Community Fundraiser

We require passionate and committed women to join our volunteer force to help support women survivor(s) of sexual violence.

There are lots of ways to help us raise funds for our work; from bake sales to taking part in the Great North Run, organising a cabaret or building your own bike and cycling it across the USA! We are amazed by everyone who chooses to support us and what they achieve!

Below are some ways to raise funds on behalf of Rape Crisis Tyneside and Northumberland.

Take part in one of our events

We often hold fundraising events, from Firewalking to Abseiling, Art Auctions and Outdoor Survival. You can make sure you are kept informed by signing up for our e-bulletin.  You can choose the types of information we send you when you sign up.

Hold your own event

Many people choose to hold fundraising events on our behalf, for which we are very grateful. If you are keen to do this, please let us know, and we can support you with logos, leaflets, posters, sponsor forms and information.

Community Fundraisers help RCTN stay open! They’re the ones out there helping generate income to help keep our services running. This includes organising events, such as quizzes, tombola, and comedy gigs.

Skills

We are looking for women with a feminist perspective on sexual violence who understands the importance of empathy, confidentiality, and handling sensitive personal data. We particularly welcome volunteers from black and minoritised women, members of the LGBTQ community and / or women with disabilities.

Community fundraisers need a full day of training. This would be a great volunteer opportunity for those wanting to work in charity work / business / events planning / marketing.
