Volunteer Telford

Opportunity Description

Introduction to Ironbridge Coracle Trust and the Supporter’s offer The Ironbridge Coracle Trust project is a NLHF project which began in August 2019 and will be completed by the end of October 2022. The project has enabled the Trust to restore the Old Coracle Shed, create a Coracle Man Sculpture, and a New Shed which is now a museum telling the story of Coracles in Ironbridge and run a varied programme of community focused events.

As the project comes to an end, we need to look at sustainability of the site without the financial support of the Heritage Fund. This is where our new ‘Supporter’ offer will be useful. Not only do we see it as a way to make some financial income, but it is also a great way to get our message out to a wider audience, recruit volunteers and market our activities to a wider audience. We aim to launch the offer at the upcoming Regatta.

We have a small team who have currently been planning the offer and launch but we are now looking for someone with more expertise to help us push forward and make sure our launch is as successful as possible.
