  Nov 2012 - Jun 2014

  Marketing Assistant, Volunteer

  As a volunteer on the charity's fund raising committee I was heavily involved in coming up with ideas for potential fund raising events. As part of this role I was involved in the Marketing, planning and organisation of these events and their promotion to the general public. Our latest success was a local multi-venue gig called the "Are You Listening? Festival." which in its first year in 2013 took just over £10,000 raising over £8,000 for the charity. In the second year of the event in 2014 the "Are You Listening? Festival" took £14,000 raising £7,000 for the charity.The role has allowed me to practically apply my sales and teamwork skills in a competitive environment enabling me to grow and improve these skills.Good communication skills and the ability to work in a team were important for this role. As I was working to a deadline, being able to work well in a team was integral in the success of any events planned.I won the "Volunteer of the year" award June 2013 - June 2014 for the quality of work I put into the role role.References available on request.
