Media Trust
The Media Trust's Media Matching scheme aims to bring media and communications professionals together as volunteers with charities and voluntary organisations looking for help with specific media and communications needs. For example, a charity might need some assistance in writing a communications strategy, advice on producing a press release, designing an annual report (or hundreds of other things!), and we try and find them someone who could help them with this for free. Could be a one off or longer term activity - it's very flexible. Whether you're a charity looking for help, or a professional with these kinds of skills looking to volunteer, find out more here: www.mediatrust.org/media-matching
