Volunteer with the RNLI and help us to save lives in the sea and on the Thames
Our Gravesend Lifeboat station fundraising branch is currently putting together an exciting events calander for the year ahead and would like to recruit a volunteer to support them in promoting events, advertising recruitment vacancies and promoting the operational and engagement work of the RNLI in Gravesend on social media.
This is a post that might suit someone looking to volunteer, but unable to give a fixed, regular commitment as it can be carried out flexibly to fit around existing commitments. The group has a small social media presence they're looking to develop and we would like you to work closely on this with the lifeboat station crew as well as the fundraising team. Much of the work could be carried out remotely, but the group are keen to find someone fairly local to Gravesend as in addition to some local knowledge being useful, they'd love you to be able to join them for the occasional event or get together.
This role can be a fixed term volunteer post if that's preferred by the applicant - ideally we would like a minimum of around 3 months in order to get an online presence established.
Thank you for your support!

Tracy Jones, Director of Family Wellbeing and Outreach Services for Tŷ Hafan, said: “When families are told that their child’s life is going to be short, their whole world changes. It changes again when they realise they must consider end of life care, and again, when they finally lose their child.
“Tŷ Hafan is there to provide endless support to families from the moment their world changes.
“We can’t give a family more time, but Tŷ Hafan can make sure those families who find themselves facing a nightmare such as those faced by families in our care, have the time and the support they need.”
