Charity Ambassador Volunteer

How can you help?
We are recruiting a team of Charity Ambassadors to help develop engagement across each Region, to maximise opportunities to raise funds and increase support from the Community. You will be actively involved with The Charity on the ground and play a key role working alongside the Regional Community Fundraisers, as and when required:
 Identifying various opportunities in your local area to raise awareness of The Charity & our wide range of Fundraising Campaigns. This could anything from contacting your local supermarket’s ‘Community Champion’ and organising an information stand and bucket collection or supporting a Supporter Group meet up in your area.
 Representing The Charity in your area, by undertaking presentations & cheque collections at schools, local companies & community groups
 Helping us to recruit new fundraisers and supporting those who are already signed up for a campaign, in your area. For example, attending a local Twilight Walk or promoting The Big Bake to local companies.

What impact will you have?
By amplifying The Charity's voice in your local area, you'll help increase the impact of fundraising campaigns & help grow funds and support us in accelerating a cure for everyone affected by a brain tumour diagnosis.

We’re looking for people who are:
 Passionate about the Charity and our vision
 Flexible and willing to get involved as and when opportunities arise
 Confident and comfortable in undertaking presentations to a wide range of audiences
 Skilled at spotting new opportunities to raise awareness and funds
 Friendly, approachable and able to communicate at all levels
 A team player, who is also able to work on their own initiative
