Samaritans of Basildon and Thurrock are looking for a volunteer to join our team and take the lead in various fundraising activities.

The role

We are looking for a new volunteer to join us and take the lead with fundraising.  With the support of the Branch Leadership Team and our volunteers, they will seek new sponsorships and donations for our ongoing operational costs.  They will develop and maintain existing income streams, and they will seek grants and bursaries for new capital projects.

The expectation

 

 

The successful candidate will work mainly from home, with occasional visits to our branch to meet people.  They may occasionally take part in fundraising and outreach events, but this is not a requirement.  Their monthly commitment will probably be around 16 hours a month, mostly at times convenient for the candidate.  They will be invited to branch leadership meetings that happen every two months (mostly held on Zoom) and any social events we hold.

This volunteering opportunity can be carried out either at the address below or from home.

Previous experience in fundraising would be hugely advantageous but not essential.  Support will be provided by existing volunteers.  The successful candidate will be able to work on their own initiative using their communication skills and be competent in the use of email, spreadsheets, and Zoom teleconferencing.
