Marketing/PR, supporting Uganda projects - Volunteer

Uganda Lodge Charity; Shepperton; On-site; Full time

Job description

We are looking for an experienced volunteer who can take the lead in strengthening our charity's marketing, PR fundraising and online presence.

Our charity supports a school and medical centre in rural SW Uganda, enabling 500 children to receive an education they could not normally afford.

What difference will you make?

Your knowledge, creativity, and guidance could help us tell our story more effectively, reach new supporters, increase vital fundraising, and build a stronger, more sustainable future for our charity.

Ultimately, your contribution will help transform the lives of hundreds more disadvantaged children and their families in rural Uganda over many years to come, by enabling them to access education, healthcare, and opportunities to build brighter futures.

What are we looking for?

We are looking for someone with experience in marketing, communications, PR, or digital fundraising who is enthusiastic about using their skills to make a real difference. You should be confident in developing and implementing social media and digital marketing strategies, creating engaging content, and identifying opportunities to increase awareness and support for our charity.

Experience of online fundraising campaigns, email marketing, or working with websites would be an advantage, but the most important qualities are creativity, initiative, and a willingness to share your knowledge with others.

As we are a small volunteer-led charity, we're looking for someone who enjoys working collaboratively, is happy to work independently, and is able to communicate clearly with a team of dedicated volunteers. We hope to build a long-term relationship with someone who is committed to helping us grow our profile, strengthen our fundraising, and support the continued development of our volunteer team.

Above all, we're looking for someone who shares our passion for improving the lives of disadvantaged children and their families in rural Uganda and who wants to use their professional skills to create lasting social impact.
