Scarborough YO EG, United Kingdom SWR Mind Full time £10,000 - £20,000 per year

About the Role

Are you passionate about making a difference in your local community?

Do you enjoy meeting people, organising events, or getting stuck in to help a good cause?

We're looking for enthusiastic Volunteer Community Fundraisers to help raise vital funds and awareness for Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Mind.

This is a great opportunity to be part of a friendly team, support mental health locally, and have fun along the way.

About SWR Mind

Scarborough, Whitby and Ryedale Mind is a local mental health charity supporting adults and young people aged 11+ who are struggling with their mental health.

All the money raised by our volunteers stays right here in our community — helping us provide life-changing services, from crisis support to wellbeing groups.

As a Volunteer Community Fundraiser, you'll play a key part in helping us continue this work and reach more people who need us.

What You'll Do

As a community fundraiser you'll:

  • Help plan, organise, and manage community fundraising events and collections.
  • Promote SWR Mind's events and campaigns locally.
  • Assist at bucket collections, fairs, and community events.
  • Attend community events to talk to individuals and groups about our work.
  • Build relationships with local businesses and organisations to encourage support.
  • Help secure permissions or licences for collections or events (where needed).
  • Share ideas for new and creative ways to raise funds

You can contribute as much time as you're able — every bit of support makes a difference.

What We're Looking For

You don't need fundraising experience — just enthusiasm, reliability, and a willingness to get involved.

We'd love to hear from people who:

  • Enjoy meeting and talking to people.
  • Are passionate about mental health and community causes.
  • Are organised, proactive, and good at coming up with ideas.
  • Can work well as part of a team.
  • Are confident representing SWR Mind at local events.

What You'll Gain

  • The chance to make a realdifference in your local community.
  • Experience in event planning, community engagement, and fundraising.
  • The opportunity to meet new people and be part of a supportive team.
  • Induction and ongoing support from SWR Mind staff.
  • Out-of-pocket expenses reimbursed (agreed in advance).
  • Valuable experience for your CV and references for future opportunities.

Time Commitment

Give as much or as little time as you can - whether that's coming into the office once a week to plan events or just helping out at a one off event. You can work from wherever you like whenever you like.

  • Induction training
