“I’m a freelance associate for Birmingham Community Matters and I feel honoured to spend part of my working week with such lovely people. BCM is doing brilliant things to make sure our city’s small community groups have the confidence, resources and connections they need to thrive, and it feels good to contribute in my small way to that mission” – Marie Kreft.
We are ready to expand our pool of self-employed associates to help us to deliver our services more widely, both online and face to face.
We are specifically looking for independent freelance associates with experience of:

or
* Grant and trust fundraising / assessment.
We are looking for associates who have availability from September/October 2024 and who are able to travel across Birmingham.
We would expect you to be already set up in self-employment.
We are able to pay a maximum daily rate of £275 per day and will cover reasonable travel expenses from your home to the place of delivery. You should also have your own computer and a reliable internet connection.
About BCM
Birmingham Community Matters (BCM) is a small charity, founded in 2016 to give people face-to-face support with getting started and running their community groups and projects across Birmingham.
We want to help the volunteers and staff who run small voluntary and community groups to have the skills, confidence and connections they need to run effective organisations that address the needs and aspirations of their communities.
We do this by running peer-support sessions, learning in small groups, holding practical workshops, and developing and sharing useful resources and templates.
