Help Runspire Nottingham improve its online presence by supporting a website transfer to WordPress!

ROLE DESCRIPTION:
As a WordPress Website Support Volunteer at Runspire Nottingham, you will play a crucial role in helping us improve our digital presence by transferring our existing website onto the WordPress platform. This important project will enable us to better connect with our community, share our mission, and grow our impact in promoting health and wellbeing across Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire.
Your main tasks will include transferring content and site structure to WordPress, configuring themes and plugins, troubleshooting technical issues, and ensuring the new website is accessible, mobile-friendly, and easy to navigate. You’ll also collaborate closely with Paul Hopkins, our CEO and founder, working both remotely and in person to understand content needs and future updates.
This is a flexible role, perfect for someone with WordPress experience who wants to make a real difference by supporting a community-focused charity. Your work will help us reach more people and build a stronger online platform for our growing charity.
You’ll mainly work remotely but will be invited to meet in person occasionally at our Nottingham base to collaborate directly with the team and Paul. Whether you’re an experienced WordPress user or looking to sharpen your skills while contributing to a great cause, your involvement will be highly valued.
