24 Practitioner volunteer volunteer roles

What is a Community Connector?
A Community Connector helps Carers UK connect 
with carers and promote awareness of caring by 
distributing publicity material – such as leaflets and 
posters – within local communities

What will you get out of it?
It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, spread 
the word and have the satisfaction of making a 
real difference to carers’ lives in the area where 
you live. You’ll also be part of Carers UK’s flagship 
volunteering programme and we’ll be supporting 
you all the way.y.

What’s involved?
• You’ll make contact with community hubs and 
arrange to put up posters or leave information 
leaflets. Your local supermarket, library, GP 
surgery, faith group or gym would be a great 
starting point! We’ll give you more tips on how to 
get started in your Volunteering Pack. 
• You’ll identify smaller local charities that support 
people with long term conditions and supply 
them with Carers UK publicity materials. 
• We also require you to keep us informed about 
what you’ve been up to, feed your achievements 
back to us and let us know where you’ve been 
distributing materials.

How we will support you
We’ll give you all the tools you need to get started 
– your Volunteering Pack will include a Volunteer 
Handbook plus tips and guidelines on getting out 
there for the first time. We’ll also deliver the publicity 
materials directly to you, as well as cover your travel 
expenses.
