Blog Writer Volunteer

As a Blog Writer Volunteer, you’ll help create written content that supports understanding of grief and bereavement.

Through blog posts, you’ll help share meaningful, accessible content that supports children, young people, families and the wider community. Your writing will help people reflect, learn, and feel more connected to the support available.

Why this role matters

Written content can play an important role in how people understand grief.

Your blogs can:

• Help people better understand bereavement

• Offer reassurance and reflection

• Encourage open and informed conversations

• Support awareness of the charity and its work

Over time, this helps create a more informed, compassionate and supportive community.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Writing blog posts based on agreed topics

• Structuring content clearly and in an engaging way

• Using language that is accessible, inclusive and sensitive

• Reflecting the charity’s approach to bereavement

• Working with staff to agree topics and focus

• Submitting drafts for review and making edits where needed

What we’re looking for

• A clear and thoughtful writing style

• Ability to communicate ideas simply and effectively

• Sensitivity when writing about grief and bereavement

• Willingness to follow guidance and agreed messaging

• Open to feedback

You don’t need professional writing experience. Support and guidance will be provided.

Time commitment

Flexible, based on agreed topics and deadlines.

What support you’ll receive

• Guidance on topics, tone and key messages

• Feedback and support on drafts

• A clear review and approval process

• Ongoing support from the team

You won’t be expected to publish content independently.

Boundaries of the role

This role is about sharing information, not providing advice.

You won’t be expected to:

• Provide counselling or professional guidance

• Share personal or identifiable information

• Publish content without review and approval

If you’re unsure about anything, support is always available.
