Fundraiser

We are a small, friendly local charity helping people living with cancer in Bonnybridge and Denny by providing free transport to hospital and free therapies in their own home.
As a fundraiser you can help to plan or run events which raise money to support what we do and also provide valuable publicity of the services we offer. It's a great chance to make a real difference to local people in your community. We have regular meetings and social events where you can meet other volunteers.

We are looking for fundraisers who would be part of a friendly team who meet at each others houses and organise about 3 events per year. Past events have included race nights, quiz nights and a coffee morning. Fundraisers would help plan the events and/or be there to help on the day.

Anyone is welcome to join us and give us whatever time they have. It is good fun and very rewarding. Your new ideas, energy and enthusiasm can make a real difference to cancer sufferers. Volunteering need not interfere with your other commitments, will not leave you out of pocket and will not affect any benefits you receive.
