Cheltenham, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Full time

**Community Champion Volunteer Opportunity Summary
Heart and circulatory disease touch us all. Affecting young and old alike, it is the UK’s biggest killer which 7.6 million people in the UK live with. The BHF is committed to funding half a billion pounds of new research over the next five years, which will be central to discovering vital treatments for such conditions.

While many people have heard about the BHF, they’re not always aware of the full extent of our work. Join us as a BHF Community Champion Volunteer to help educate more people about the importance of our work and create amazing fundraising opportunities in your local area. You will be joining an empowered network of dedicated fundraisers who help the BHF to save and improve lives. Quite simple, without volunteers like you, the BHF could not continue its pioneering work.

We are looking for volunteers who can bring their leadership skills and passion for the BHF to life locally. This role can work flexibly to suit your availability and other commitments. We may ask you to:

- Support your local Fundraising Manager and their team to represent the BHF in your community and help promote our work and increase fundraising opportunities
- Actively engage and build relationships with local groups and associations.
- Give talks and short presentations about the BHF and inspire others to support our life saving work.
- Accept fundraising donations on behalf of the BHF from community groups and organisations, attending cheque collections and saying a few words of thanks.
- Act as a lead volunteer at local BHF events like collections and Cheer Points, and manage and support our Action team volunteers on the day.
- Support and facilitate a RevivR session

By volunteering with the BHF, you will have the opportunity to use your skills to support the BHF and have fun. You will be making a significant difference to the lives of heart patients today and future generations by raising vital, lifesaving funds to power our ground-breaking research.

**This role is for Cheltenham and the surrounding areas**:
**Skills and attributes**:
The Volunteer team are open to hearing about the skills and attributes you will bring or would like to develop with BHF. Relevant skills and attributes for this role include:

- Good communication and presentation skills.
- Ability to actively seek opportunities for talks and build relationships in the local community.
- Self-motivation and the ability to motivate others.
- Flexibility to offer support when opportunities are available. A commitment to the BHF’s values.

The time commitment needed for this role will vary depending on the time of year and number of groups and associations actively supporting the BHF within your local area.

**Next Steps**
- Your local Fundraising Manager will then be in touch to arrange an informal interview to chat about this volunteering role, giving you a chance to ask any questions you may have and giving us the opportunity to learn more about you and the time you have to give.

**Training and Support
All our volunteers play a crucial role in our mission to outsmart heart disease and we’ll support you every step of the way. As a Community Champion Volunteer, you’ll receive:

- A comprehensive induction to the BHF and training for the role.
- Resources to support you in your role e.g. presentations.
- Support from your local Fundraising Manager and the BHF’s Fundraising Support Team. The opportunity to gain and develop skills and to meet other volunteers.
