Marketing volunteer volunteer roles

About PEP
PEP Enterprise CIC is a Lancashire-based organisation focused on GEM leadership and representation, creating opportunities for voices and communities that are too often missing from the spaces where decisions are made.
We bring people and organisations together, creating powerful partnerships and collaborations that deliver meaningful change for the communities we work alongside. Our work spans leadership, education, employment and wellbeing, but our ambition goes further than delivering projects. We want to influence systems, challenge barriers and create lasting change in representation, opportunity and who gets to lead.
Be Brave. Be Authentic. Be That Change.

About Padel Power
Padel Power – More Than a Game.
Padel Power is PEP Enterprise’s women-focused physical activity and wellbeing initiative, using the rapidly growing sport of padel to bring women together, get them active and create a strong sense of community.
We recognise that women can face very different barriers to becoming active – from confidence, isolation and mental wellbeing to cultural, financial and social barriers. Padel Power creates an accessible and welcoming way for women to get moving, meet others and build confidence. Through beginner programmes, regular games, coaching, events and tournaments, we create pathways for women to start playing, progress and become part of a growing padel community. The padel gets women through the door. The connection, confidence and community are what make it more than a game.

The Role
We're looking for creative volunteers to help us tell our story online. You'll get real responsibility, space to try ideas and the chance to create work for both PEP and the growing Padel Power brand.
 

What You'll Do

• Create posts, graphics, reels and stories for Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and TikTok.
• Help plan and schedule content.
• Turn our projects, people and events into clear, engaging stories.
• Bring fresh ideas to help grow our online communities.

Who We're Looking For
You might be a student, an aspiring marketer, an experienced creative wanting to give something back, or simply someone with a good eye and a willingness to learn.

What You'll Gain

• Hands-on experience and work for your portfolio.
• Creative ownership rather than just observing.
• A supportive team and a reference upon request.

Commitment & Apply
A few flexible hours each week. This is a volunteer role. To apply, send us your CV or a short introduction and, if you have one, a link to examples of your work.

Join the Team and Help Us Build the Future of The Swadhinata Trust
