Liverpool Advocates For Windrush
PR & media volunteer needed to amplify LAW’s Windrush justice work
Liverpool Advocates For Windrush (LAW) needs a PR & media outreach volunteer to help us turn our frontline Windrush work into stories that reach the wider public, decision-makers and potential supporters. At the moment, we have powerful case studies, insight and events, but limited time and expertise to pitch them effectively to journalists and media outlets.
We’re looking for someone with experience in PR, journalism or communications who can help us shape key messages, draft press releases and op-eds, build a simple media list (local, national and specialist outlets), and identify good “hooks” such as anniversaries, reports or policy changes. Experience preparing spokespeople for interviews and advising on media handling would be especially valuable.
Success would look like: a small but active media contact list, 1–2 strong press releases or story pitches around our work, and increased coverage of Windrush justice issues with LAW as a trusted voice. This will help ensure that the experiences of those affected by Windrush are heard, strengthen pressure for change, and connect more people to the support and advocacy we provide.
