The Marketing Committee needs your help!

The Marketing Committee is looking for volunteers to help with some specific projects.

Firstly, for our important and exciting project of updating the website we need :

1. Someone who has the time and expertise to transfer all the data from the current website to the new Wordpress platform (estimated to be approximately 8 - 10 hours work)
2. A copy editor to ensure consistency of tone of voice throughout.
3. A visual designer or design team who can work on refreshing and updating the look and feel of the website and helping us create a beautiful engaging website that effectively represents the school and our aspirations for the future.

Secondly, we are looking for someone who can take on the role of organizing the production of our printed material (postcards, leaflets etc). This would involve sourcing print partners (good quality, cost effective, reliable) and coordinating the production process. If anyone has any print resource they could recommend that would also be helpful.

Thirdly, we need help with distributing our printed marketing material. We would like to ask the whole community to consider where they might be able to distribute postcards and fliers (doctors offices, kids clubs, local stores, like-minded notice boards etc) to reach a wider audience. We'll remind everyone again when we have some material to distribute.

And finally, we would love some new members on the committee. This is an important and busy time for the school and there will be much for the Marketing Committee to be doing over the coming year, so we would love some more hands.

Please contact 3-day nursery parent Jennie on Jennie@soulsomefood.com if you can help in any way.

Thank you all for your support.
