Working closely with the fundraising and volunteer teams to capture their real-life stories and inspirations and spin this into newsworthy content for our audiences.
Helping deliver targeted campaigns that attract new volunteers and funds.
Producing data for reports and analytics- we are an organisation led by data and in part measure our success through continuous analysis of our numbers.
Sending out leaflets and posters to our NHS partners and other organisations.
Managing and overseeing the Communications calendar and inbox, ensuring we stay on top of trending and seasonal points of interest. Responding to media and external enquiries.
