Our opportunities are very flexible so you can dedicate as much, or little, time as you’re able to.

Fundraising Assistants
We’re looking for creative and committed fundraisers to work with us to raise funds for the Joan Ajose-Adeogun Fund and our new research and advocacy projects. If you have creative ideas for virtual and traditional fundraising, we’d love to hear from you. You’ll be responsible for developing a mini fundraising strategy and implementing this strategy which will include organising fundraising activities and running online donation campaigns.
Bloggers
Do you like writing? Are you interested in health and inequalities? Then why not volunteer to become a Lake Blogger. As a blogger, you’ll write articles on health issues that are of interest to the black community and can select health topics or we’ll provide you with a topic list. You can then submit your blog articles when you’re able to, we’ll review your article, provide feedback and then publish it. You’ll be listed as the author and are welcome to share your articles far and wide. After major milestones (e.g. first 10 blogs, volunteering for a year, getting to 1000 blog views) you’ll receive a certificate and the opportunity to be interviewed about some of your stories.

You’ll assist with our Twitter, Instagram and Facebook accounts creating engaging content that promotes our work, raises awareness of health issues that are particularly relevant to the black community, assist with developing specific social media campaigns and explore ideas for social media events. After major milestones, you’ll receive certificates and awards to recognise your contribution to our organisation.

We’re looking for Admin Assistants who can help with organising and evaluating health awareness events (including liaising with speakers and vendors), being the point of contact for email enquiries, assisting us in writing reports, conducting desk-based research and assisting with a range of other administrative tasks.
