Help increase engagement through social media platforms including Facebook, Instagram and Twitter on match days.

Help in the production and delivery of a LSFC Match Preview E-Zine.

Produce content for the local newspaper, The Richmond and Twickenham Times (generally a player interview) which will see your byline being printed in the paper.
