Could you be a CCEC trustee?

This is a very different sort of volunteering opportunity than the ones we normally post about. We currently have a very small team behind the scenes at CCEC, but as we’re growing, we need more people to help out!

⚡️⚡️

What does being a trustee involve?
We meet every month or two to discuss our work and agree next steps (but it really doesn’t matter if you can’t attend all of these!).

Beyond that, there are so many different things you can try your hand at!
💷Finances
📧Social Media
✍️Funding bids
👭Pairing up with volunteers
…and so much more!

⚡️⚡️

Is it for me?
Yes! Whatever your experiences, and whatever you can bring to the table, we’re here for it! The main thing is that you’re keen to get involved.

⚡️⚡️

Want to find out more or get involved?
Just email Andy and Josh on [email protected] 😃

This week is Volunteers’ Week, a chance to recognise all of the amazing people that make CCEC possible. Other than our two fabulous employees, all of our team are volunteers, and go above and beyond to support people in Coventry.

Thank you to all of our volunteers, and everyone volunteering at any charity or community group across the city.

Being a volunteer with CCEC can provide fantastic opportunities, and it’s so lovely Eman’s fantastic work with us has helped her secure a job! We’re very proud.

GOOD NEWS! Our dear Eman, who has been with CCEC since the very beginning, has just secured a job thanks to the experience and references she gained! 🎉

If you’re interested in volunteering with the Coventry Community Energy Champions project and would like to gain new skills, come to the Watch Centre and ask for Alex or Siham. We would love to have a chat with you!

Yesterday, Coventry Energy Champions took part in the National Energy Action conference – West Midlands Fuel Poverty Forum.
Andy and Alex were speakers at the event, sharing insights about our project and our plans for the future. It was a very valuable experience and a great opportunity to showcase our work, exchange knowledge, and connect with other organisations committed to tackling fuel poverty across the West Midlands.

See you again next year!
