Voluntary positions

Volunteering is one of the most rewarding ways to commit your free time. By working with Hope and Homes for Children you will be making a real difference to the lives of vulnerable and orphaned children worldwide.

Our volunteers assist us in a variety of ways, from ensuring the smooth running of our reception, to getting involved in our fundraising initiatives.

Communications Team Copywriter Volunteer
(Full or part time / Office or home based)

Are you creative with copy, particular about punctuation or a wonder with words? Would you like to volunteer your skills to help transform children's lives?

If the answer is yes then we may have the role for you. We are looking for a voluntary copywriter to join our Communications Team. You will have the opportunity to research and write text for newsletters, websites, annual reviews and marketing materials. Your experience and passion for writing will equip you with the necessary skills to write for a wide range of audiences – from school children to captains of industry. You’ll also have an inquiring mind, with excellent attention to detail, to ensure that all the ‘i’s are dotted and the ‘t’s are crossed.

You may be a college graduate, school leaver, on a career break or retired – whatever your circumstances we want to hear from you. For more information about this voluntary position download our fact sheet. You will need Adobe Reader to view this PDF file. Download Adobe Reader for free.
