Fundraiser

In this flexible role, you can get involved as much or as little as works for you.

You can help by:
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!

What you'll get
In this team role, you'll get the satisfaction of knowing you're supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for our vital services.
This is a flexible volunteer role where you can give as little or as much time as you want. You can fit your volunteering around any other responsibilities or commitments that you have.
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.
You’ll get to meet incredible dogs – from puppies and guide dogs in training to qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
You’ll have a dedicated volunteer manager and a team of volunteers who all support each other.
Volunteering should never leave you out of pocket. We pay any expenses related to your volunteering with us, including travel costs.
