK, stay up to date with the latest wishes being granted, sign up for events and activities and access handy resources and training documents
Please note that this is an unpaid volunteer role.
Disclaimer Make-A-Wish is committed to attracting and recruiting diverse candidates as it’s important that our trustees, employees, ambassadors and volunteers reflect the communities we serve at every level within the organisation. The organisation is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expect all volunteers to share this commitment.

We are a social mobility charity focused on helping the next generation of journalists break into the sector.
We have vacancies for chair, treasurer and regular trustee, as the term limit for our current board members is nearly up.
This is a fantastic time to join the charity. We are small but our impact is massive!
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
