We're looking for a creative and organised Newsletter Volunteer to produce our local newsletter for members, parents, and other relevant individuals.
Key tasks for your role
- Decide on the theme and content for each issue of the newsletter.
- Ensure regular items are included, such as: news from the area, a diary/adverts for parent support activities (like bumps & babies groups and coffee mornings), reports on past fundraising events and adverts for future ones, volunteering opportunities, and other NCT information.
- Integrate adverts (in line with NCT's Commercial Activities Policy) from local companies/services to cover production and distribution costs and ideally contribute to fundraising profits.
- Balance articles on pregnancy, birth, and early parenting that are relevant and useful to readers, and encourage others to contribute their experiences.
- Reflect NCT’s wide range of issues and services, including membership and advertisements for our antenatal and postnatal courses.
- Secure consent for any personal information, volunteer contact details, and photographs.
- Collaborate with an Advertising Volunteer if one is working to sell advertising space.
To be successful in this role, it's really useful if you have, or are willing to acquire, knowledge and understanding of:
- NCT’s vision, purpose, and beliefs, including current campaigns and latest strategy.
Time Commitment
This is a flexible role designed to fit around your existing commitments. You could volunteer with as little as 1 hour per week, though the exact time commitment will depend on the frequency and duration of your Newsletter
