| Greenpeace Plymouth Local 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 Plymouth Local Group’s Local Press and Media Co-ordinator role could be right up your street! About Plymouth Greenpeace Local Group: Plymouth Local Group is a new Group. It provides a public face to Greenpeace campaigns in the area and brings expertise and energy that are vital to Greenpeace’s successes as a campaigning organisation. In addition to campaigning, Plymouth 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 the Plymouth Group, a Network of Local 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, alongside going to monthly meetings and supporting with campaign activities. Please note this is an unpaid volunteer role. You are… • Interested in global campaigning, such as on climate change, plastics, deforestation • Friendly and confident engaging with members of the public • Happy to get involved with the Plymouth Local Group and to go along to monthly meetings and take part in campaign activities • An excellent written communicator • Able to take a good photo • You don’t have to be really knowledgeable about the media, or a trained journalist – we provide training and support • Internet and computer savvy, and have reliable internet access • Ideally available for at least one year, but we understand that circumstances can change, and we want to make the role work for you • Local to Plymouth Get in touch with Laura.Burley@greenpeace.org, Greenpeace’s Local Media Network Co-ordinator if you have any questions.
