About the organisation:

We’re a community-first print initiative dedicated to supporting local families through real savings — while boosting small businesses that form the backbone of the borough. By connecting households with value-driven local offers, we help residents navigate rising costs, and give smaller shops the visibility they deserve

Full Details:

The Local Deal Fox is a new print publication delivered monthly to 15,000+ homes, dedicated to helping residents save money and helping local businesses grow.

We’re looking for friendly, organised volunteers who can assist with sales outreach (via phone or email), basic admin, and campaign follow-up. You’ll help us contact local business owners, prepare advertising materials, update internal tracking sheets, and provide general support as we expand.

This is an excellent opportunity to develop transferable skills in communications, local business development, and media. All training and guidance will be provided. You’ll be contributing to a genuinely impactful, community-focused initiative.

We welcome anyone who’s passionate about local communities, enjoys speaking with people, or wants to gain experience in publishing, marketing, or admin

When and Where:

This is a flexible role, you can volunteer from home, and choose hours that suit you. Tasks will be shared via email or WhatsApp, with light weekly check-ins. If you’re based in East London, there may also be the option to support leaflet drops or outreach in person (optional).
