CHARITY + SOCIAL ENTERPRISE
yearhere.org/welcome/
About us: Year Here is a full time postgraduate course in London,
designed to cultivate entrepreneurial approaches to social problems.
It’s immersive, action-oriented - and puts focus on the daily
experience of those at the frontline of inequality.
We’re looking for people who are driven to make society better.
Supported by a leading network including Citizens UK, FutureGov,
Bain & Company and the Cabinet Office - you’ll test and build
solutions to social problems. As a Fellow you’ll be part of a rapidly
growing movement of activists and entrepreneurs. Whether you’re
fresh out of uni or a few years into your career, this is a unique
opportunity to develop novel approaches to social change.
If selected, you will:
• Serve on the frontline. Your first four months will be spent
in homeless shelters, care homes and community centres,
learning first-hand from people hit hardest – and designing
innovative measures to boost your placement’s impact.
• Build ventures, secure investment. You’ll design and implement
your projects, with opportunities to secure seed investment
from funders including O2 and The Funding Network.
• Learn from an expert faculty. You’ll be assigned a personal
mentor and receive extensive training from a faculty of more
than 60 leaders from across the social sector.
• Develop a creative portfolio and connect with platforms to
share radical ideas. Previous fellows have written in the Independent,
the Huffington Post + the Guardian, directed films
and delivered TED talks.
Funding: Unlike traditional postgraduate courses, we cover your
tuition fee and offer packages of accommodation and bursaries.
VOLUNTEERING
The Broken Spoke is a DIY (do-it-yourself) bicycle
workshop that aims to address social inequality, create a
healthier environment, and strengthen the culture of bicycling
in Oxfordshire by teaching bicycle maintenance and riding to
people from all backgrounds. We offer mechanical advice,
courses, new & used parts, cycle confidence training,
volunteer opportunities, film nights, talks, and much more.
We’re always looking for volunteers with a passion for bikes,
learning, and communicating. No prior experience is
necessary, but we do offer mechanics training and have
non-mechanical volunteer roles available. Volunteering is an
excellent way to meet diverse people in the community and
become involved with a burgeoning social enterprise.
Volunteers who commit at least 6 hours per month (on
average) get free access to the workshop (usually £7), 50% of
mechanics training courses, and 10% off all stock.
If you are interested, please contact volunteer@bsbcoop.org
with a short statement of your availability and interest.
