Current Volunteer Opportunities

The YMHF managed to secure a grant for a brand-new WordPress website, which is fantastic news for housing all our free mental health resources for families and schools. However, we've been let down by the web agency we hiredthe new site is functional, but it's missing the polished design and smooth user experience we need to truly connect with our audience.We're facing the challenge of taking this nearly-finished site and making those crucial design and usability tweaks to get it looking professional and user-friendly. We're looking for a volunteer who is skilled in WordPress development, responsive design, and visual standards implementation. Your key tasks will involve refining page layouts, checking mobile usability, and ensuring the whole site feels cohesive and trustworthy.Success means having a website that is intuitive, visually appealing, and easy for parents and educators to use, resulting in increased resource downloads and a lower bounce rate. This final expert polish will transform our grant investment into website we've dreamed of, helping us get our life-changing support directly to the young people and families who desperately need it.

The YMHF is developing an online sales strategy. We plan to sell access to our successful Power2Parent programme—delivered live via Zoom—to families outside of the UK. The paid access for international families will be means-tested to ensure equity. Crucially, this will allow us to sustainably offer free-to-access, life-changing mental health support to thousands of UK parents and caregivers supporting children and young people (CYP). To bring this plan into reality, we need a volunteer expert to build the digital sales funnel using the Kajabi platform. We are looking for a volunteer with strong skills in Kajabi setup, particularly experienced in creating and integrating high-converting landing pages, webinar sign-up pages, multi-step drip email sequences, and e-commerce carts. Success for this project means a fully functional and automated Kajabi sales funnel that can effectively market and sell the Power2Parent program to our community of parents supporting a child or young person struggling with mental health around the world.

NewstrAid supports people who work in the sale and distribution of newspapers and magazines in the uk. We want to develop and implement a strategy to engage with younger members of our community on LinkedIn to build awareness. We have a LinkedIn account and post regularly but do not use it strategically or have the expertise to know how to target what feels like quite a niche sector of the LinkedIn community. We are looking for a social media expert who knows how to run successful and targeted awareness campaigns on LinkedIn on a small budget. We would need them to plan and implement the campaign and give guidance on how we find relevant people and how best to engage and get our message out to them. Success is a campaign that has the potential to grow and develop over time and results in around 10% increase in engagement with relevant people under 35. The impact would be an increase in followers, fundraising and event attendance due to more people knowing and understanding what the charity does. In addition, it will future proof the charity as those with many years left in the trade will be aware of its work.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Community Foundation (HIWCF) is seeing growing interest from regional and broadcast media and we want to ensure our CEO and Chair of Trustee are confident and well-prepared when representing the organisation publicly.

We are seeking an experienced media professional to deliver spokesperson training for our CEO and Chair of Trustees, with a focus on broadcast interviews, key message discipline and handling any challenging questions that may come their way. As we are a Trust and Foundation funding various grassroot organisations across the region, the topics can be incredibly broad.

We are looking for a volunteer with strong experience in journalism, broadcast media, PR or media training who understands how to communicate clearly and calmly under pressure.

Success would mean our CEO and Chair feel confident engaging with broadcast and print media, can articulate HIWCF’s impact succinctly, and are well-equipped to respond to sensitive or complex issues. This support will strengthen HIWCF’s public profile, build trust with audiences across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, and ultimately help us reach more communities and direct funding where it is most needed.

Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) needs a PR &media outreach volunteer to help us turn our frontline Windrush work into stories that reach the wider public, decision-makers and potential supporters. At the moment, we have powerful case studies, insight and events, but limited time and expertise to pitch them effectively to journalists and media outlets.We’re looking for someone with experience in PR, journalism or communications who can help us shape key messages, draft press releases and op-eds, build a simple media list (local, national and specialist outlets), and identify good “hooks” such as anniversaries, reports or policy changes. Experience preparing spokespeople for interviews and advising on media handling would be especially valuable. Success would look like: a small but active media contact list, 1–2 strong press releases or story pitches around our work, and increased coverage of Windrush justice issues with LAW as a trusted voice. This will help ensure that the experiences of those affected by Windrush are heard, strengthen pressure for change, and connect more people to the support and advocacy we provide.

Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) needs a social media specialist to help us turn our small but powerful Windrush justice work into clear, engaging content that reaches the people who need us most.

At the moment, our messages are spread across different platforms with no consistent strategy, meaning some elders, families and supporters never see vital updates, events or information about their rights.

We’re looking for a volunteer with experience in social media strategy, content planning and scheduling, ideally across Instagram, Facebook, X (Twitter) and LinkedIn (and open to exploring Discord/YouTube later). Skills in writing simple, human-centred posts, repurposing content (e.g. from casework, events and news) and advising on basic visuals/templates would be especially helpful.

Success would look like: a simple social media plan, regular posts that reflect our values and tone of voice, clearer calls to action, and steady growth in engaged followers from our core communities and allies. This support will help more Windrush-affected people and their families find us, feel less alone, learn about their options, and connect into advocacy, peer support and campaigning – strengthening our overall impact and voice.

Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) is developing a simple web app to connect our website with our new Windrush community Discord space, so people can easily move from reading information to joining peer support and events.

Our current challenge is that everything is scattered – website, email, social media and Discord – which makes it harder for people (especially those in crisis or not very tech-confident) to find and stay connected with us.

We’re looking for a volunteer web app developer with experience in APIs, basic integrations and user authentication, ideally with knowledge of Discord bots or Discord API, to help design and build a secure, user-friendly bridge between our site and Discord.

Success would look like: a simple, accessible interface where users can safely join the right Discord channels from our website, receive key updates, and feel part of a supported community, strengthening our mission to restore dignity, belonging and justice to those affected by Windrush.

Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) needs support from a web designer/developer to rebuild our small charity website so it clearly tells our story, builds trust and makes it easier for people to get help.

Our current site is basic, text-heavy and not user-friendly for people in crisis or older community members trying to navigate Windrush and immigration issues.

We’re looking for someone with experience in designing and building accessible, mobile-friendly websites, ideally in WordPress or another easy-to-maintain platform. Skills in UX, structuring clear user journeys, and making complex information simple and visual would be especially valuable.

Success would look like: a clean, modern website with clear calls to action (get help, refer someone, volunteer, donate), simple information pages on Windrush and immigration support, and space for news, resources and events.

This will help more people find us, understand their rights and access support sooner, strengthening our overall impact and voice.

We need a volunteer to review and overhaul our rather basic WordPress website with a view to presenting something that is accessible, modern, bright and friendly. It does not need to be complicated, but certain parts of the existing functionality are failing, for example, website-based referral forms.

Experience in website design and building would be essential, as well as experience in SEO. Ideally, we would like to preserve, redesign and build from within our existing structure while keeping the existing site live during any redesign. We would also like to keep maintenance and updating easy and controllable by our team.

Our team would be happy to provide images and content for the website upon request, but we lack the design experience and time to support the rebuilding work.

Ideally, the rebuild could happen by the end of January 2026, when we would have a fully functional, simple but attractive site with all menu pages fully built and content added.

This new site would allow existing and prospective clients and ABI professionals to understand our range of services, make referrals, access a library of ABI information and make donations.
