The Say Aphasia charity provides support groups across the UK for people with aphasia; a language and communication disability caused by a brain injury like a stroke. Aphasia affects over 350,000 people in the UK but is little understood or known about by the public. It is the only aphasia charity set up by people with aphasia for people with aphasia; helping them to adapt to their new way of life and regain their independence and confidence.
Aphasia occurs due to injury to the brain such as a stroke. It affects access to language, resulting in difficulties following conversations, speaking, reading and writing. People’s language can be affected to different degrees so not everyone’s aphasia looks the same. Imagine for a moment not being able to verbally order a coffee or ask for a bus ticket. This may be what life could look like for someone with aphasia. Aphasia is a lifelong condition and means that the person living with aphasia, their friends and family will need to adjust to a new way of communicating to overcome barriers. This may mean having to write or draw things instead of speaking. Due to the damage in the brain, people with aphasia may find it difficult to process conversions as quickly as before. Aphasia frequently results in loss of employment and a reduced social network, leading to isolation for the person living with aphasia.
Say Aphasia are always looking to welcome new volunteers to help out at the drop-in groups.
Volunteering for the charity is very rewarding. The training and support ensures that the volunteers learn and enjoy their time with the charity. By giving your time to people with aphasia, you will be improving their quality of life. Many of the members attending the groups live alone, or have minimal social interactions. Having a regular drop-in group to meet others with similar experiences of living with aphasia, vastly improves their mental health and well being. As a volunteer, you can help the members to communicate with each other, help to organise activities, or help out with teas and coffees. Say Aphasia offers a warm welcome to volunteers. To be part of the team, fill in the application form.
PLEASE NOTE THAT APPLICANTS MUST BE BASED IN THE UK AND LIVE LOCALLY.

Our organisation
Anglian Learning is a highly successful multi academy trust of sixteen academies that have come together to provide outstanding education and learning for our communities in East Anglia. Formed initially of three existing academy trusts, who recognised the huge potential of coming together to form one larger group, Anglian Learning has expanded in response to requests from other schools to join us and we look to continue to grow over the next few years.
Our members share the firm belief that successful learning communities are underpinned by ambitious vision, trust and strong inspirational leadership at all levels of the organisation; that excellence is not simply defined by Ofsted grades and league table positions; and that education can play a transformational role in the lives of children and the success and wellbeing of our wider society.
What will you be doing?
In a multi academy trust, trustees are both charity trustees and company directors. The Trust Board has collective accountability and responsibility for the trust and must ensure compliance with regulatory, contractual and statutory requirements.
Trustees are responsible for holding the trust’s executive leadership to account, offering scrutiny and challenge, and ensuring both robust governance and decision-making and good value for taxpayers’ money.
When joining our Trust Board you will become part of a team and will have the opportunity to apply your unique skills and experience while learning from others. Working closely with a passionate team of people who have different perspectives is often one of the most enjoyable aspects of the role.
What are we looking for?
We are seeking leaders with a strategic mindset and an ability to balance what is important for students versus finances, achievement rates and delivering high-quality education to our future workforce. By allying the deep knowledge and skills of experienced education leaders with governance and business expertise of volunteers from the corporate sector, we can shape the sector for the next generation.
Being a trustee offers the opportunity for professional development. It can let you gain experience of strategy and leadership, and boost your CV. It will give you experience of being a non-executive director, performing functions such as setting a strategic vision, influencing and negotiation, and managing risk. If you already have significant experience in these areas, it can be stimulating to use it in a different and potentially challenging context. Trustees often say that being a board member has been one of the richest sources of learning in their professional lives. We particularly welcome and encourage applications from women and / or those from diverse backgrounds.
What difference will you make?
Becoming a trustee at Anglian Learning will allow you to make a significant impact on the educational experience of future generations, there is no more important social mission than improving the life chances of young people. In this role you will be responsible for making decisions that directly impact the prosperity of the next generation and beyond.
What’s in it for the volunteer?
When joining our Trust Board you will become part of a team and will have the opportunity to apply your unique skills and experience while learning from others. It offers the opportunity for professional development, can let you gain experience of strategy and leadership and boost your CV. It will give you experience of being a non-executive director, performing functions such as setting a strategic vision, influencing and negotiation, and managing risk.

Help us uncover and tell artsdepot's history in a new project for our 20th anniversary year.
We’re looking for volunteers to build artsdepot’s archive, uncover new stories and share its journey to become the cultural venue in Barnet. Over the next nine months, in collaboration with heritage specialists, we will be collecting oral histories, revisiting key events and tracking down photos to build an exhibition which will be displayed at artsdepot as part of our 20th anniversary celebrations.
We want to tell the story of artsdepot, the ideas that shaped it, the challenges along the way, and the impact on our community. However, we want this very same community to help shape how we tell this story. We are looking for volunteers to play a key part in the creation of this project with support from the artsdepot team.
Volunteers will share their own memories and ideas of artsdepot and gather stories from audiences, trustees, councillors, community members and others involved in artsdepot since its inception. Volunteers will then create a powerful, engaging and informative display with these stories with support and guidance from industry experts while developing their own skills and knowledge.
The resulting exhibition will be a testament to the creativity and community spirit that has driven artsdepot over the past two decades.
Time commitment: We welcome anyone but respect it’s not always possible to find the time to volunteer. The contribution of each volunteer will vary from role to role and person to person but for some volunteers it might be once a week while for others it could be a few hours a month.
The deadline for applications is 11.59pm on Sunday 24 November. We look forward to hearing from you!
This project is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund, with thanks to National Lottery players.
