Greenpeace Bristol Group - Local Press and Media Co-ordinator
Do you enjoy creative writing? Have you got an eye for a striking photo? Would you like to get involved in campaigning on global issues in your local area?
Then Greenpeace Bristol Group’s Local Press and Media Co-ordinator role could be right up your street!
About Bristol Greenpeace Group:
Bristol Group provides a public face to Greenpeace campaigns in this area and brings expertise and energy that are vital to Greenpeace’s successes as a campaigning organisation. In addition to campaigning, Bristol Group also organises fundraising and outreach events like film screenings and gigs.
About the role:
Local Press and Media Co-ordinators get local press coverage of group campaigns and activities. This involves sending out press releases, writing letters to the Editor of a paper, taking photos, and building relationships with journalists.
Getting local press coverage means that more people read about our campaigns and know that there’s a local Greenpeace group near them. It also allows us to reach MPs and other decision-makers. Having content written by local people, for local people is so much more relevant and inspiring than anything written by a central press team!
You’ll be part of a Network of Local Press and Media Co-ordinators all across the UK, and supported by a member of staff at Greenpeace.
You’ll usually be asked to do one or two things a month, which will probably take around 4 - 6 hours per month.
Please note this is an unpaid volunteer role.
