Who are Midland Mencap?
Midland Mencap is a charity which works and campaigns for accessible and inclusive services and a better quality of life for everyone with experience of learning disabilities and additional needs.
Purpose of the role.

· Building up confidence on busy roads
· Sharing experiences of things like cycling at night or what clothes to wear
· Checking bikes together before a ride
Bike Buddies provide crucial support and motivation to help people to participate in inclusive and adapted outdoor cycling. Volunteers support cyclists to achieve their fitness goals and enjoy cycling in our community.
Our Bike Buddies are great ambassadors for cycling, sharing their expertise of local routes and giving others the confidence to get around by bike.
If you feel confident cycling on the road or in a park with someone else, and are wanting to give back to others, this is the role for you.
What would I be doing?
You’ll need to find out what they want to do and where they want to go. Some people want to explore quiet streets locally or plan a longer journey. You may ride to the park or show them local routes – quiet ways, new cycle lanes and off-road paths are popular.
They may want to try out junctions or crossing busy roads – think about how to ride those safely. You may support a person at one of our pre-arranged Parkride cycle meetings and help them to develop the skills and confidence to cycle safely and independently.
What do I need?
This role will require:
· A roadworthy bike and riding equipment.

· Accepting of people who may be different to you

· Good time management skills, reliability
· An enhanced DBS check will be required by all successful applicants.
When and where do you need me?
Either at organised events or 1-2-1 within your local area.
Ideally you can meet once or twice a month for approx. 2 hours.
We have parkride sessions running throughout the week including evenings and weekends.
What’s in it for me?
As one of our valued volunteers, Midland Mencap will offer you:
• The opportunity to make a difference to the lives of people with disabilities and their family carers
• An induction and settling in period
• Any training and development that is needed
• The chance to develop your skills and gain experience

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
ARE YOU?
- A great communicator
- Hands on, and willing to use initiative
- Flexible and adaptive
- A team player, looking to be part of a great group of like minded people
- Passionate and knowledgeable about marketing
- Reliable, and able to commit to the role
- Proficient in graphic design tools
If this sounds like you, we would love to have you on our team!
TIME COMMITMENT
We can’t deliver our services without the generosity and time of our volunteers, so work to be flexible around you. You can commit to anything from a few hours a week, or more.
WHAT CAN WE GIVE YOU?
- A benefits package including: access to exclusive Pioneer supporter events, early booking privileges for music and other events, room booking discount, a free weekly skate session
