Cumbria Overseas Aid Trust (COAT) raises funds locally to support communities in some of the poorest regions of the world. We give small grants to projects overseas which have a link to someone in Cumbria. COAT is a well known local charity that has been going strong now for over three decades. We are a small locally based charity that uses all money donated to the trust towards helping others.
Every two months COAT gives grants to projects in developing countries. This provides an opportunity for publicity and we would like to find a volunteer who can write short articles and submit them to the local press. Ideally the volunteer would attend our meetings held on the first Thursday of every alternate month from 7 to 9 pm to gain material for articles and then submit articles to the local papers around the county. This role will also give the student the opportunity to learn about development projects abroad and small charity administration.
