Administrative Assistants
WORLDwrite
Confident, efficient and capable volunteers who want to become great administrators are badly needed at the charity WORLDwrite to meticulously work on our paperwork. WORLDwrite makes short films that impact on the world, but many don't realise that filmmaking is 90% administration work. Working with new and existing volunteers on projects that challenge the status quo, the opportunity exists for volunteers to take on all aspects of this important role, or to take on smaller tasks such as filing, dealing with new enquiries, answering letters, updating databases, meeting report deadlines, record keeping, minute taking and spotting mistakes.

Online Mentoring

Horsesmouth
Horsesmouth is a safe, purpose-built, confidential website for informal e-mentoring. We are looking for anyone who has an experience to share and is aged sixteen plus to volunteer and become a mentor.At sixteen or indeed 60 you may be wondering what qualifies you to be a mentor. Well you don't have to have any training or qualifications. Horsesmouth is not a professional advisory service. What it is, however, is a sounding board for those occasions in life when people really want to talk to someone whos been there and done that.So, if you have some time to spare (10 minutes or 10 hours) you can help support and inspire others by registering as a mentor. From starting a business to starting a family; from life with cancer to life as a carer; from which A level, NVQ or undergraduate course to whither an MBA; someone needs what you know. As a mentor you will be asked to complete a fairly thought provoking questionnaire. It shouldnt take any longer than 15 minutes to complete, but after its been approved you can get online and respond to calls for help.A key principle of the Horsesmouth site is that we all have something to give and gain so in addition to mentoring someone, you may find your own mentor on Horsesmouth.

Fundraising Support Superstar
African Revival
African Revival works with marginalised communities in East and Southern Africa. Our aim is simple - to equip Africans with the skills and resources they need to lift themselves out of poverty. Our focus is on education and sustainable livelihoods projects - building schools, teaching teachers, providing access to clean and safe water, and training local people to set-up and manage their own small income-generating.A great opportunity for a motivated and energetic individual to get involved with a local charity providing aid and assistance to marginalised communities in East and Southern Africa. The ideal candidate will be outgoing and approachable, have a strong interest in International Development, preferably educated to A-level, and have excellent IT and communication skills. The purpose of the Fundraising Support Superstar is to provide creative and administrative support to the Fundraising Team - building up and reinforcing links with local schools, universities, and businesses; masterminding new fundraising events and ideas; and using your creative spark to design fundraising packs and initiatives to recruit new supporters and raise the profile of African Revival in the local community through a range of multi-media.With the guidance and support of the Fundraising Team, the role will involve a variety of tasks - researching new fundraising avenues on the internet, telephoning, writing to and visiting local schools and businesses, updating supporter information on the African Revival Database and using it to send out target mailings, designing posters and fundraising packs to promote African Revival, and helping out at our local events. As office space is limited at African Revival, there is an opportunity to undertake much of this work from home (providing you have internet access), and then pop into the AR office once a week to have a brief progress meeting with the fundraising team.
