Help us prevent violent and harmful behaviour.
We’re a growing UK charity seeking a Volunteer Fundraiser to help find and apply for grants supporting our early intervention schools programme, offender rehabilitation project, and discreet victim support app.
What difference will you make?
This role will play an important part in helping us grow from an early-stage charity into a sustainable organisation able to reach more people affected by abuse, trauma, and emotional harm.
As a small charity, additional fundraising support will directly increase our ability to deliver and expand our projects. Successful funding applications will help us bring Think Different into more schools, alternative provision settings, and foster care environments, giving more children and young people access to early intervention, emotional wellbeing support, and abuse prevention education.
Funding support will also help us continue developing True Power Change Starts Inside, supporting rehabilitation and reducing reoffending through trauma-informed behavioural change work, alongside ListenApp, our discreet victim support app designed to help individuals experiencing abuse access support safely.
The volunteer’s contribution will help us build long-term stability, strengthen partnerships, and increase the number of people we can support across the UK and beyond. Their work will have a direct and meaningful impact on creating safer communities, improving wellbeing, and helping break cycles of abuse before they continue into future generations.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about creating safer communities and wants to contribute to meaningful, long-term change. Our work focuses on abuse prevention, emotional wellbeing, trauma recovery, rehabilitation, and victim support, and we’re hoping to find a volunteer who believes in the importance of early intervention and sustainable impact.
