Our movement is built from the time and energy of volunteers like yourself. Volunteers are essential to this work.
In order to make our campaigns as impactful as possible, we work with dedicated volunteers in a number of areas. We need support in:
- Helping lead our teams and campaigns
- Joining one of our teams based on your professional area
- Welcoming and bringing new volunteers into Healthy Futures
- Providing campaign support
Brief descriptions on the volunteer roles are below. To sign-up for a volunteer role or simply to ask for more information about it, please complete the form. We'd love to hear from you!
Volunteer Roles

NB: This list is not exhaustive - if your profession or field of work isn’t listed above but you’d still like to be a Volunteer Leader or you just want to find out more, please email our campaigner Jonathan Moylan at [email protected] and we’d love to discuss!
2. Team Participant
Connect with other professionals and students who work in your specialised area. These teams are led by one of our wonderful volunteer Team Leaders and as a group you come up with tactics and ideas to strengthen our campaigns. As a participant you will join meetings held roughly once a month online and help carry out any decisions made at those meetings.
3. Welcome Team
The strength of our organisation is built upon many people taking action. As an organisation which has organically grown from a small group of volunteers we know the importance of personal connection to encourage others to get active. Our Welcome Team consists of volunteers who make a call to any person who has recently signed up with Healthy Futures just to say "Thank you and Welcome!". This is a role you can do in your own time and you will work with our campaigner Jonathan.
4. Strategy & Support Team
A group of dedicated volunteers and staff discuss via WhatsApp campaign tactics, strategy ideas and provide communications support eg. pushing messages out on social media, posting key articles etc. This is a role you can respond to in your own time and at your own capacity, and you will need to use the WhatsApp application.
