This is the story of Include Me 2 Club (IM2C) a movement born from a simple realisation in 2009: the world wasn’t built for everyone, so we decided we would build something better.

The Spark: From One Group to a Movement - It started in Barrhead with a single social group and a big ambition. While others saw “service users,” we saw architects of their own future. We didn’t want to deliver programmes to people; we wanted to build a future with them.

Today, that spark has grown into an award-winning force for change, connecting over 2,000 people every year. We don’t just fill gaps in communities; we create entirely new spaces where they didn’t exist before.

The Why: Beyond the Status Quo - We are a charity/social enterprise that thinks like a startup and acts with the heart of a neighbour. We are proud recipients of the Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service, but our real recognition is found in the steam of a busy Social Blend café, the grit of our bike hubs, and the energy of our festivals and community spaces.

We don’t do “corporate stuff.” We do relational. We believe a young member deserves the same warmth and respect as a corporate sponsor. We believe the best ideas can come from anywhere. And if you have a bold idea, you should have the autonomy to run with it and the support to make it happen.

Your Chapter Begins - Right now, IM2C stands at a threshold. We are moving from a local success story to a nationally recognised innovator in inclusion and community building. This isn’t a place where you come to maintain a legacy; it’s where you come to build one.

We are launching new sites, expanding our footprint, and looking for people who are tired of establishment giants and their red tape. We offer a blank canvas and the startup energy of an organisation that knows its best days are still ahead.

At IM2C we muck in. We show up for each other, and we take ownership of our collective success. We are looking for the bold, the restless, and the visionary to help ensure that everyone, regardless of age or ability, can live a Life Without Limits.

This is where ideas happen.

This is where you belong.

The Role

Championing a Life Without Limits

We are seeking a passionate leader with a proven track record in fundraising to join the Include Me 2 Club family. In this pivotal role, you will champion our mission to create inclusive communities, developing and implementing robust strategies to secure vital income from a diverse range of sources - including individuals, grantmaking organisations, corporate partners, businesses and donors. You will pride yourself on fostering confidence and trust, building lasting networks with stakeholders who share our vision of a world where everyone is a valued member of society.

Driving Impact & Innovation

In your experience, you will have demonstrated the energy and stamina required to sustain our vibrant, community-led work. You will be known by colleagues as highly organised and dependable, serving as a steady anchor for our ambitious projects. As a creative communicator, you will possess the natural ability to fine-tune our message, advocating for everything from our Social Blend enterprises to our Hub Club programmes - ensuring the impact of our work resonates powerfully with every audience. To support this, you will establish and manage a dynamic CRM system, bringing creativity and precision to our reporting.

Agility with Purpose

Include Me 2 Club is a fast-paced, responsive organisation where "ideas happen." As such, your ability to navigate competing priorities with a natural sense of calmness will be a major asset in influencing and inspiring colleagues and stakeholders alike. We are looking for someone conscientious who holds a deep understanding of the strategic social care landscape and can see the possibilities for genuine community growth and social change. You will bring a natural enthusiasm for the future, ensuring that every opportunity secured helps our members live a Life Without Limits.

We are currently looking for TRUSTEES of all backgrounds who have a passion for helping to make a positive difference to the lives of adults who have been in care.

Who we are

The Rees Foundation is a national charity based in Worcestershire that seeks to support adults who have, at some stage in their lives, been in foster care or residential care. Our focus is on the reality of many people’s transitions from being in care and moving into adult life, and the ongoing impact that care experience can have on a person's ability to reach their full potential.

Rees is resolute that care shouldn’t stop at 18, 21, or 25 years, it’s lifelong, and someone should be there to care. We listen, offer practical and emotional help, and we develop projects that really make a positive difference.

The role

The role of a Trustee is to ensure that the charity fulfils its duty to its beneficiaries and delivers on its vision, mission and values. The Board of Trustees are jointly and individually responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of the charity, its financial health, the probity of its activities, and developing the organisation’s aims, objectives and goals in accordance with the governing document, legal and regulatory guidelines.

Our Board currently comprises members with a variety of skills in social care, strategic planning, finance and business.

• Experience or professional understanding of the Scottish charity governance framework and OSCR regulations.
• Knowledge of the Scottish care system, including transitions, aftercare, or leaving-care support in a Scottish context.
• Connections to communities or organisations across Scotland that can help us better serve care-experienced adults in the region.

We would especially welcome applications from people who have professional knowledge and/or experience in the following areas:

• Finance (management accounting)
• Digital systems
• Fundraising
• Lived experience of being in care

We are also keen to increase diversity within the Board. We particularly welcome those from an ethnic minority background, the LGBTIQA+ community, people with disabilities, and younger people, as these are currently under-represented on our Board.
