Fundraiser [Falkirk]

Guide Dogs Scotland is one of the UK’s leading sight loss charities. Our expert staff, volunteers and life-changing guide dogs help people with sight loss live the life they choose.
Our fundraising groups urgently need more volunteer fundraisers who can support their local events and help raise money for an important cause. If you enjoy chatting to people, visiting new places and inspiring people to donate to a life-changing cause, this volunteering role for you.

This role involves:
-Getting involved and supporting local events run by your team, which could include anything from quiz nights to coffee mornings, to collections or sponsored walks
-Using your communication skills to chat and tell people about Guide Dogs and why we need their support
-Helping spread the word about your team’s events on social media and to your local networks
-Using your imagination and creativity to suggest new fundraising ideas that could raise money for Guide Dogs. All suggestions are welcome!

This volunteering role is a great opportunity to meet new people and build your communication and interpersonal skills. You’ll have lots of fun socialising and attending a wide range of different events, and you'll get to meet lots of great dogs at events too! There are so many rewarding benefits to this role and if you'd like to know more, then we would love to hear from you.
