We would love some support in developing the media skills for the senior management team, particularly with live interviews/interviews. We don't need presentation skills but more how we can enhance our performance when working with radio and television news teams. This would help us raise our profile and improve our influencing impact.

Quick Fix: 1-4 hours

We are looking for a social media expert to deliver a workshop as part of our charity's Fellowship Programme in order to:

a) help us increase engagement and

b) help our Fellows strengthen their technical skills using social media. We currently use TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Twitter, and we mainly use these platforms to share charity news and events and to post short educational videos.

The workshop will be delivered to around 17 master's degree level university students and recent graduates who make up the Fellows in our Fellowship Programme. Every year, Fellows work in small groups to design and run projects seeking to advance our charity's objectives, and this year, we are seeking to implement a social media requirement in which every project must engage with our social media channels.

We are ideally looking for a volunteer who is passionate about promoting equal rights in Palestine/Israel with a specific focus on the role of the UK government and society. We would like for our Fellows to leave the workshop feeling confident about using social media and knowing how to increase the engagement our charity enjoys. This will help us reach a wider and younger audience.

Focussed Help: 5-8 hours

Heritage | Creating | Remote or Face to Face

We are preparing to launch our first-ever public fundraising campaign to celebrate our 25th anniversary, and we need support in building a robust communications strategy. This is a challenge for us as it is new territory! We also need someone with PR expertise to help us enlist a PR firm. We have worked with one previously and the results were not as expected.

We are looking for a volunteer with experience in developing comprehensive campaign strategies (ideally for charity fundraising) and a strong understanding of how PR firms operate. Success for us would mean us having a comprehensive campaign strategy that we can execute, as well as securing a PR firm at a reasonable cost that understands our charity and impact and is able to secure a few high-profile media placements, enabling us to grow our audience and meet our fundraising target.

By reaching more people, we can raise the funds necessary to continue supporting young people, who have faced challenges, to develop skills and confidence and start their own businesses. This campaign will show the impact we’ve made over 25 years and lay the groundwork for future growth.

A great school library is a vibrant space at the heart of the school that allows children to satisfy their curiosity, stimulate their creativity, and become independent, inquiring young people. A great school library has a hugely positive impact, not only on children’s academic progress but on their mental health and wellbeing.

Despite this, many schools do not have a library. They are not statutory and are continually misunderstood and undervalued. At Great School Libraries, we believe that every child deserves a great school library. Through our campaign, we want to bring libraries back to every school in the UK.

We are in need of some digital marketing support to help improve our social media channels and improve our website. If you have digital marketing expertise or are looking to boost your experience, we would love to hear from you for a chat about how you could help us shout louder about our campaign!

This is a great opportunity to help manage a campaign and be a part of something positive.

We record some services and take photos and post them to Facebook. We design flyers on Canva and post them to Facebook and print.

We share events via our notices (printed, email, Facebook, and the web). We post volunteer opportunities online (charity Job, Indeed, Restless, Do-it, Neighbourly) and fundraisers.

We are looking for graphic design, copy and strategy skills. We want to increase our reach and engagement (463 likes to 611 followers). The goal is for more people to attend events, book (hire) our space and get involved as volunteers to help our community etc.

What will you be doing?

One of our strategic goals is to grow our social media followers as this is a vital channel for us to recruit students onto our programmes. We've been stagnant on Instagram for about a year, although we are seeing better results on our recently launched TikTok channel. We now want to engage influencers to amplify our voice. This is a completely new area for us and we would value advice on how to implement a cost-conscious influencer strategy. You will work with the CEO and Marketing Officer on this project. Our existing knowledge of this area is non-existent so we are open to the role flexing if you identify other factors that we should be addressing to achieve the desired outcome.

What are we looking for?

Social media, marketing, influencer marketing. This will be a learning experience for us, so we need a strong communicator who is comfortable explaining and teaching us how to move forward.
