Marketing and Communications Trustee

Organisation: Love Rowing
Salary: 0
Location: Nationwide/ Remote
Contract type: Volunteer
Closing date: 15 November 2026
Job Description: Love Rowing is the Charitable Foundation of British Rowing and exists to transform lives across the UK through the sport. We raise funds for
programmes that engage and support young people experiencing poverty, disabled people and those from diverse communities.
To date, we have supported more than 100 projects and reached over 15,000 beneficiaries.

In 2025, we received significant new funding from The Westminster Foundation for our Rowing to Success project in Chester, supporting disadvantaged children, young people and adults. This marks an exciting new chapter as we look to grow our reach and impact over the next five years.

This is a new position on the Board, created as Love Rowing looks to
strengthen its marketing, communications and brand as we enter the next phase of our development.
Over the past two years, we have built a growing social media presence, established a supporter email list and developed the foundations of a consistent brand voice. We now want to build on this, with stronger content and a sharper social media approach, to grow our audiences and increase support.

We are looking for a senior marketing and communications professional with strength in brand development and a track record in content creation, digital story telling and social media. A key early priority will be to review our existing approach, identify opportunities to strengthen it and help shape a focused strategy for the years ahead.

The role is primarily strategic. The Marketing and Communications Trustee will advise and challenge the Foundation Director and Board, provide oversight of our communications and campaigns, and help ensure our marketing activity supports Love Rowing's wider objectives. As a small charity, we would also value practical involvement at significant moments, such as major campaigns, fundraising opportunities or important launches.

The Marketing and Communications Trustee will:
▪ Review and shape our marketing, communications and brand strategy, strengthening Love Rowing's profile, positioning and support for its objectives.
▪ Provide expertise in content creation and social media, using digital
storytelling to communicate our impact in compelling and accessible ways.
▪ Oversee our communications channels (Facebook, X, Instagram, LinkedIn and our newsletter), ensuring they work together and advising on the content and campaigns that build awareness and grow our audiences.
▪ Help turn engagement into support, making it easy for people to get
involved, donate and stay connected, with communications tailored to
different audiences.
▪ Use insight and performance data to assess what is working, helping the Foundation Director and Board focus effort where it can have greatest impact.
▪ Help build Love Rowing's external profile, including through media, PR, influencers, sporting networks and partnerships.
