Closing Date

“I love being a campaigns volunteer for the MND Association, it means I can give something back to the MND Community, who along with the Association provide a lot of support for people like me” - Ian Lev   

 

What is campaigning?

These are some of the things you could do as a Campaigns Volunteer! Our team will be here to support you in whatever you’re doing. 

  • Sharing the MND Association’s campaigns on social media. 

  • Contacting local councillors to improve services for people living with and affected by MND in your area. 

  • Talking to MPs and other decision-makers about what MND is and why it’s important that people have access to high quality health and care services. 

  • Working with MND Association staff to identify issues and gather evidence for campaigns. 

  • Help to change laws to improve the lives of people living with and affected by MND. 

 

This role will suit you if:  

  • You want to make a positive difference for people living with and affected by MND. 

  • You’re interested in learning and improving your campaigning skills. 

  • You’re a good communicator. No matter where your interest lies, be it writing e-mails or talking to people, sharing stories or providing us with feedback, you have so much to offer! 

  • You are computer literate and have access to email and the internet, or someone who can help you with this. 

  • Willing to work autonomously but also link up with others when needed. 

 

‘Campaigning really works! It’s not as hard as it may sound – just be yourself and you’ll be making a positive difference for people living with and affected by MND.’ - Judith Rice 

 

What’s in it for you?

  • A chance to make a difference to the lives of those living with and affected by MND.  

  • Get access to a range of training events where you can develop campaigning skills and network with other Campaigns Volunteers. 

  • Join a friendly and dedicated team. 

  • Exclusive early access to our campaign plans and developments in our campaigning. 

  • Opportunity to connect with, learn and share with other Campaign Volunteers in our Facebook group!  

 

How flexible is the role? 

The time required is flexible, but we would hope Campaigns Volunteers would commit to a minimum of 1-2 hours per week.  

We do understand that this role may need to fit around your family, studies, caring or other commitments.
