Working with the charity WORLDwrite, volunteers are needed to join a team committed to developing an alternative monthly newsreel and fledgling News Channel. Covering work produced by the charity’s volunteers, as well as key debates and issues, the newsreel will examine the hot issues, investigate alternative views and summarise opinions. The newsreels will not cover the usual stories or existing preoccupations but will seek out local and global subjects which challenge prevailing assumptions, advance new knowledge and critique contemporary fads. With an uncompromising stance on global equality, the fledgling channel and its monthly programme will seek to influence prevailing attitudes and ideas. WORLDwrite is looking for a volunteer new channel fundraiser who can imaginatively pull the funding to make the channel and its productions tip top in terms of equipment, set design and sound quality. The fundraiser will do justice to all the volunteer input for this channel by sourcing possible funding, chatting up possible sponsors and asking for the cash. Volunteers can take on the whole job or smaller aspects. Time is flexible for this project and can be done from home or college. This project welcomes newcomers to the UK to help advance a truly global perspective.

No experience is required but a professional manner, good communication skills, being a people person and having an upfront attitude will pay dividends. A commitment to global equality is a must!
