Comms and Social Media Volunteer

Do you know how to make stand-out social media content? Do you know your way around reels, stories and posts? Would you like to gain experience in a voluntary organisation? We want to hear from you.

At Age UK Bristol, we want to change the way we age. We aim to keep people aged 55+ well and active, encouraging Bristol to be an Age Friendly city. We do this in 3 ways - through providing practical help and supporting people’s emotional and physical wellbeing in a range of ways depending on their needs.  In addition, we want to prevent people from needing our help wherever possible.  We do this in our strategic work, where we aim to create the conditions for older adults to remain healthy and independent.
