The main role of a Community Champion is to help raise support in their community for TWAM.  This will mean organising events (or finding people to organise them) such as coffee mornings, quiz nights, open gardens and all sorts of creative ways to fundraise.  It means keeping an eye on what is going on in the community and perhaps finding people to enter sponsored events such as fun runs, 10Ks, walks for TWAM.  It will include working with our other volunteers to arrange events such as TWAM evenings with coffee and cake or a buffet.  Community Fundraisers need to be people with big ideas and energetic enthusiasm to see them through.  You will work within your local community church, or community group to promote TWAM and help raise the funds we need to keep the tools flowing.  You will organise events of all kinds or find others to do them for you, from music nights to traditional coffee mornings.  You'll get pull-up banners, leaflets, resources and loads of support from everyone at TWAM from the Volunteering Coordinator and the Fundraising and Communications Officer to your local TWAM Tool Ambassadors and Community Ambassadors.  We always need people to collect tools & refurbish them, but without the funds to run our vans and keep our Refurbishment Centres operating, nothing would happen.  Shipping to Africa costs a lot of money and again, we need funds to do it.  This is why the Community Champion is so important, and this is the difference you will make because nothing happens without the people willing to ask for the funds to run the charity.
