Ruth Brown
Community & Relationships Lead
Responsibilities:
My role is to fundraise by organising events, to support our work, particularly with Volunteer Mentors.
I also build relationships within the local community and connect with businesses and supporters. Results of these connections benefit Mentoring Plus by raising awareness, bringing in financial support and Volunteer Mentors.
Previous experience: I have lived in Bath all my life, working and volunteering in various roles including projects advisor, public relations and events, and more recently working as support staff at a secondary school which gave me an insight into the challenges that young people face today. Whilst my children were growing up I volunteered on the pre-school and school committees, organising events and fundraising.
Likes Mentoring Plus because: I work with a great team of people who are all committed to supporting young people in the local area.
Good at: Organising and communication
Not so good at: IT
