Community Fundraising Support Volunteer (Robin House, Balloch)

• Childrens Hospices Across Scotland

• VO102290

This is a varied and interesting role which provides much needed support to our team of very busy Community Fundraisers. You will be helping to generate as much money and awareness as possible in your local area so that CHAS can deliver vital services to children with a life-shortening condition across Scotland and to their families, too.

You will be supporting the CHAS Fundraising Team to help CHAS to raise as much money as possible for children with a life-shortening condition. Community Fundraising Support volunteers are often the first point of contact for the public, so you will be a real ambassador in your local community and can help to make a big difference to first impressions and awareness of CHAS.

What you will be doing

• Leading local events like bucket shakes, community stalls and bag packs


• Making approaches to secure these opportunities, leading other volunteers on the day and counting cash raised to get it ready for banking


• Getting fundraising materials, like banners and buckets, ready for local events


• Carrying out local research to support specific projects agreed with the CHAS team


• Approaching local groups to arrange talks by a CHAS speaker


• Undertaking any training that will help you with your role.

What's in it for you

• Using your existing skills and possibly learning new skills to add to your cv


• Getting more involved and making a real difference to the families of children with a life-shortening condition.


• Meeting new people and having fun
