Community Champion
The main role of a Community Champion is to help raise support in their community for TWAM. This will mean organising events (or finding people to organise them) such as coffee mornings, quiz nights, open gardens and all sorts of creative ways to fundraise. It means keeping an eye on what is going on in the community and perhaps finding people to enter sponsored events such as fun runs, 10Ks, walks for TWAM. It will include working with our other volunteers to arrange events such as TWAM evenings with coffee and cake or a buffet. Community Fundraisers need to be people with big ideas and the energetic enthusiasm to see them through.
What will you be doing?
You will work within your local community,
Church, or community group to promote TWAM
and help raise the funds we need to keep the
tools flowing.
You will organise events of all kinds or find
others to do them for you, from music nights to
traditional coffee mornings.
You’ll get pull-up banners, leaflets, resources
and loads of support from everyone at TWAM
from the Volunteering Coordinator and the
Fundraising and Communications Officer to your
local TWAM Tool Ambassadors and Community
Ambassadors.
Overall, you’ll be telling everyone how great
TWAM is are and why we need their support.
About Tools With a Mission
We are a Christian charity that collects unwanted usable tools, refurbishes them, sorts them into trade tool kits and sends them to the developing world for livelihood creation. We send around 16 containers filled with a total of around 225 tonnes of tools every year. These tools range from sewing machines and knitting machines to carpentry tools and mechanics tools.
What skills do I need?
What are we looking for?
Passionate, energetic people who can organise things and get things done, and people who can identify others and mobilise them to organise events. We really need people who can work as a team and really get stuck into the very exciting role.
What difference will you make?
We always need people to collect tools and refurbish
them, but without the funds to run our vans and keep
our Refurbishment Centres operating, nothing would
happen. Shipping to Africa costs a lot of money and
again, we need the funds to do it. This is why the
Community Champion is so important, and this is the
difference you will make, because nothing happens
without the people willing to ask for the funds to run the
charity.
