Gift Aid is a scheme run by HMRC. For every \u00a31 you donate we\u2019re able to claim back 25p from the government. Whether donating online or via post\/email, please Gift Aid your donation so that we can make your money go further!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By checking the Gift Aid box, you are confirming you are a UK tax payer and understand that if you pay less income tax than the value of your Gift Aid it is your responsibility to pay the difference.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a surprising number of ways to support our work. If you\u2019d like to go it alone or work together on something (we hope) we\u2019ve got the opportunity for you! Your contribution could be changing lives for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Internship – flexible in time, duration and duties. Our interns shape their own workload contributing to some of the most vital parts of our operations. Any age, level or experience is welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also offer internships. One of our volunteers, Izzy, chose to do an internship (she enjoyed her volunteering experience that much) \u2013 tailored to meet the three weeks she had available. Click the button to find out what she got up to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volunteer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In order for this expansion to be successful, it is vital that ZET effectively publicizes and promotes its work through social media and implements an ongoing sustainable fundraising strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for highly motivated volunteers with a passion to empower children and young people trapped in poverty living in Zimbabwe. We are a local Yorkshire based charity with an office in central Leeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Can you volunteer a minimum of 1 day per week for a month to help grow ZET\u2019s work with its partners in Zimbabwe?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zimbabwe Educational Trust greatly benefits from the time, effort and dedication of its volunteers. Whatever your interest or area of specialty (if you have one) there will be a role for you within our organisation. Here are some of the areas that our volunteers currently work in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Social Media<\/strong> (Upkeep of platforms such as Twitter and Facebook; providing up-to-date content and news, using social media platforms to promote our organisation and expand our audience, and using platforms to gain donations, recruit volunteers and more)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Fundraising<\/strong> (Conducting research into various funding bodies and assessing how suitable they are for a funding application from ZET; Contributing to the development of funding proposals; Sending off funding proposals; Development and upkeep of current and new fundraising platforms, such as Global-Giving and Givey, to raise funds and awareness for ZET\u2019s activities; Putting on events, street fundraising, corporate partnerships and more)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Communications and Marketing<\/strong> (including website content)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Monitoring and Evaluation<\/strong> (Assisting in defining the frameworks through which we judge our projects; Analysing data (qualitative and quantitative) to show project effectiveness)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Event Planning and Management<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Accounting and Finance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7  Volunteer Recruitment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And more!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Volunteer with ZET?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At ZET, we offer a great deal of flexibility to our volunteers. You don\u2019t have to stick to just one role; some overlap, and you are free to change role if you fancy doing something different. Furthermore, if your area of specialty\/interest is not covered in these more specific roles, there is the scope to discuss with the Operations Manager a role that is more suitable to you. We want to make sure that you enjoy your experience and get something out of it, so don\u2019t hesitate to get in touch and find out how else you can get involved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are a small charity, and this makes our volunteers\u2019 experience unique; their work has a big impact and volunteers are given genuine responsibilities. For this reason, volunteering at ZET is a great way to enhance your CV and boost your career prospects (if you happen to be at that stage in your career); such hands-on experience will help you develop a range of skills in your area of interest. Not only this, but volunteers work closely with ZET\u2019s Operations Manager, gaining a broad and deep insight into the work of an international development, non-profit organisation. This makes volunteering for ZET particularly suitable for those with an interest in International Development\/International Affairs and a career in the third sector, or someone who wants to gain first-hand experience in the operations of a non-profit organisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention that whilst benefitting from this, you will simultaneously be working for a great cause (see our website for more on the vital work we do and the impact we make)! Where and when? Volunteer meetings take place every second Wednesday from 3pm-5pm in the local Leeds area. If this is not convenient for you, working from home is also possible. Email: contact@zimbabweeducationaltrust.org.uk<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lives of vulnerable people in Zimbabwe have been made harder by COVID-19, the Ukrainian war, Zimbabwe’s unstable economy and other intersecting domestic and global factors. We need your support. Our ability to help is under severe threat<\/p>\n\n\n\n
