Volunteering Opportunities

The Wimbledon Community Association is a local long-established charity based in the London Borough of Merton which runs the Wimblecomm website.

The small team of three trustees is looking for volunteers and prospective trustees to help develop our website and our presence across the borough.

We are currently almost entirely self-funded (from a dividend on an investment) and provide a platform for local organisations to promote their spaces and activities across the whole of the borough. In addition, we have a growing number of groups who have joined up on the website in recent years.

Our long-standing member of staff left earlier this year and her replacement is currently being advertised here.  The role is currently being filled by a temporary staff member.  We also have a website developer, who provides a minimum of 1 day per month supporting the website.

More information about our history and our existing trustees and staff can be found here About WCA – Wimbledon Community Association

We are now looking for people with time to spare who would like to assist us with the next stage of our development and outreach.  In particular, we are keen to meet and recruit passionate, local community minded people with experience and / or skills in one or more of the following areas:

• Ambassadors for Wimblecomm to recruit new venues and groups to become members of our growing community website;
• People with skills in writing stories or recording short videos about local groups, venues and events for promotion on the website and social media;
• People with experience in managing content on complex websites, collecting website data and website monetisation;
• People with experience of developing and using current and new social media channels to promote Wimblecomm;
• People with wider community experience for example in marketing, securing grant funding or running events or promoting general community wellbeing

The existing trustees manage the finance, governance, company secretarial and charity requirements but if you have experience and skills in these areas, we would also be interested in meeting you.

If you would like to meet us to have an informal chat, tell us about yourself and find out more about what we do please drop us an email at recruitment@wimbledoncommunity.org or ring our Chair David Hall on 07974 371812.
