Membership & Admin Support – Join the Chocolution
Join the Chocolution is a new grassroots movement focused on supporting and elevating cocoa farming communitiesand challenging injustice in the chocolate industry. We're preparing to launch our public membership – and we need someone organised and thoughtful to help build the foundation.
You’ll support sign-ups, communication systems, and – if you’re interested – help shape what our member experience looks like, from welcome packs to online spaces like Mighty Networks.
What you’ll do:
- Set up and manage a simple member database (e.g. spreadsheet or CRM)
- Send welcome emails and help develop onboarding packs
- Ensure data is tidy and GDPR-compliant
- Optional: contribute to designing the member experience and communication systems
- (e.g. Mighty Networks, email newsletters, private events)
What you’ll gain:
- Be part of launching a grassroots movement with global impact
- Develop real-world skills in community building and digital admin
- Help shape how members connect, engage, and feel included
- Learn from cocoa farming communities and changemakers worldwide
- And yes – you’ll definitely get to taste some amazing chocolate!
You’ll play a vital behind-the-scenes role in creating a space where members feel welcomed, valued, and ready to 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.
