Organisation Description

Move Dance Feel is a creative community for women affected by cancer.
They offer dance experiences that nurture wellbeing, connection and self-expression – whether you're living with or beyond cancer, supporting someone through it, or grieving a loved one.

Through weekly online sessions and in-person retreats and weekenders, women are invited to move in a way that feels right for them – no dance experience needed. Led by professional artists, sessions take place in a safe, welcoming space where participants can reconnect with themselves and others, feel uplifted and experience joy through dance.

Move Dance Feel supports women by creating space to process emotions, rebuild confidence, reduce isolation and improve overall wellbeing. It fills a vital gap in cancer care, offering a holistic, creative approach to the emotional, physical and social challenges that can come with cancer.

Organisation Description

Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) is a grassroots social justice organisation based in Merseyside. We support people affected by the Windrush scandal and wider immigration injustices – particularly Black and Commonwealth communities who have been harmed by hostile environment policies, poor decision-making and decades of disbelief.

Our work combines **one-to-one advocacy**, **community legal education** and **campaigning for change**. We help people secure their status and documentation, understand their rights, navigate complex Home Office processes and, where possible, access justice and compensation. We also share evidence and lived experience with lawyers, universities and policymakers to push for fairer systems.

LAW is built from the ground up, alongside the people most affected. Many of our volunteers have lived experience themselves or come from the communities we serve. Volunteers might support casework, community outreach, research, communications, events, or project development – always with guidance, training and a trauma-aware approach.

By volunteering with LAW, you’ll be helping to restore **belonging, dignity and security** to people who have lived in the UK for years, often decades, yet are still fighting to prove they exist on paper. You’ll be part of a small, determined team using advocacy, storytelling and the law to make sure the Windrush

Organisation Description

The Sound Lab is a charity who believe that ‘music matters’ and that music and creativity should not just be available for those who can readily access and afford it; it should be available to everyone.

Our vision is that, irrespective of age, gender, race, ethnicity or economic background, everyone should have equal access to the resources and support they need to fulfil their creative potential. We work to overcome barriers that can prevent people accessing opportunities in music by providing expert music-making education and mentoring support.

We focus on children and young people who often do not receive the same opportunities as their peers, specifically care experienced young people; children with disabilities; and young people from an unaccompanied, asylum-seeking or refugee background.

We are looking for volunteers to help take us to the next level, either as a trustee or an informal-advisory basis to the board. No musical experience is required. Instead, we are particularly looking for additional expertise in marketing, comms strategy and/or public relations.

We are based in Glasgow but volunteer roles can be based anywhere.

Organisation Description

The heart of our work is Family Group, an evidence-based, systemic, multifamily therapy intervention. Weekly meetings in West London primary schools (high deprivation areas) provide a safe space for parents and children to come together, identify challenges, share lived experience, and draw on one another’s strengths. Families help families. Through this approach, parents and carers who have often been isolated, marginalised, or serially failed by services gain agency, confidence, and hope. Children who may otherwise struggle at school develop positive relationships and thrive.

The difference we make is profound. Children develop confidence, resilience, a sense of belonging and re-engage with learning. For parents, it means breaking isolation, overcoming shame and judgement, and gaining the skills, confidence, and solidarity to support their children. For schools, it means stronger partnerships with families and a relational culture that benefits the whole community.

Importantly, the difference is lasting. Because families co-produce the programmes, the skills and networks they build endure beyond the life of any single intervention. Parents continue to support one another outside formal groups. Children carry forward their experiences of voice and agency into into leadership and peer support roles. And schools embed and apply the relational values of Family Group.
