Help us grow our neurodivergent-led tech and wellbeing programmes by unlocking strategic, long-term funding from government and institutional partners. Ideal for someone experienced, connected, and passionate about systems-level change.
What difference will you make?
Your guidance could be the key to securing sustainable, long-term funding — allowing us to reach more young people, deliver deeper impact, and build a future where neurodivergent individuals have equal access to skills, support, and opportunity. With your help, we could Build partnerships with local authorities, NHS/ICBs, or departments like DfE and DSIT Secure multi-year funding that supports delivery, staffing, and growth Strengthen our voice and visibility in spaces where decisions about inclusion and skills are made Ensure that neurodivergent-led, grassroots innovation is recognised and supported at a systemic level By helping us tap into strategic funding pathways — not just reactive grants — you’ll be creating real, lasting change in how support for neurodivergent people is funded and delivered. Your influence could open doors that would otherwise remain closed — and your time could help shape a more inclusive future.
What are we looking for?
We’re looking for someone who understands how strategic funding and influence work — someone who knows that much of the most impactful funding doesn’t come from open calls or public grants, but through trusted relationships, alignment with priorities, and being in the right rooms at the right time. You’ll likely have senior experience in the public or third sector and be comfortable navigating the space where funding decisions are shaped — whether that's through government, arms-length bodies, education institutions, or national funders. You might be A senior leader, advisor, or commissioner in local or central government A consultant, strategist, or public affairs professional with experience in public sector engagement A former charity CEO, partnerships director, or income generation lead who’s secured funding through public or institutional channels Someone who’s worked with or within bodies like local authorities, NHS/ICBs, DfE, DSIT, or national inclusion/skills initiatives A connector who understands the unwritten routes to funding and how influence flows in public funding systems We’re looking for someone who can Identify where our work naturally aligns with current policy and public priorities (e.g. neurodiversity, education, digital skills, youth employment, wellbeing) Help us build relationships with decision-makers, funders, and partners who value what we do Support our positioning and storytelling to be credible, timely, and impactful in strategic conversations Guide us on when and how to engage — including what not to chase Possibly open doors or make warm introductions where relevant We’re particularly interested in working with someone who Is passionate about equity and inclusion Believes in the power of grassroots and neurodivergent-led work Has a collaborative, generous approach to sharing knowledge and helping others navigate complex systems Wants to use their insight and experience to shape long-term change Whether you’re actively working, semi-retired, consulting, or looking to give back, your support could help us build sustainable, systemic support for the young people and communities we serve.
What will you be doing?
We’re looking for a senior volunteer who understands how strategic funding flows — not just through grants, but through relationships, influence, and alignment with public priorities. Our organisation supports neurodivergent young people (14–25) through free tech and digital education, wellbeing support, and holistic pathways into employment. Our work sits at the intersection of inclusion, upskilling, mental health, and education — key priorities in the UK’s current political and funding landscape. We’ve built a successful grassroots model and are seeing real impact — but to sustain and grow this, we need strategic investment from government, public bodies, or major institutional partners. These opportunities often aren't advertised; they come from being in the right rooms, building trust, and aligning with systems-level goals. That’s where you come in. You might be A senior leader, advisor, or commissioner in local or central government A strategy, policy or public affairs expert with deep understanding of public sector funding A charity leader or consultant who’s built successful partnerships with government or major bodies Someone who understands how to navigate decision-making spaces and can help us do the same A well-connected connector with insight into where funding flows and how to position ourselves We’d love your help to Identify potential public sector or quasi-government funding routes (e.g. local authority, NHS/ICB, DfE, DSIT) Help us build relationships with key decision-makers and funders Support our positioning and narrative to align with government priorities (skills, inclusion, wellbeing) Advise us on timing, language, and approach — even behind the scenes Potentially open doors or guide us into the right conversations
