- Put the volunteer experience front and centre - craft communications and support journeys that motivate and retain volunteers, ensuring every person who gives their time feels valued, informed and connected to our mission.
- Grow our community footprint - partner with the Fundraising and Strategic Partnerships team to expand Baby Cafés and postnatal drop-ins, and identify creative community fundraising campaigns that extend our reach to more families.
