Trust Fundraising Support Volunteer

Save to Favorites

Each year The Brain Tumour Charity needs to raise funds from a number of different sources, including trusts and foundations. In 2022/23 our target is £725,000 from trusts and foundations which will contribute to the overall Fundraising target of £11m. These funds will help ensure we can continue to support research, raise awareness and provide support to people affected by a brain tumour.

How can you help?

We’re looking for support with the following areas:

• Helping to research trusts who we could submit applications to
• Helping to write and send applications to trusts
• Helping to clean up our Salesforce database and ensure information is used effectively and efficiently

We are looking for:

• Research skills, including using the internet
• Knowledge of using a database (Salesforce experience desirable)
• Attention to detail and good writing skills
• Knowledge and understanding of fundraising, in particular trust fundraising

Time commitment
As much time as you would like, but we’re ideally looking for a regular commitment of at least four hours per week, across one morning or afternoon, ideally within the hours of 9am-5:30pm, Monday-Thursday. This is a remote role and can be done from home. There is also the opportunity to volunteer from The Charity’s head office, which is based in Fleet, Hampshire - for those who live locally.

We particularly encourage applications from those who are significantly underrepresented in our sector, including individuals from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities.

Training and support

• You will receive a full induction to The Brain Tumour Charity and your role here as well as in-house training on the use of our CRM database
• You will receive regular support and supervision
• You will be given any equipment necessary to carry out your role

What can I gain from volunteering with you?

• Utilising your existing skills as well as developing and learning new ones to take forward into the future, including research skills
• The opportunity to join a friendly, supportive and passionate team and develop an understanding of how a busy charity fundraising team operates
• Training for, and experience of using, a CRM database

Practical considerations

You will receive a full induction to The Brain Tumour Charity and any specific training for the role, as well as ongoing direction from a team member within the Trust and Foundations Team.

We carry out reference checks for all individuals who will be volunteering with us on a regular basis. Volunteers will also be required to complete some internal data protection and disclosure documentation before commencing the role. Volunteers must be over 18.
