Collection Box Coordinator

If you love getting out and about but also want to support a cause in achieving it’s aim, then becoming a Collection Box Coordinator could be the right step for you. You will be involved in displaying our iconic collection boxes in your local community to help raise funds for Guide Dogs.

In this community-spirited volunteer role, your support will include getting involved in these activities:

Getting out and about to display our iconic collection boxes in your local community.
Emptying and banking funds in the collection boxes, meaning you can see how much money you have helped us raise.
Networking with organisations to share our cause and encourage them to display our collection boxes.
Being an ambassador for Guide Dogs!


What you'll get
The satisfaction in knowing you are supporting people with sight loss to live actively, independently, and well.
A flexible role where you can dedicate as little or as much time as you want.
An opportunity to build your experience in communication and interpersonal skills.
To have fun interacting with others, including people within Guide Dogs and members of the public.
A dedicated volunteer manager and fellow peers who will help support you throughout your role.
Volunteering for Guide Dogs should never leave you out of pocket. We’ll make sure we pay any expenses related to volunteering with us, including travel costs.
