ECOE needs your help as we refocus on our renewable energy generation activity and complete the transition of our energy advice work to a different charity. We’re looking for help in two areas: Volunteer Directors and Volunteers. Find details of the different roles below, and details for how to apply at the bottom.
Volunteer directors
The director roles best suit people who have a strong interest in helping the environment and/or local community and would therefore be motivated to spend their spare time on this. We are ideally looking for people able to commit a significant amount of time, upwards of ten hours per month, but welcome all enquiries. This is your chance to do something real to address the climate emergency!
We are particularly looking for directors with some skills in any of the following areas:
- Computing, email and websites
- Renewable energy project development
- Marketing
- Finance
- Business development
- Running community events
- Writing funding bids
- Running grant funding schemes
- Managing volunteers
