Supporting the work of societies, companies and associations linked with the IFoA - and supporting charities

Many of the societies, companies and associations linked with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries provide support, to many incredible charities.  This section of our volunteer vacancies web-resource highlights these opportunities, in one place, to enable members to see how they can get involved and to provide a contact point for more information. 

The current opportunities include:

Providing financial education in London – Through the Livery Schools Link, London-based Worshipful Company of Actuaries has teamed up with BEE (Teaching Business Enterprise and Employability in Schools) to provide financial education to young people in the London area, especially in Tower Hamlets.  If you are a member of the IFoA and live and/or work in, or near London, please consider volunteering to share your enthusiasm and your knowledge of finance with young people in London’s schools. View an “Introduction to the BEE Programme”.  To find out more and to be invited to attend an introductory talk which will illustrate what is involved, the materials that will support you, and the time commitment involved, please contact Marjorie Ngwenya to register your interest.  

Volunteer authors needed for articles on the web and The Actuary - Members of the Actuaries City Livery Company undertake a range of activities, often aimed at supporting its chosen charities.   The company would welcome the support of a volunteer writer for articles on the web and The Actuary.  The volunteer does not need to be a Liveryman.   To offer support or to find out more, please contact Brian Ridsdale.

Supporting actuarial education in Ghana – The London based Worshipful Company of Actuaries together with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries are seeking to hear from members, and their organisations, who would like to support this charitable initiative.  This initiative has been established to further actuarial science by helping a particular university in Ghana to initiate and advance a masters course with the ultimate goal of having this training accepted and recognised as one of the IFoA’s accredited universities for actuarial exams.  To enable this vision to be achieved, over the next 3 – 4 years, the profession is seeking support from members and their organisations and for them to volunteer to deploy their resources in the form of skills, knowledge, time and commitment to make this vision become a reality.  To find out a bit more please download a letter which Adrian Waddingham CBE, a Past Master of the Worshipful Company of Actuaries, sent out earlier this year.  Or to express an interest and find out more please contact Neil Hilary. 

If you are a society, company or association linked with the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries and you would like to post details of a charitable opportunity on this section of our website, please contact Debbie Atkins, Head of Volunteer Engagement.
