New Group Coordinator
About NWR
NWR (National Women’s Register) is a membership charity combating social isolation in older women. Our members often join after a significant life event – moving house, empty nest, retirement or bereavement. Our aim is to help our members connect via in-person and on-line meet-ups, activities and events. We have 315 local groups across the UK and are looking for helpful, friendly volunteers to help us set up more.
What will I be doing?
This voluntary role requires 3-4 hours commitment per month, for 3-6 months, helping the friendly and supportive NWR Head Office team to set up new local groups in your area. This involves:
-
Liaising with HO team to establish best location for new group
-
Advising the HO team on a suitable venue and time for the first meeting (coffee shop/pub/hall)
-
Helping the HO team to promote the group/meet-ups to local community Facebook groups (we will provide all marketing content)
-
Hosting the initial meetings – we can provide you icebreaker topics and any support you need. Helping everyone to feel welcome and included.
Who will this role suit?
Anyone who wants to help tackle social isolation by providing a friendly face and a helping hand to enable women to connect. Sometimes a smile and a chat is enough to make someone’s day:
‘You never know what people are going through and sometimes the people with the biggest smiles are struggling the most, so be kind’
