ABOUT THE PIONEER CLUB
Founded in 1941 for young evacuees from London during the Second World War, The Pioneer Club is a registered CIC and charity supporting communities in St Albans and beyond. With our partners, we deliver arts programmes, music and skateboarding through events, workshops, training, and classes. Whether it’s live music in our iconic music hall, lessons with our amazing team of pro skateboarders, or on the stage with our performing arts programmes, there’s something for everyone at The Pioneer!
As an historic grassroots music venue, we have witnessed some of the biggest names in music come through our doors, including Motorhead and The Zombies of “She’s Not There”. Enter Shikari are another hugely successful St Albans band who started out at The Pioneer Club, before moving on to achieve global success, including headlining Download Festival and performing at Wembley Arena.
WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT
Taking part in extra cirricular activities is so important for children and young people. Access to skateboarding, dance, music, art and other performing arts leads to benefits such as:
-Improved self-esteem and self-control
- Decreased hyperactivity and inattention
- Reduced antisocial or criminal behaviours
- Improved prosocial behaviours, such as empathy and helping others
Sadly, funding for the youth activity is decreasing year on year. And grassroots music venues are closing at a rate of 2 per week. This affects all young people, but especially those from the least advantaged communities who, as a result, may never pick up a musical instrument or have access to art and culture.
As a charity, we couldn’t exist without the support of our volunteers. As part of the team, you will be helping us to market our events and activities and to develop and support our website, which helps us to raise the funds to keep going, and ensure that every young person has access to the arts, no mater their circumstance.
WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING
Join our dynamic team as a Marketing Volunteer and contribute to making a positive impact on our community. This volunteer position offers a unique opportunity to enhance your marketing skills while supporting our mission to create lasting change.
This role will include:
Web Design: Help us to design, build and launch our new website
Content Creation: Develop engaging and compelling content for various marketing channels, including social media, mailings, and website updates
Social Media Management: Assist in managing and growing our social media presence by creating and scheduling posts, engaging with followers, and tracking analytics
Campaign Support: Contribute to the planning and execution of marketing campaigns to raise awareness and drive support for our charitable initiatives
Collaboration: Work closely with the wider team to brainstorm ideas, provide input on strategies, and contribute to the overall marketing plan
Graphic Design: Create visually appealing graphics for promotional materials, ensuring alignment with our brand guidelines
Research: Stay informed about marketing trends, competitor activities, and relevant news to optimise our marketing efforts

NWR is a membership organisation for women that has been bringing women together for over 60 years. We have over 300 groups across the country who meet for informal chats and discussions. Women of all ages are welcome to join.
What will you do?
Following the success of the new groups in Hertfordshire, we are recruiting volunteers across the country to set up new NWR groups in their area. These NWR groups will meet monthly in a local pub or bar with a set theme – this theme acts as an icebreaker and ensures that no two meetings feel the same! Themes could cover a wide range of topics and are designed to be light-hearted and an opener for conversations that could lead anywhere (and usually do!).
We hear from many members about how much joy NWR membership has brought to their lives; the friendships forged, companionship and wide-ranging conversations held. We want to reach more women to give them this opportunity.
Your role would be to run the group: promote it, schedule and run the meetings and respond to enquiries.
Who are we looking for?
We are looking for volunteers who enjoy meeting and talking to new people, are familiar with using social media and have excellent administration and IT skills. In a nutshell, we’re looking for a “people person” who is comfortable with a spreadsheet and social media!
What will we provide?
We will provide training and support from staff who have experience of setting up and running a group as well as templates and promotional material for you to use. You would also be part of a friendly network of other volunteers.
The amount of time spent on the role will vary from week to week. It is estimated that the role will require 5-10 hours a month, which includes time spent at your meetings.
