Do you have marketing experience?

Marketing / PR volunteer needed for Private: Berkshire PHAB Centre in RG1

We are keen to recruit a trustee with a marketing/PR background.

We are a well-established charity and have been in the Reading area for over 40 years, now based in a community centre in Mount Pleasant, close to the centre of Reading.

As a charity, we help disabled and non-disabled people share experiences and socialise, and offer activities designed for all abilities. The purpose-built Berkshire Phab centre opens four days a week as a drop-in club for adults, and every Saturday for young people in our youth club, providing an excellent
service to disabled users from Reading, West Berkshire, Wokingham and South Oxfordshire.

The board of trustees meets once a month, currently on a Monday evening at the centre.

As well as helping to set the strategic direction of the charity, we need someone who can :

  • produce marketing and advertising to potential clients and funders
  • produce press releases and create links with local publishers
  • create content for our website and social media
  • network with other charitable organisations, corporates and trusts
  • plan, cost and run fundraising events and campaigns

If you choose to become a trustee you will be expected to serve a term of 1-2 years.
