Media Trust is looking for confident people with expertise in new media, with ten charities needing advice on PR and new media.
There's a 'Speedmatching' evening 6pm to 8pm tomorrow at Disney Channel UK, Hammersmith, London, to bring charities and media professionals together. Similar to speed dating, each charity and professional have five minutes with each other to see if the media folk can help them at all.
Requests range from help with writing a press release, website content to advice on blogs.
Contact joannai@mediatrust.org if you can help.
