An opportunity for an ambitious, energetic and personable public event manager to contribute to this innovative and high profile national project, by developing a pan -Wales fundraising event scheduled for October 19th 2012, our “Go Green Day”.
Size of Wales is a unique national scheme to sustain an area of tropical forest the size of Wales as part of our national response to climate change. An area the size of Wales is frequently used to measure the rate of forest destruction. Through Size of Wales we aim to turn that negative use of the country’s size on its head, by encouraging the people of Wales to take positive action and help protect an area of tropical forest equivalent to the size of our nation. Size ofWales was launched in 2010, it is funded through The Waterloo Foundation and has its office in Llandaff where the post will be based. The intern will report to the Partnership Manager who will oversee the event planning and provide guidance. The role will suit a recent graduate or MSc.
