Gift Aid Volunteer
6 months ago
Midlands Air Ambulance Charity (MAAC) operates and funds three air ambulances covering **six** Midlands counties including **Gloucestershire**, **Herefordshire**, **Shropshire**, **Staffordshire**, **Worcestershire** and the **West Midlands**.
Each year it costs **£13-14 million** to maintain the three aircraft and the provision of a lifesaving service. Each air ambulance mission costs an average of £2,950. Each critical care car mission costs £288 on average. The charity does not receive funding from the Government or National Lottery for its daily missions so relies entirely on the support and generosity of local people and businesses.
Since 1991, we have responded to more than **74,500 missions**, making us one of the busiest air ambulance services in the UK
Volunteering with us is easy, flexible, and inclusive. If you can spare a few hours a week, or a couple of hours occasionally, we’d love you to join our volunteer team.
Could you help us raise life-saving funds through the Gift Aid scheme? We’re looking for someone to volunteer within our shop to help improve Gift Aid sign ups, inform customers about Gift Aid and help other retail volunteers follow the correct processes, set out by the HMRC. This is essentially a volunteer fundraising and administration role within our shop, so you will have the support of the shop team to help you. Gift Aid is very important to all charities, as it allows them to reclaim the tax on donations from UK taxpayers. Every time we sell a gift-aided item, we can claim 25% more from the government - at no extra cost to the donor or customer. We want to improve Gift Aid sign ups and sales, as they are a great way to raise more money to fund life saving research.
Just so you know, we are unable to accept volunteers aged under 16 or with unspent criminal convictions. Please note this is an unpaid voluntary position in a friendly charity shop.
**Typical tasks include**:
- Promoting Gift Aid on the shop floor and helping donors sign up to Gift Aid
- Inputting Gift Aid data into our online systems and maintaining our filing records
- Sorting, pricing and displaying Gift Aided donations
- Helping train volunteers on Gift Aid procedures
Actively looking for opportunities to generate new Gift Aid donations for our shop
**Volunteering with Midlands Air Ambulance Charity comes with plenty of benefits too**
- Visiting one of our Airbases and meeting the crew
- CPR/Defib and Bleed Control training
- Access to training and development
- Reasonable travel expenses reimbursed
- Refreshments available
- Volunteer certificates, references and long service awards provided
**Job Types**: Full-time, Part-time, Volunteer
