• Support exciting communications projects, contributing to internal and external communication campaigns, Trust events and digital engagement activities.

• Create engaging content, including charity impact stories, reports, promotional materials and social media posts that showcase the difference donations make.

• Monitor performance and identify opportunities by tracking fundraising and communication activity, analysing engagement data and supporting new initiatives to increase community involvement.

• Work across dynamic teams, collaborating with Charity and Communications colleagues and representing the teams at events and stakeholder engagements.
