As a grassroots group, we rely on volunteers to make everything possible.

FiLiA is a Women-led volunteer organisation. We began back in 2012 with 2 volunteers and now we have over 160! Below are our current vacancies, but if you wish to create another role that you feel will benefit FiLiA and the Women’s Liberation Movement, please e-mail info@filia.org.uk.

To apply for any of the roles below, please write to us at info@filia.org.uk with some information about yourself, including relevant experience; why you would like to take the role on; how you can be as effective as possible and ask any questions you may have. Please familiarise yourself with the politics of FiLiA before applying.

When do you start?

Immediately

Who do you report in to?

We are all in this together. You will work closely with the trustees to ensure that your work aligns with the politics and ethos of FiLiA but this role is one to make your own.

What experience do you need to have?

You must be passionate about Women’s Rights, organised and determined. Other than that – no previous experience is necessary.

FiLiA recognises that the Women’s movement loses out if it is not informed by the voices and experiences of marginalised Women in our community. Consequently, we particularly welcome Women who are less often heard or purposefully silenced to join us as volunteers.
We aim for FiLiA volunteers to be as diverse as the Women we work with and for.

If you need to submit your application in an alternative format or require reasonable adjustments during the recruitment and selection process please contact us at info@filia.org.uk

Volunteer Team: Grant Application Support

FiLiA is looking for a detail-oriented, reliable, and flexible woman to help secure funding for FiLiA2025 and future projects.

The role involves researching and identifying grant opportunities, preparing accurate and timely applications, and ensuring all deadlines are met.

Previous experience in grant writing is desirable but not essential.

If you're passionate about supporting women's rights and skilled at navigating internet searches and report style writing, we’d love to hear from you.

Get in touch info@filia.org.uk

FiLiA's work with women and our follow-up research has reinforced that women’s differing needs and lives are not being recognised in policies and processes - the bureaucracy of a male-dominated and male-served society. FiLiA is now working to provide women with the support required to ensure their voices are heard in national and local policy forums and to put women firmly on the policy and legislative agenda.

As part of this we need some help and are looking for volunteers to support us with the following:

A weekly search and review of any new, relevant consultations from the UK, Scottish and Welsh Governments and Parliaments, and local authorities in the FiLiA Legacy cities, to contribute to the FiLiA newsletter. Contributions need a very short blurb, the deadline of the consultation and a link, and must be received by Wednesday for inclusion in the week's newsletter. No previous experience needed.
We’re looking for women to help us design flyers for events. We can supply previous examples, style guide and Canva templates. Some experience of design/familiarity with Canva would be helpful but not essential. Ad hoc, but relatively frequent.
Desk research: identify key events, campaigns, milestones or collaborations that could serve as a platform for FiLiA’s messaging and influence. No experience needed as we will refine the resulting list in-team.
Background research on policy changes and campaigns around equality impact assessments, looking at what has been done before here in the UK or internationally. A paper summarising what has been done before, what's been effective and the impact of any campaigns. Will involve mostly desk research. No previous experience needed.
