Fundraising & Sponsorship Support Volunteer – Join the Chocolution
Join the Chocolution is a grassroots movement focused on supporting and elevating cocoa farming communities while challenging the deep injustices in the chocolate industry. We’re looking for a proactive and creative volunteer to help us raise vital funds and secure sponsorships that will directly support cocoa farmers and amplify their voices.
Your work will help us bring cocoa farmers to the UK, host impactful events like the Norwich Chocolate Festival, and build long-term programmes that centre those too often silenced in the chocolate supply chain.
What you’ll do:
- Research and reach out to potential sponsors, partners, and aligned funders
- Support fundraising campaigns, raffles, and donor communications
- Help develop clear messages that explain why this work matters
- Contribute to proposal writing or sponsorship packages
What you’ll gain:
- Be part of a movement with real, global impact
- Develop skills in fundraising, ethical sponsorship, and grassroots organising
- Work alongside cocoa farmers, activists, and creatives from around the world
- Learn from communities often left out of the conversation
- And yes – you’ll also taste some of the best chocolate in the world!
Your contribution will directly help elevate cocoa farming communities, fund honest conversations, and build a chocolate future rooted in justice, not exploitation.
About Join the Chocolution
About Us
Join the Chocolution is a new and evolving community initiative, forming and developing to become a UK Community Interest Company (CIC).
Our mission is to elevate the voice of cocoa-growing communities and build a people-powered movement for change in chocolate. We use chocolate as a tool — a lens — to explore and highlight issues of injustice, inequality, and environmental harm.
Because chocolate is something so many people love deeply, it becomes a powerful entry point: If we can create meaningful change in chocolate, what else might be possible?
Our Core Commitments
🔗 Build a collaborative and inclusive community
📢 Amplify cocoa-growing community voices and leadership
🌱 Champion environmental and social justice in chocolate
✊ Stand against trafficking, slavery, and forced labour
🎨 Use creative, accessible formats to engage all ages and backgrounds
💡 Use chocolate to spark deeper conversations about systems, power, and connection
What We Do
Our work includes:
Festivals and Forums – e.g. Norwich Chocolate Festival & Forum, combining public engagement, discovery, and critical dialogue
Community Events – chocolate dinners, storytelling evenings, and relaxed social events like Choc n Chat and Choc n Chill
Public Education – talks, workshops, and activities exploring the cocoa supply chain, history, flavour, and justice
Sector Engagement – working with hospitality and small business owners to improve responsible sourcing and deepen understanding
Movement Building – launching a UK-wide Chocolution Membership for individuals and organisations ready to take part in change
We are currently inviting UK-based Non-Executive Directors, volunteers, and collaborators to join us as we grow this movement together.
