Highland Perthshire Collecting Can Representative

• Childrens Hospices Across Scotland

• VO99895

CHAS Collecting Can Representatives are responsible for emptying, counting and banking the contents of our fundraising cans across a range of sites including pubs, shops and cafes. They also identify potential new sites and approach businesses to ask if they will “host” a can.

People donate to CHAS every day through our network of collecting cans across Scotland. It’s vital that we collect this money, count and bank it promptly so we can then spend the funds on developing our services for children and families. Every pound raised makes a difference to the children and families we support.

What activities will I be involved in?

• Maintaining our existing network of cans in Pitlochry and the surrounding area


• Identifying suitable locations for additional cans and approaching businesses


• Servicing collecting cans (this involves checking that cans are clearly labelled, numbered and sealed plus).


• Emptying cans, counting money and issuing receipts


• Banking money and keeping accurate records


• Maintaining a record of all can locations
