Ruth has been volunteering, and fundraising, with EdUKaid to help coordinate and implement our social media output, most notably twitter, since 2018.

Background

Ruth has worked in a number of education settings, healthcare providers and health research settings throughout her career, and is currently a Research Manager for the Global Health programme funded by the National Institute for Health research. 

When when my daughter came home from school about 2 years ago with a sponsored swim form for a local charity called EdUKaid, a quick google search to see what they did in order to decide my sponsorship level to give, led to exploring the website further, meeting the 1 UK employee, and signing myself up to support their social media publicity, and through this promote their work, and help to engage with corporate supporters and fundraiser groups

Other volunteering

Ruth also volunteers in a number of other roles including as a Scout assistant leader, and for her local Parish Church Council. Read Ruth's  blog about some of the reasons why she enjoys volunteering so much.
