There are a variety of volunteer roles including Fundraising Volunteers, Information Hub Volunteers (who support the Charity Hubs around the hospitals), and event volunteers. There are some ambitious plans and targets for the charity over the next five years - and volunteers play a huge part in that vision.

Successfully delivering an exciting new fundraising strategy is only possible with a strong team of engaged volunteers - and that is only possible if there are the right volunteer fundraiser in the team.

If successful, you will be working closely with colleagues to identify opportunities for volunteering across events, assisting fundraisers out in the community, setting up fundraising committees, and sourcing income generation opportunities at local community events.
