Volunteer required to pull together the second edition of a small directory of UK organisations (about 30) supporting male victims of domestic abuse. Information about the first edition can be found at: http://www.mankind.org.uk/oakbook.html
The work is fully desk-based and the volunteer would expect to be undertaking this work at 'home' in their 'spare time'. It is not an all-consuming project and there is a clear briefing and questionnaires etc already in place.
The main requirements are for someone to be organised and willing to see the project through. The successful person will be making a real difference to men (and their children) who need support.
