Bring your skills and energy

Volunteer with CEASE.

People arrive at this work from everywhere. Lawyers and teachers, students and parents, researchers, film-makers, people who have lived through some of it and people who simply could not walk past it. Everyone is welcome.

Everyone is welcome to apply

Tell us what you are good at.

Volunteering with CEASE means real time on real work: helping with our social media, conducting research, writing an article. No policy background needed.

We are a small team, so what we can take on depends on what is live and who has capacity. Sometimes that means starting straight away, sometimes it means holding your details until the right work comes up, and either way you will hear back from us.

What we need
02

the kind of help we need.

If these are not your skills, do apply anyway and say what you'd like to do. A lot of the useful work volunteers have done was not on this list first.

01

Research and data

Monitoring sites, coding what you find, building the dataset properly. Careful, repetitive, and the reason our numbers hold up under attack.

Remote · Ongoing
02

Social media and content

Turning research and campaign wins into posts people actually stop for. Writing captions, cutting clips, keeping a grid consistent.

Remote · Weekly
03

Film and photography

Filming and editing interviews, covering events, building a library of warm, human images we are allowed to use.

On location and remote · Per project
04

Events and dinners

Hosting, logistics, note-taking under the Chatham House Rule. Important work that decides whether a room goes well.

London and regional · Per event
05

Writing articles and blogs

Explainers, opinion pieces and campaign blogs in plain words. Evidence nobody reads changes nothing.

Remote · Per piece
06

Local organising

Getting your MP to answer, pulling a coalition together where you live, turning up when a campaign needs bodies.

Your constituency · Ongoing

What we ask of you.

Four things, and none of them is a qualification.

01

Available time

An hour a week or a day a month. It does not need to be much, it needs to be real.

02

Dependability

If you say you will do something, we plan around it. That is the whole basis of a small team.

03

Discretion

Some of what you see is sensitive. It stays in the room, and we will always tell you when that applies.

04

Patience, and questions

We are a small team. Things move, plans change, and asking is always better than guessing.

If you have lived experience of this

You are not what was done to you.

You are welcome here, and you are never asked to tell your story to be useful. Say as much or as little as you want on the form. We are not a crisis service: if you need someone now, the helplines are on our contact page.
