Community Fundraising Group Coordinator

If you’re interested in volunteering with people and dogs, and enjoy organising events, this could be the role for you. 

Guide Dogs are looking for a volunteer who can inspire and motivate a team of volunteers in your local community.

In this leadership role you can use your skills to make a huge difference to people’s lives, and in return, you’ll gain experiences, memories and friendships that last a lifetime.

You can make the Fundraising Group Coordinator role your own - taking on as much, or as little that works for you, and have the full support of the team and your Guide Dogs volunteer manager.

What you’ll get:

• In these important volunteer roles, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for vital services.
• You’ll meet lots of new people, including people whose lives you are impacting.
• You’ll also get to meet incredible dogs – from puppies and guide dogs in training to qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
• You’ll visit new places and enjoy fun days out with your team.
• You can share your existing skills and develop new skills as we’ll also provide all the training you need for the role.
• You’ll have a dedicated volunteer manager and a team of volunteers who will help support you throughout your role.
• Volunteering should never leave you out of pocket. We pay reasonable expenses related to your volunteering with us, including travel costs.

You’ll be a fundraising dream team, working together to achieve your group’s goals and improve the lives of people with sight loss. Together, you’ll organise a range of events and collections that raise vital awareness and funds for our life-changing services for people with sight loss.

What skills do I need?

You can help by:

• Using your fantastic people skills to bring the team together and offer support and encouragement to other volunteers.
• Bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to help the team develop new ideas and activities that will raise funds for Guide Dogs.
• Putting your excellent organisation skills to good use by managing the team’s calendar and making sure the events are supported.
• Leading the fundraising group meetings.
• Using your local networks and connections to work with businesses, shops, schools, libraries and groups in your area to host events.
• Be an ambassador for Guide Dogs by sharing stories and information about the impact of our services.
• Inspire more volunteers to join Guide Dogs and become fundraising volunteers.
