Join our founding team to help women in surgical menopause SURGE.
Volunteer with us
Help us build a better future for women experiencing surgical menopause.
SURGE Menopause was founded because too many women are left to navigate surgical menopause without the information, support or care they deserve.
We're working to change that through education, advocacy, research and community. As we grow, we're looking for our very first Founding Volunteers to help shape the future of the organisation.
If you're passionate about improving women's healthcare and can offer around 10 hours a month, we'd love to hear from you.
Why should you volunteer with SURGE?
As one of our Founding Volunteers, you'll play an important role in helping a growing Community Interest Company create meaningful change.
Whether you're helping us secure funding, supporting research or bringing events to life, your contribution will directly support women affected by surgical menopause across the UK.
In return, you'll have the opportunity to:
Help shape a growing national organisation from the beginning.
Work alongside clinicians, researchers, patient advocates and communications professionals.
Develop your skills and gain experience in the charity and women's health sectors.
Receive a LinkedIn recommendation and professional reference after six months of active volunteering.
Be among the first to hear about future paid opportunities as SURGE grows.
