The estimated total time commitment for the role is approximately 1-2 days per month, including quarterly board meetings, and a monthly finance meeting with the CEO and Finance Officer.

Volunteer Bid Writer
We are lucky to have the support of established Trust and Foundations who provide the majority of our funding each year. Without them, our projects simply wouldn’t happen. To help us secure our future funding, you can help to write compelling cases for support, scope out new funders, and support our small team of fundraisers to compile necessary documents for applications. If you think you can help, have a look at our role specification to find out more about what is involved.
E-Commerce Volunteer
Help us reduce waste and support our training programme, by selling our preloved tools and sending them to good homes. We receive large quantities of donated tools which are unsuitable or surplus to requirements for our vocational training projects, but are lucky to have the support of donors to sell these and use them to raise funds instead. We already have a platform on eBay but are looking to expand our team of volunteers and explore new platforms. If you have the eye for a deal we’d love to hear from you. Check out the role today.
