IBC Marketing Volunteer (IBC Marketing Volunteer)

The Isabel Blackman Centre reopened its doors in July 2022. Driven by a local effort to restore this community asset offering health, exercise, food, retail and wellbeing activities for people 50 and over and based in Hastings Old Town, we have gotten off to a brilliant start. Already we have over 500 people locally who engage with our activities on a regular basis. We now want to see the centre go from strength to strength and to do this require a positive, engaging marketing presence throughout the town; letting everybody know what’s going on whilst encouraging them to visit regularly and help us achieve a sustainable offer far into the future. Once per month you will visit businesses on our distribution list and ensure they have posters, leaflets and flyers that are current, colourful and tidy. All such marketing tools represent our centre to the wider community and so it is vital they do so positively. We anticipate much of the distribution list can be reached easily on foot but will cover out of pocket expenses to cover the more distant places. The time commitment required is a minimum of one shift per month, we anticipate this taking around 5 hours. The shift could be across a morning, afternoon, or whole day to suit your other commitments. We’ll provide all the training and support that you need. We’ll also reimburse the cost of any reasonably incurred out-of-pocket travelling expenses.
