We’re always looking for volunteers so if you have an interest in dedicating some of your time to a good cause, then please do complete the form below.
Our opportunities are very flexible so you can dedicate as much, or little, time as you’re able to. For most of these roles you can work from anywhere in the world using collaborative tools like Zoom, Google Docs and WhatsApp to work virtually with team members and other volunteers.
Our current volunteer opportunities include bloggers, social media officers, admin assistants, event assistants and graphic designers. Find out more below:
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 manage 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 and assist with developing specific social media campaigns. You’ll also assist with organising our fibroids Twitter chats and explore ideas for social media events.
