At Qube, we offer a telephone befriending service for people who may be at risk of loneliness or isolation so they can enjoy chatting with someone over the phone from the comfort of their home.
Many people feel lonely from time to time. Still, some of us are at a greater risk as other factors contribute to this feeling such as old age, social anxiety, living alone, being unemployed or having caring responsibilities, and many more.
As a volunteer, you would befriend someone who may be isolated or lonely. It's a safe and easy way to get to know someone from the comfort of their own home.
Volunteers will be matched with members of the public who have requested telephone befriending, by one of our team to have a weekly telephone chat together.
What's great about becoming a telephone friend?
It's a free, simple way to give something back through a weekly call to a person in need.
Our dedicated team will match you with someone who has shared interests.
Your calls can make a huge difference to the happiness and wellbeing of the other person.
Time commitment is up to an hour each week.

Foundations is generating and championing actionable evidence that improves services to support family relationships. Could you lead this work as their new Chair?
Location: London
Time commitment: 1-2 days per month
Closing date: 9 a.m. Monday 19th August
Who we are.
Foundations was formed in December 2022 when The Early Intervention Foundation (EIF) and What Works for Children’s Social Care (WWCSC) formally merged, bringing together two sister organisations with a shared mission to use high-quality evidence to improve the lives of vulnerable children.
Foundations reflects the best of the two previous charities and focuses on providing support at the earliest possible stage, remaining deeply rooted in children’s social care practice. By bringing together the talents of both organisations, they have created a unified new team focused on delivering an exciting new strategy.
Over the next five years, Foundations will prioritise five major themes, with an eye always on generating actionable findings that can shape and improve services. These five areas are:
- Supporting parenting
- Strengthening family networks
- Domestic abuse
- Relationships for care experienced people and the service and practice models that underpin all of this
- Service and practice models
This strategy means that Foundations will make long-term investments to find out what works in these fields, focusing on depth over breadth.
Who we are looking for.
The Chair is central to Foundations’s work. They will lead the Board and Chief Executive to ensure Foundations is a high-impact charity, able to generate and champion actionable evidence that improves services to support family relationships for the most vulnerable children.
Foundations need a chair adept at forming and maintaining positive connections and networks in support of the work. The new Chair will be equally at home in conversation with families and frontline services as with the media, funders, or government.
The Chair needs to nurture a light-process, high-impact culture for an organisation increasingly focused and determined to generate actionable evidence about what works.
Foundations’s Chair will:
- Ensure the charity delivers the strategy that Trustees are committed to and that there is continuity in delivering a high-performance culture.
- Lead Trustees in holding the executive team to account for the charity’s mission, providing support and challenge.
- Act as a spokesperson and ambassador – representing Foundations where needed in meetings with central government officials and Ministers, chairing events and developing relationships with people who can help us achieve our impact.
- Review objectives and key results for the Chief Executive, providing coaching support, feeding back on their performance and leading on Chief Executive recruitment if there is a vacancy.
- Facilitate Trustees to actively participate, share divergent views and reach decisions as part of the organisation’s governance. Ensure that the business of Board committees is performed well by respective committee chairs.
- Chair meetings of the Board so they are conducted efficiently and effectively, ensuring that the charity is properly governed.
- Ensure the Board fulfils its duties to ensure the sound financial health of the charity and that the Board’s performance is best serving the impact Foundations is working to achieve.
The new Chair will have:
- Deep interest and personal commitment to improving the quality of foundational relationships for the most vulnerable children.
- Knowledge of the political and policy context of early intervention and children’s social care.
- Extensive experience successfully leading an organisation in a relevant field, with the ability to share this experience as a coach and mentor.
- Act as a prominent and credible public voice for a field of social policy or research and a persuasive champion for causes.
- Experience of contributing to a high-performing board and organisational governance, recognising the boundary between the role of trustees and an executive team.
- Understanding of the financial, structural, and people dimensions of leading an organisation and a commitment to a culture of excellent performance.
- Familiarity with What Works Centres and a commitment to high-quality impact evaluations, and the important role of Randomised Controlled Trials.
- Ability to build relationships with senior stakeholders across a wide range of organisations, including government, to secure sustainable funding.
- Demonstrable experience of promoting equality, diversity and inclusion.

Bristol Hospitality Network works to end the destitution of asylum seekers and refugees in the UK. We are looking for Trustees who are passionate about social justice.
What will you be doing?
We want individuals who are passionate about social justice and believe in the right of displaced and persecuted peoples to seek asylum in the UK. Your sense of fairness and empathy is much more important than any professional background you have. In fact, if you are keen to learn and support our staff team in a particular area of our work, we are happy to support you in developing new skills and an understanding of the asylum system in the UK.
If you are new to being a Trustee, we will give you plenty of support and training and there are plenty of resources we can point you to too.
Our Trustees meet all together 4 times a year (either virtually or in person) for Trustees’ meetings, plus we have an annual general meeting every year.
Our Trustees also take part in sub-groups such as the Finance sub-group, and some take on a governance responsibility like Chair, Treasurer or Secretary, or support an area of work such as hosting or advice or communications etc.
What are we looking for?
Your skills, knowledge and attributes are valuable whatever your background — professional or otherwise. Let us know where your interests lie and what you feel you can bring of yourself to our team.
We do currently have vacancies for particular Trustee roles such as Company Secretary and we would particularly be thrilled if anyone wanted to support our corporate governance and fundraising workstreams.
What difference will you make?
We estimate there are 100 destitute asylum seekers living in Bristol, caught in the loopholes of the system – unable to work and unable to claim benefits. Without an income, these individuals can’t find accommodation. This is an opportunity for the Trustee to join an organisation which extends solidarity to people seeking asylum and experiencing destitution through accommodation and creative community involvement. By joining us as a Trustee, you will help BHN continue its work in benefit of all its members.
Before you apply
The TrusteeWorks Team at Reach Volunteering are supporting BHN with their Trustee recruitment.
Applications should be made via TrusteeWorks in the first instance.
To apply please send your CV/LinkedIn profile along with a supporting statement explaining why you are interested in the role, the skills and experience you will bring to the Board and what you would hope to get out of the role.

We are lookinfgfor Tin Coordinator in Ledbury
Tin Coordinators are responsible for placing, collecting and replacing collection tins in their local area.

Each tin can stay at a location for at least six months before it will need replacing, and you will only be asked to work with tins in your local area so there is no travelling time.
Am I right for the job?
Responsible? There are forms to be filled in and procedures to be followed when handling money
Trustworthy? The money collected needs to be safely brought back to Acorns
Confident? You must be prepared to go into all sorts of establishments to request tin placements
Friendly? You will be representing Acorns in the local community
