Fundraising Group Leader

Why we want you

Local fundraising groups are the face of Myeloma UK in the community, raising money and the profile of the charity. Groups raise funds through their own events to support people living with myeloma and their families.

We want to work together with people from all communities and backgrounds to help people affected by myeloma and related conditions. We’re committed to providing a quality volunteering experience to all volunteers.

What you will be doing

• Recruiting and supporting new members of the local fundraising group
• Leading the fundraising group, organising and attending regular meetings
• Planning, organising and promoting fundraising events and collections with other group members
• Ensuring the group’s activities comply with all relevant legislation, with support from the Community Fundraiser
• Keeping the records of the group’s accounts and banking money raised
• Acting as an ambassador for Myeloma UK by building community networks - e.g. local schools, businesses and community groups
• Liaising with the local Community Fundraiser and Volunteer Coordinator to ensure that group member details are kept up to date
• Communicating with group members about the work of Myeloma UK

What’s in it for you

• We will pay agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with Myeloma UK’s volunteer expenses policy.
• We are always developing new opportunities for volunteers to learn and offer a range of options for volunteers.
• Learning new skills
• Getting more involved and making a real difference to people with myeloma and their families
• Adding to your CV
• Keeping active and involved
• Meeting like-minded and inspiring people in your community
• Having fun!

Skills

• Willingness to lead and be part of a team
• Strong organisational skills
• Local knowledge and links to your community
• Numeracy skills and attention to detail
• An ability to represent Myeloma UK enthusiastically and appropriately
• Good communication skills
• Adhere to rules around GDPR and a strong understanding of confidentiality
• The time commitment for this role is flexible. We expect more time to be needed in the short-term to set up a fundraising group than to maintain it in the longer-term.
