As one of our Strategic Partnership Leads, you’ll connect with diverse organisations to co-create services and activities that uplift the Afro-Hebrew community.
Welcome to Barawak
Barawak is the first UK-registered charitable organisation dedicated to uplifting and empowering the Afro-Hebrew community in the UK. We understand the unique challenges faced by our community, and we are here to provide support, resources, and opportunities to help overcome these hurdles.
Our vision is to see our community thrive, free from the burdens of poverty and inequality. We're here to bring this vision to life by providing essential support and resources that uplift and empower every individual and family.
Our Purpose
At Barawak, our mission is clear: to address and alleviate the immediate and long-term challenges faced by our community. We're dedicated to ensuring that everyone has access to the essentials – from food and toiletries to vital services. But our goals go beyond just meeting basic needs. We are also here to open doors to new opportunities through education and skill-building, helping our community members to stand tall and secure a better future for themselves and their families.
Our Commitment
At Barawak, we’re driven by four key goals to uplift our Afro-Hebrew community:
- Alleviating Poverty: We’re here to give more than just immediate help. Our support includes essential items and help with basic needs, aimed at long-term financial stability for our community.
- Empowering Through Education: Education and skills are keys to opening doors. We offer practical workshops and mentoring in financial smarts, job skills, and more, to spark economic opportunities.
- Fostering Harmony and Diversity: We celebrate our rich Afro-Hebrew culture and encourage understanding across communities. Our work strengthens community bonds and enriches cultural events.
- Promoting Health with Sports: Good health is vital. We offer sports and wellness activities that boost both body and mind, helping everyone feel part of something bigger.
In all we do, helping out, sticking together, and staying strong guide us. By the grace of our God, we're not just making today better — we're shaping a brighter, more hopeful community and future for us all.
Our Team
Currently, our team consists of dedicated trustees and advisors who are laying the groundwork for a robust volunteer organisation. We are in the process of expanding our team to include passionate, committed individuals who share our vision and are eager to make a real difference in the community.

As a volunteer at Barawak, you'll be part of a meaningful journey to support and enrich the lives of those in our community. We value every contribution, and we provide a supportive environment where your skills and dedication can truly flourish. Whether you're leading a service or a vertical, assisting with operations or reporting, your role at Barawak is crucial to our collective success and your help will go a long way to helping us reach our strategic goals.
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:
• The Fundraising and Financial Management vertical covers fundraising and money matters: This team is all about finding resources—like getting donations and grants—to keep our programmes strong and healthy.They will spend their time writing fantastic letters, sponsorship proposals and funding requests on behalf of Barawak as a whole, but also (supporting programme leads) to specific organisations for Barawak service lines.
• The Strategic Partnership Development and Collaboration vertical covers building bridges: They're the connectors, making friends with other groups, businesses, and everyone who can help us grow.
• The Volunteer Engagement vertical covers welcoming our helpers: This bunch is in charge of gathering our most valuable resource—people like you who want to volunteer and make a difference.
• The Marketing Outreach and Advocacy vertical covers spreading the word: They tell our story far and wide, making sure everyone knows what we're up to and how they can join in.
Each vertical team works in two distinct ways: the first way is for Barawak as a whole, and the second way is in support of each Barawak service, feeding our programmes, like roots bringing water and nutrients to the branches. Whether it's Poverty Relief, Education, Employment Support, Community Engagement or Sports and Wellness, these verticals give the support each programme needs to blossom and bear fruit. Working together, they make sure we're all pushing in the same direction—towards a future where our community stands tall and proud.

About Internet Matters
Internet Matters is a not for profit organisation dedicated to ensuring children can enjoy the internet and connected technology safely. Established in 2014 by BT, Sky, TalkTalk, and Virgin Media O2, we collaborate with leading industry partners to ensure more positive actions are taken to keep children safe and well online.
Our vision is to inspire leading organisations to create a future where all children and young people can safely benefit from the impact of connected technology. We strive to provide parents, carers, and professionals with evidence-based guidance to help children confidently embrace the internet.
Our campaigns and partnerships raise awareness to ensure children and young people are happy and healthy online. Furthermore, we represent the views and interests of families to policymakers, ensuring their voices are heard.
About the role
We seek an exceptional leader to join us as our new Independent Chair, guiding our mission and vision forward.
As Chair, you will lead our Board of Directors, which is made up of representatives from our Members and Joint CEOs.
Our Chair also leads our CEO Governing Committee, which meets twice a year and ensures our Members and Joint CEOs are accountable for the organisation’s goals.
Our Chair will provide inclusive leadership, fostering positive relationships with senior leaders across industries, parliamentarians, and policymakers.
In this role, the new Chair will guide Internet Matters to maximise its positive impact on society, supporting the development and delivery of our five-year strategy and annual plans.
We are looking for someone who will act as an ambassador for Internet Matters, enhancing our profile at external functions and media events, and actively engaging with senior industry leaders and government officials to support our strategic objectives.
Our Chair’s leadership will ensure the Board has the right balance of skills and experience. They will chair meetings impartially, bring objectivity to the decision-making process, and ensure that decisions are effectively implemented.
Building and maintaining strong, supportive relationships with the Joint CEOs is crucial. Our new Chair will maintain regular contact, providing necessary support while respecting the boundaries between roles.
We are looking for a Chair with experience of complexity and scale in a governance role who has strategic leadership experience with multiple stakeholders and who can showcase exceptional leadership and facilitation skills.
A proven track record of strategic leadership at a senior level is required, ideally within the children’s online safety sector or related fields. Having the ability to guide groups to consensus while, at times, being an ambassador, is key.
Time commitment
Our board of Directors meets quarterly, and our CEO Governing Committee meets twice yearly. We expect the overall time commitment to be the equivalent of approximately 15 days a year, which includes board meetings, preparation, attending IM-hosted events, one face-to-face event a year, and engagement with the board and our joint CEOs.
Why Join Us?
As we navigate the evolving regulatory landscape, the role of the Chair and their leadership will be crucial in supporting Internet Matter’s mission to protect children online.
This is an exciting opportunity to significantly impact children’s online safety at a key point in legislative change — and as this sector evolves.
This is an opportunity to work with a dedicated team and leading industry partners.
Your expertise and passion can help Internet Matters shape the future of online safety.
