We exist to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. Over the years we’ve developed a wide range of services with and without dogs to support people living with a vision impairment. Children and adults. Friends and family. Whoever you are, our expert staff, dedicated volunteers and life-changing dogs are here to help people with sight loss live actively, independently, and well.
We are currently looking for a Deputy Fundraising Coordinator, and you can help by:
• Building lasting partnerships with the fundraising groups and your local community, inspiring people to get involved and have fun.
• Bringing your own ideas and personality to the group, the more great minds that we get together the better plans we can make.
• Working with the Fundraising Group Coordinator to share the organisation between you; this is all about working to you and your group’s strengths.
• Leading the fundraising group when the Group Coordinator is away.
• Talking to local businesses and identifying places that can host and get involved in events, bringing these suggestions to the group and working together to make these plans a reality.
• Championing Guide Dogs and our work, sharing our stories in your local community.
• Inspiring more volunteers to join Guide Dogs and become fundraising volunteers.

What you'll get:
• In these important volunteer roles, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for vital services.
• You’ll meet lots of new people, including people whose lives you are impacting.
• You’ll also get to meet incredible dogs – from puppies and guide dogs in training to qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
• You’ll visit new places and enjoy fun days out with your team.
• You can share your existing skills and develop new skills as we’ll also provide all the training you need for the role.
• You’ll have a dedicated volunteer manager and a team of volunteers who will help support you throughout your role.
• Volunteering should never leave you out of pocket. We pay reasonable expenses related to your volunteering with us, including travel costs.
