Restless Champion – Live Below the Line

We are recruiting volunteer Restless Champions across the UK, to get people taking action about extreme poverty and youth-led development. You will be required to take a leading role in our campaign, creating awareness about extreme poverty and recruiting fundraisers to take on the challenge.

The campaign, ‘Live Below the Line’, challenges the general public to live on £1 a day, for both food and drink, for 5 days. This year, the challenge will take place 7th – 11th May 2012. Live Below the Line allows thousands of people in the Global North to better understand the daily challenges faced by 1.4billion people around the world trapped in the cycle of extreme poverty. This is particularly meaningful for Restless Development as extreme poverty severely impacts the lives of young people in the countries where we work.

The role of Restless Champion will be to assist in coordinating the campaign for Restless Development and you will play a pivotal role in the campaign. We will support you in getting the most out of this experience by providing you with a Live Below the Line for Restless Development Kit, which includes a ‘How to Live Below the Line guidebook’, posters and leaflets. You will also receive: one to one training over the phone (depending on where you are based), all necessary support remotely or in our office in London, develop your communication, networking and relationship building skills, have the chance to support and experience the work of a top development agency and many more.
