A Community Connector helps Carers UK connect with carers and promote awareness of caring by distributing publicity material – such as leaflets and posters – within local communities.
- You’ll make contact with community hubs and arrange to put up posters or leave information leaflets.
- Your local supermarket, library, GP surgery, faith group or gym would be a great starting point! We’ll give you more tips on how to get started in your Volunteering Pack.
- You’ll identify smaller local charities that support people with long term conditions and supply them with Carers UK publicity materials.
- We also require you to keep us informed about what you’ve been up to, feed your achievements back to us and let us know where you’ve been distributing materials.
It’s a great opportunity to meet new people, spread the word and have the satisfaction of making a real difference to carers’ lives in the area where you live. You’ll also be part of Carers UK’s flagship volunteering programme and we’ll be supporting you all the way.
