Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

My job involved the use of an application called Canva, where i used it to create different templates of card designs to help raise money for a defibrillator.
I would also look at fundraising templates and research ideas for fundraising money for schoolchildren, such as having schools carry out a non-school-uniform day, and wearing green instead to raise awareness for the importance of Rainforests around the world.
