Join Our On-Call Volunteer Crew
Ref: #00686
Are you keen to lend a hand but can’t commit to a regular volunteer role? We’re putting together a list of on-call volunteers who we can reach out to when events pop up throughout the year. These opportunities are usually on weekends or evenings, with short shifts of around one to two hours. You might help at community fundraisers, awareness events, or local activities that support the work we do and bring people together. Being part of our on-call team is completely flexible — we’ll get in touch when opportunities come up, and you can choose to help when it suits you. This is a great option for people who want to stay involved in their community without a regular schedule, for students looking to complete volunteer hours, or for anyone who enjoys meeting people and supporting a good cause.
Fundraising Coordinator
Ref: #00685
Our branch has grown and we need a Fundraising Coordinator who will plan and carry out fundraising events and campaigns. This will involve engaging with local businesses and potential sponsors to secure financial or in-kind support as well as developing and promoting fundraising activities within the community and through social media. You will also work with the Grants Lead (in the National Office) to identify local grants and funding opportunities. We are fortunate to already have some wonderful donors and sponsors, so part of your role will be maintaining those relationships and ensuring appropriate acknowledgments and follow-ups. You will be backed up by a small, collaborative leadership team who will support you in your role.
