Much has been achieved but there is still more to do ... We have a bold and exciting vision to ensure that everyone experiences Gold Standard end of life care.

Volunteer with the RNLI and help us to save lives in the sea and on the Thames

Our Gravesend Lifeboat station fundraising branch is currently putting together an exciting events calander for the year ahead and would like to recruit a volunteer to support them in promoting events, advertising recruitment vacancies and promoting the operational and engagement work of the RNLI in Gravesend on social media.

This is a post that might suit someone looking to volunteer, but unable to give a fixed, regular commitment as it can be carried out flexibly to fit around existing commitments. The group has a small social media presence they're looking to develop and we would like you to work closely on this with the lifeboat station crew as well as the fundraising team. Much of the work could be carried out remotely, but the group are keen to find someone fairly local to Gravesend as in addition to some local knowledge being useful, they'd love you to be able to join them for the occasional event or get together.

This role can be a fixed term volunteer post if that's preferred by the applicant - ideally we would like a minimum of around 3 months in order to get an online presence established. 

Thank you for your support!

Happy Yoga was created to help clients manage their pain, injuries, physical, mental and emotional health via multiple training modalities (instead of preaching one method), primarily Pilates, yoga, personal training, breathing and meditation. The client focus is mainly on our ever-growing senior population, pre/post natal women, beginners, and trauma-sensitive groups. In addition the plan is to expand to kids offerings. All are welcome but Happy Yoga's primary focus are niche populations.

Happy Yoga solves these challenges by creating offerings for private and group sessions that are focused on populations considered niche but would also benefit from movement, self-care, self-awareness and healing. Examples of those populations are pre and post natal women, senior citizens, people who have experiences trauma (they may also fall into the above categories as well).

MARKETING STRATEGY

• Help redesign our logo and help come up with a new marketing strategy to implement. We have been word of mouth for a long time and it is time to expand beyond that.
• Volunteer 2-3 hours per week for 3-4 weeks.

Our volunteers are called Mudder MVPs (Most Valuable Players) because they are the driving force behind our team and creating amazing life-changing experiences.

We have something for everyone who wants to volunteer, from being the first to greet thousands of Mudders, cheering them on as they are challenged through a series of obstacles, or crowning Mudders with those hard-earned headbands.
