Visitors from Fifth Day

Welcome to Reach Volunteering. We are a community and registered charity that connects people, skills and good causes.

To apply for this role, and any other on our platform, you need to be based in the UK, have at least three years of experience using the skills you wish to volunteer in a professional capacity or have lived experience (for trustee roles). Read more about our criteria.

Although there are many supporters of new allotment sites, there are also people who are not too keen plus a raft of new businesses seeking to make a lot of money out of allotments. Can you help us stand out?

What will you be doing?

Occasional specialist advice and guidance on the charity's public relations. This role can be based anywhere in England and Wales.

We will ask you for advice or signposting on a particular topic/theme we want to explore or are currently encountering issues with. 

This role can be tailored to your circumstances to suit you, e.g. by email, phone or zoom. You will work directly with the CEO, who has 20 years experience of working with specialist remote-based volunteers. If you wish, you can enter into wider comms with our small team of specialist volunteers. 

Volunteers are at the heart of our charity and are involved in everything we do. All of the people here at Green Allotments have been involved in volunteering from a young age, believing in the value of the ideas volunteers bring.

There are no set hours when volunteering for us and you can turn down anything that you are offered. We are a home-based charity with no bricks and mortar premises.

What are we looking for?

We are seeking a well-regarded experienced PR advisor. You can be based anywhere in England or Wales.

What difference will you make?

Allotments are great for individuals, communities, wildlife and climate! Thousands of people are desperate to get an allotment, your time with us will help more people to enjoy the benefits of allotments: improved mental and physical health, along with improved biodiversity and the stronger local ties that come from growing in the community.

Before you apply

Please apply via Reach and include some examples of PR campaigns/scenarios you have worked in.
