To advertise your Project Opportunities in the Volunteering Service Newsletter, write a short advert that will provide the reader with everything they need to know but can be read quickly and send this to [email protected].
The Newsletter is distributed weekly on Mondays, if you would like your advert to be featured, please send it no later than the previous Monday at 12:00 pm.
Do:
- Start with a punchy sentence that gives a sense of what you’re after (e.g. ‘Calling all sporty students’; ‘Could you inspire a young person?’ ‘Help create a habitat for London’s wildlife’ etc.)
- Follow up with a sentence or two about your Student-Led Project and what you do.
- Say a bit about what the volunteer role is.
- Include the time commitment (how many hours per week / how many months) and where the volunteering will take place.
- State what qualities you’re looking for in a volunteer.
- Say what the volunteers will get out of it.
- Finish by summing up what makes this an attractive volunteering opportunity.
Don't:
- Just send us a flier or poster you’ve done for something else – we need plain text for our newsletter.
- Use bullet points – they make our newsletter too long so we’ll probably edit them out.
- Exceed 50 words.
Here’s an example of an advert from one of previous newsletter:
