London Behind the Scenes Opportunities
We need volunteers aged 16 to 25 with ambition to work on a special project entitled London Behind the Scenes, which involves creating "alternative London tours" in the run up to the Olympics. No skills are needed and newcomers to London and the UK are especially welcome. These are no ordinary tours, however. They will uncover the good, the great, the bad and the ugly, and what is not usually covered by the tourism industry. Designed from scratch by volunteers with carefully scrutinised facts and places, they will uncover and tell many a hidden story and promote global equality in the process. The tours will eventually feature on foot, online and on film.

WORLDbytes Opportunities
Volunteers are needed to join a team committed to developing an alternative monthly newsreel and fledgling News Channel. Covering work produced by the charity's volunteers, as well as key debates and issues, the newsreel will examine the hot issues, investigate alternative views and summarise opinions. The newsreels will not cover the usual stories or existing preoccupations, but will seek out local and global subjects which challenge prevailing assumptions, advance new knowledge and critique contemporary fads.- Actors

Global Appeals Opportunities
WORLDwrite's Global Appeals project is always looking for new and imaginative ways to raise for money for our projects, partners and peers in Ghana. WORLDwrite is not an "aid" outfit but does believe we should put our money where our mouth is whenever we can, and support our partners in the developing world when we are able to. We should never pretend this will change the world but it's the least we can do. The charity is raising funds for a town called Bisease in Ghana that needs all the resources it can get. This is a town which features in one of the charity's films that has been let down by celebrities. The following opportunities are all necessary to make our appeals successful.- Appeals Filmmaker
- Corporate Appeal Manager
- Friends Scheme Manager
- Fundraisers for Ghanaian Village
- Party Organiser
- Raffle Coordinator
Film Facility Opportunities
WORLDwrite's volunteer centre in east London features an award-winning film facility run by volunteers. The charity develops all sorts of programmes and activities, and uses film to get its message across that only the best will do for all. The following opportunities will ensure the smooth and efficient running of the film facility.
