Marketing and comms roles Would you like the opportunity to help shape our marketing and communications? We want to make sure that our marketing and communications reflect our members' voice, and you can help! We will update this page as new roles come up. Help us improve the new DEBRA website Review member information Social media champion EB Connect Help us improve the new DEBRA website The team have been working on creating a brand new DEBRA website and updating all the information we provide to support, guide and signpost the EB community. The new site will be live and up and running to use this autumn and will feature a new members only area! Before the website goes live, we are looking for members to test out the new site’s functionality, navigation, accessibility and to hear your thoughts if any of those areas need improving. The site is still a work in progress, so what you will see is not complete just yet, but you will be able to see some of the areas that are ready to give you an idea on what the finished product will look like. The testing will be split into two different rounds of feedback, there will be a questionnaire with a link to the new website and a selection of scavenger hunt style tasks, to navigate you to different areas of the website for you to test out. It will also include all the information you will need to complete the tasks, to answer the questionnaire. Round 1 - Functionality and features: This will take place at the beginning of September and will focus on some of the below: Was the website easy to navigate around Did you have any accessibility issues Was it easy to sign up to an event Could you find your nearest DEBRA shop Round 2 – Website content: This will take place towards the end of September and will focus on: Was it easy to find what you are looking for Is the information and resources that DEBRA provide relevant, accurate, and easy to understand We anticipate each round will take between 30 - 60 minutes to review. If you would like to be one of the first to see the new design and test it out, sign up here and we will email you the information. Sign up Review member information We’re improving and expanding all of our information, that we use to support members at different stages of life. We have held several focus groups with our members to help create this information on topics such as employment, benefits, education and many others. Now we are looking for a team of reviewers to take a look at what we've already written, from the input of our members. This will be sent via email, and we anticipate that each piece of information to review should take no longer than 20 minutes. You’ll be able to choose how many pieces of information you want to review, and even just one helps! Sign up here and we can send you the information by email. So far, our members have played an important role in helping us with updating the information that will appear on our new website by taking part in our pathways project. We have held 11 different focus groups on a series of key life stages, and had the insight of 58 member appearances to help shape and update the information we provide to the EB community.
