As a Silver City Surfers Volunteer Tutor you will support learners with use of their smartphone, tablet or laptop. Enabling older people to embrace technology and gain the confidence to keep learning, improving not just their digital skills but to use the internet to improve their well-being and feel less socially isolated.
Silver City Surfers are supporting members of the community, mostly over 50's who are struggling with the world of IT and accessing the internet. With five drop in sessions at different venues in the city throughout the week, the charity's volunteers are busy helping people with a range of IT related requests. Often it's basic help that's required in getting online and learning how to use a new device, perhaps a smart phone for the first time. Crucially for those who are struggling to access essential services that have now moved fully online, Silver City Surfers are providing a lifeline. We are looking to expand our team of volunteers and help even more people. Many are reaching out as they find themselves in the vulnerable position of being unable to pay bills, make a GP appointment or claim benefits. Our tutors offer their support along with a cup of tea and reassuring chat.
Silver City Surfers is a small local charity which aims to help everyone within the City of Aberdeen and the North East with modern technology.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Support U is a leading LGBTQ+ help and support service based in Reading, servicing the Thames Valley area.
We are looking to revitalise our Trustee Board and require a new Chair of Trustees. This is an exciting opportunity to help take the charity forward and have a real impact on those we support.
What will you be doing?
- General statutory responsibilities as a Trustee (please request candidate pack for further details).
- Specific responsibilities as Chair of Trustees:
- Provide leadership and ensure focus on delivering the organization’s charitable purposes for greater public benefit.
- Chair and facilitate board meetings.
- Direct board policy-making.
- Ensure implementation of meeting decisions.
- Represent the organization at functions and meetings, acting as spokesperson when appropriate.
- Bring impartiality and objectivity to decision-making.
- Plan the annual cycle of board and general meetings, such as the AGM.
- Set agendas for board and general meetings.
- Develop the board of Trustees through induction, training, appraisal, and succession planning.
- Address conflicts within the board and organization, liaising with the Chief Executive if staff are employed.
- This role is mainly office-based
Time Commitment
We have recently navigated a transitional period, which included our longstanding CEO stepping down and changes to the services we provide.
It would therefore be helpful to have someone who has slightly more time available than is typical during this interim period, as we are really looking for someone to lead the Board in deciding what direction Support U decides to move in.
We are currently having monthly Board meetings (which are usually held online) which the Chair is expected to attend.
What are we looking for?
- Leadership skills.
- Experience of committee work.
- Tact and diplomacy.
- Good communication and interpersonal skills.
- Impartiality, fairness and the ability to respect confidences.
In most circumstances, it would also be desirable for the Chair/Vice-Chair to have knowledge of the type of work undertaken by the organisation and a wider involvement with the voluntary sector and other networks.
What difference will you make?
As the potential Chair of Support U, you will have the opportunity to significantly enhance our ability to support LGBTQ+ individuals in Reading and Thames Valley. Your leadership will provide strategic vision, strengthen our existing services, and expand our outreach efforts. By focusing on inclusivity and accessibility, building strong partnerships, and advocating for greater awareness and inclusion of LGBTQ+ issues, you will ensure that Support U remains dedicated to its mission and is well-equipped to meet the evolving needs of our community. Your experience and dedication will be invaluable in driving our organisation forward and making a lasting impact.
Before you apply:
Applications should be made via Reach Volunteering’s TrusteeWorks team in the first instance.
To apply please submit your CV along with a Covering Letter stating why you wish to join the organisation and how your skills and experience would add value to the Board.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.

We are looking for people to help us with our antiquarian, rare and interesting book donations. We need volunteers that would enjoy researching, pricing and listing our more unusual and higher value books. This role would suit somebody who likes a challenge! Books could be fiction or non-fiction, classic or contemporary - but they will all require a bit more work to get them live on the Oxfam online shop. During these uncertain times Oxfam’s work to tackle global poverty is more vital (and more challenging) than ever before. Can you put your book expertise to use to help us raise money to support and empower some of the world’s most vulnerable communities?
What you can do at the shop:
· Stock selection to help us match our listings with our customers’ interests
· Researching rare and valuable books
· Photography and editing
· Creating accurate and engaging online listings
What we can offer:
Oxfam's core values are empowerment, inclusiveness and accountability, and we stand by these in all aspects of our work. When you volunteer with us you will have the opportunity to develop your skills (and enhance your CV) and bring your own ideas into the shop. You will be warmly welcomed and you will feel a sense of ownership over the work you do. We will provide full training, giving you the benefit of our experience. We provide references for our volunteers, and we believe nobody should be out of pocket to volunteer with us, so if you live outside the Cotham area we can help with reasonable travel costs.
What our team have to say about working at the shop:
“Oxfam has given me my first relevant volunteering experience – I’ve learnt about a range of different items as well as how an organisation works – and it gives me a chance each week to switch my focus away from uni work!”
“You come across lots of interesting items, but it can be a thrill when you find something rare or out of the ordinary”
“I’ve been here for four years and I love it – very friendly team, very varied – dealing with high end clothing, antiquarian books, household items and much more – it’s great to find new homes for unwanted goods”
What we ask for:
· Enthusiasm for selling books online!
· A willingness to learn and to work within Oxfam's core values
· A commitment of a 3 hour shift per week for at least 3 months
· A commitment to abide by all shop health and safety processes
What your help will enable us to do:
Every pound raised in these incredibly challenging times supports Oxfam’s aim of ending extreme poverty. This income is vital to empower people to help themselves out of poverty, and, crucially, it allows us to act immediately when a disaster happens - saving lives and providing essential resources to help rebuild communities.
Can you help us raise as much as we can to continue our work this year? We won't live with poverty. If you feel the same way we would love to work with you!
