Volunteer Events Advisor

What will you be doing?

Home-Start Northampton is looking for a volunteer events manager advisor to help boost their much needed fundraising and awareness. Home-Start Northampton works in the local community to support families with children under 5 years old, by offering practical and emotional support through a network of trained volunteers and support groups. We need hands-on support from a volunteer events manager – someone who can find, organise/project manage events in the community. You don’t necessarily need to be working in a similar role, but you do need to be organised, pro-active and work with our social media advisor, to jointly have a creative flair that will help our events advertising cut through the noise. What is a Home-Start Advisor?

Our advisors support the Board by providing expertise and guidance in their area of expertise, on an ad-hoc, remote basis. You can provide advisory completely remotely and give as much or as little time as you can spare. You could be invited to our Board or sub-committee meetings but our advisors are not official Board roles and you do not have to join as a charity trustee.
