About The Foundation
Inspired by Joss Rowley Stark; a 15 year old boy who sadly died from cancer, England rugby legend, Lewis Moody, and his wife Annie, set up The Lewis Moody Foundation in May 2014. Since then, The Foundation has generated nearly £2m for The Brain Tumour Charity.

The Foundation is administered by The Brain Tumour Charity with 100% of funds raised going towards The Charity’s strategy to double survival and half the harm.

The Foundation team at The Charity support Lewis and Annie as well as many others in raising funds through various activities. This includes stewarding those taking on bespoke Foundation challenges each year.

How can you help?

We’re looking for a volunteer to help us look forward and build on The Foundation’s many successful events, by:

 Researching new, exciting fundraising opportunities including corporate partnerships and new events;
 Contacting third party suppliers to support existing and new events;
 Assisting the team to steward event participants;
 Sourcing branded materials such as medals and t-shirt when needed; and
 Packing materials for upcoming events.

What impact will you have?

The Foundation prides itself on putting on once-in-a-lifetime fundraising experiences, of which Lewis is at the heart.

You would be enabling The Foundation team to continue to find and offer new and exciting fundraising opportunities and events, as well as ensuring they have the maximum impact on raising vital funds to double survival and half the harm that brain tumours have.

We’re looking for...

• Experience of working with databases (Salesforce desirable).
• Experience in events organisation and delivery (desirable).
• Confident in using Microsoft word, Excel and Outlook.
• Comfortable building relationships both in person and virtually.
• Highly organised and good communication skills

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

What can you gain from volunteering?

• You’ll have the opportunity to utilise your existing skills, while developing and learning new ones to take forward into the future.
• You’ll join a friendly, passionate team and develop an understanding of how this team at The Charity and Foundation operates.

Time commitment
We’re looking for someone to support the team on certain projects and events throughout the year, where necessary. We anticipate this role will require a commitment of approximately 4 hours per week, but this can be done flexibly.

The majority of activities for this role can take place within or outside of The Charity’s core working hours - we can be flexible. To ensure you have sufficient support, some crossover with the working hours of the Events Team would be beneficial.

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 Events 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 documentation before commencing the role. Volunteers must be over 18

Please note that we can only accept applications from UK residents.
