The National Lottery Community Fund is recruiting a Chair / Co-Chair and between six and ten members to join the Lived, Learned and Professional (LLP) Advisory Group for our Supporting Change – Carers programme in Scotland.

This is an opportunity to help shape a programme focused on improving the health of unpaid carers. We are looking for people with lived, learned and/or professional experience of unpaid care who can bring insight, constructive challenge and a strong commitment to inclusion.

Supporting Change – Carers aims to tackle health inequalities affecting unpaid carers by addressing the root causes of long-term challenges through systems change. The programme is particularly interested in work that will:

• support carers through changes in their role
• make it easier to identify and support carers
• improve support for carers who face additional barriers
• change how unpaid care is understood and valued

The LLP Advisory Group is a short-term, non-decision-making advisory group established by the National Lottery Community Fund’s Scotland Committee. It will operate from August 2026 until March 2028 and will help ensure that lived, learned, and professional perspectives are reflected in programme learning, priorities and governance discussions.

Participation is flexible and designed to fit around caring responsibilities and other commitments. Most engagement will take place through a private Microsoft Teams space and occasional online meetings.

The Chair / Co-Chair will have additional responsibilities, including helping to convene discussions, shaping agendas with staff, and drawing together key insights from the group.

You do not need previous board, committee or chairing experience. We welcome applications from people with a wide range of backgrounds and perspectives, especially those underrepresented in formal governance spaces.

Location: Based in Scotland

Working from: Remote, with participation through Microsoft Teams and occasional online meetings

Remuneration: While the role is an unpaid and voluntary position, advisory group members will be remunerated in line with The National Lottery Community Fund’s Stakeholder Compensation Policy, with a higher rate for the Chair / Co-Chair to reflect the additional responsibilities of the role. Support is also available to reduce barriers to participation, including replacement care costs, reasonable adjustments, accessible materials and flexible engagement options.

Urban Roots is a thriving environmental and health improvement organisation. Over the past 11 years, we have worked with local residents and organisations across the Southside of Glasgow to deliver a broad programme of activities that improve the environment and support health and wellbeing.

During Summer 2019, Urban Roots ran the first ever ‘Branching Out for Women’ in Mall’s Mire Community Woodlands in Glasgow. The aim was to create a safe, supportive space for women who have experienced trauma to be able to enjoy the outdoors. This was so successful, with such positive feedback from the women who took part, that we knew we needed to continue running a women’s woodland group with a specific focus on mental health and wellbeing. And so ‘Women in the Woods’ was born.

Women in the Woods meet every Wednesday in Mall’s Mire, with a varied programme of activities shaped by what the women want to do.

We are seeking a female co-facilitator with experience of working with groups of adults outdoors, and a strong understanding of how mental health issues affect women’s lives, to support the programme in 2026-27. It is very important to us that our group is inclusive, welcoming and supportive to all women, and we welcome applicants from diverse backgrounds.

Working with the current group leader, you will support and motivate the women through a programme of activities designed to build wellbeing, skills and confidence and to instil a sense of ownership and pride in the local environment. Example activities include campfire cooking, foraging, practical woodland conservation tasks, bushcraft, mindfulness activities, environmental art, photography, and wildlife surveys. You will also be expected to carry out recording of session activities and carry out monitoring and evaluation. Applicants must be available to work on Wednesdays.
