The first time I visited Fulham Palace I wondered how this amazing historical jewel was run and who was behind. When I got home I visited the website and I was pleasantly surprised by the great work of the volunteers. As I live close, I decided to apply for Volunteer Communication Assistant position. I was keen to find out how I could contribute to a local organisation whilst gaining some experience for my career. And here I am, introducing myself on the blog.
I am a graduate in Audiovisual Communication and I have years of experience as a production assistant organising film and commercial productions, events and film festivals. I came from Spain two and a half years ago to find new horizons and develop myself as a professional and as a person. And I think volunteering at Fulham Palace can cover both areas.
I am very excited about my new role! I am starting to think of new ideas to improve the communication between volunteers and we would love to hear yours, too. The volunteer website is a great way to get contact with other volunteers and hear their voices. We can use it to create a community and organise things together, especially in London where is so hard to make friends.
I would like to encourage you, my fellow volunteers to write about something you like in your volunteering role, to share your experience or even to publish a little research about something that interests you in the History of Fulham Palace.
This blog is for us and is made by us, we’ve got the power!
