Are you passionate about supporting individuals and families affected by ADHD? Do you want to contribute your leadership and organizational skills to a cause that truly makes a difference in your local community? If so, we need you!
About Us: We are a small but dedicated charity in West Yorkshire, committed to supporting anyone affected by ADHD. Founded by Corinne Hunter, a mother of four (three of whom have ADHD and autism), our charity was born out of a profound need for support and resources for families like hers. Recognizing the lack of statutory support, Corinne took action to create a haven of understanding and assistance.
Our Mission: Our mission is to provide comprehensive support to both children and adults with ADHD, as well as their parents, carers, and siblings. Our team is uniquely equipped with personal experience of living with ADHD—some of us have ADHD ourselves, while others care for someone with this condition. This firsthand experience fuels our passion and empathy in offering effective support.
What We Do:
- Monthly Peer Support Sessions: We organize peer support groups in every Local Authority within West Yorkshire, fostering community and understanding.
- Weekly Play Sessions: Children with ADHD and their families can enjoy weekly play sessions designed to be inclusive and supportive.
- Social Events: We host social events for teenagers and adults with ADHD, providing a safe space to connect and have fun.
- Respite Sessions: We offer fully funded respite sessions for parents and carers to take a much-needed break.
- Parenting Courses: Our parenting courses are tailored specifically for parents of neurodiverse children, providing practical strategies and support.
- Disability Benefits Support: We assist families in navigating the complex process of applying for disability benefits.
- Educational Advocacy: We support parents and carers in ensuring their children receive the necessary educational support.
Why Volunteer as a Fundraiser Manager? By volunteering as a Fundraiser Manager, you will play a crucial role in sustaining and expanding our programs. Your efforts will help us reach more families in need, provide essential resources, and create a stronger, more supportive community for those affected by ADHD.
Volunteer Fundraiser Manager Role:
- Leadership: Manage a team of volunteers dedicated to organizing and holding bi-annual fundraising events.
- Event Planning: Plan, coordinate, and execute events such as charity balls and other fundraising activities.
- Team Coordination: Oversee the recruitment, training, and management of volunteers to ensure successful event execution.
- Fundraising Strategy: Develop and implement creative fundraising strategies to meet and exceed fundraising goals.
- Community Engagement: Engage with local businesses, organizations, and community members to secure sponsorships and donations.
What We Need:
- Strong leadership and organizational skills.
- Experience in event planning or fundraising is a plus, but not required.
- Creativity and enthusiasm for planning unique and engaging fundraising events.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Passion for our cause and a commitment to making a difference.
How to Get Involved: If you are ready to make a meaningful impact and lead our fundraising efforts, we would love to hear from you! Join us as a Volunteer Fundraiser Manager and be part of a team that truly cares. Together, we can change lives and build a brighter future for individuals and families affected by ADHD.
Let's make a difference together—one event at a time!

Are you an enthusiastic team player? Do you enjoy attending events and talking to new people? If so, we’d love to hear from you! You don’t need an Armed Forces background, just a desire to support the serving community.
What is a Serving Community Fundraising Volunteers?
There is a SSAFA presence throughout the serving community, both in the UK and overseas. In many areas SSAFA have Service Committees and Serving Community Teams which offer financial, practical and emotional support to serving personnel and their families. Each team is formed of a group of dedicated volunteers who make this possible.
A Fundraising Volunteer is a crucial role in the team, helping the Fundraising Coordinator deliver a range of activities and events to raise awareness of SSAFA and generate funds. You will spend time out and about supporting initiatives such as fayres, street collections, quizzes, raffles and other promotional events.
What difference will you make?
Volunteers are the lifeblood of SSAFA. We have been involving volunteers in supporting the Armed Forces community for more than 130 years. Our beneficiaries come from all backgrounds and age groups and the number of people contacting us for help rises each year.
In order to keep providing support to those who need it most, SSAFA relies on regular charitable income. This income goes direct to beneficiaries as well as funding essential behind-the-scenes operating costs. Fundraising also keeps the SSAFA profile high in the local community, so everyone knows who we are and how we can help.
What will you be doing?
- Although every SSAFA Committee has different needs, below are the main activities of a Fundraising Volunteer:
- Being part of a team supporting at events for example, helping to run a SSAFA stall at an Armed Forces Day event, or selling raffle tickets at a local fayre.
- Supporting at organised collections for example, joining others to collect donations at a supermarket, shopping centre, or event.
- Distributing promotional materials, posters and flyers across the area.
- Supporting the Fundraising Coordinator and others in the team with planning fundraising activities and new ideas.
What about training and support?
- Online e-learning training modules to complete at home, so you are up to date on how to keep people and their personal information safe.
- Local induction and support.
- Ongoing support from SSAFA’s volunteering, operations and fundraising teams.
- Regular meetings and events to learn and share information.
- Reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses.
- Volunteers will be covered by SSAFA's Public Liability insurance while carrying out their role.
What can you gain from this volunteering role?
- Use your skills, knowledge and life experience to benefit others.
- Give back to the Armed Forces community.
- Become part of the SSAFA community and build networks across the serving community and local area.
- Experience, training, and skills that you can highlight on your CV and in job interviews.
- Better physical and mental health – studies show that volunteers live longer and experience lower levels of stress and depression!
What are we looking for?
- Friendly and approachable people with good communication skills.
- Good IT skills
- Honesty and reliability
- Ability to be a team player
- A willingness to adhere to all relevant organisational policies and procedures.
This is a flexible role that would suit someone who would like to volunteer regularly or at one-off events when time permits.
Minimum Age: 18
Are references required? Yes. Two-character references from people who know you well (not family members).
Is a criminal record check required? No
We work to make SSAFA as safe as possible for everyone. Part of this involves volunteers attending an informal interview, providing two suitable references, and completing relevant training for your role.
The client requests no contact from agencies or media sales.
Thank you!

Join Our Team as a Volunteer Fundraiser Manager and Help us Make a Difference!
Are you passionate about supporting individuals and families affected by ADHD? Do you want to contribute your leadership and organizational skills to a cause that truly makes a difference in your local community? If so, we need you!
About Us: We are a small but dedicated charity in West Yorkshire, committed to supporting anyone affected by ADHD. Founded by Corinne Hunter, a mother of four (three of whom have ADHD and autism), our charity was born out of a profound need for support and resources for families like hers. Recognizing the lack of statutory support, Corinne took action to create a haven of understanding and assistance.
Our Mission: Our mission is to provide comprehensive support to both children and adults with ADHD, as well as their parents, carers, and siblings. Our team is uniquely equipped with personal experience of living with ADHD—some of us have ADHD ourselves, while others care for someone with this condition. This firsthand experience fuels our passion and empathy in offering effective support.
What We Do:
- Monthly Peer Support Sessions: We organize peer support groups in every Local Authority within West Yorkshire, fostering community and understanding.
- Weekly Play Sessions: Children with ADHD and their families can enjoy weekly play sessions designed to be inclusive and supportive.
- Social Events: We host social events for teenagers and adults with ADHD, providing a safe space to connect and have fun.
- Respite Sessions: We offer fully funded respite sessions for parents and carers to take a much-needed break.
- Parenting Courses: Our parenting courses are tailored specifically for parents of neurodiverse children, providing practical strategies and support.
- Disability Benefits Support: We assist families in navigating the complex process of applying for disability benefits.
- Educational Advocacy: We support parents and carers in ensuring their children receive the necessary educational support.
Why Volunteer as a Fundraiser Manager? By volunteering as a Fundraiser Manager, you will play a crucial role in sustaining and expanding our programs. Your efforts will help us reach more families in need, provide essential resources, and create a stronger, more supportive community for those affected by ADHD.
Volunteer Fundraiser Manager Role:
- Leadership: Manage a team of volunteers dedicated to organizing and holding bi-annual fundraising events.
- Event Planning: Plan, coordinate, and execute events such as charity balls and other fundraising activities.
- Team Coordination: Oversee the recruitment, training, and management of volunteers to ensure successful event execution.
- Fundraising Strategy: Develop and implement creative fundraising strategies to meet and exceed fundraising goals.
- Community Engagement: Engage with local businesses, organizations, and community members to secure sponsorships and donations.
What We Need:
- Strong leadership and organizational skills.
- Experience in event planning or fundraising is a plus, but not required.
- Creativity and enthusiasm for planning unique and engaging fundraising events.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Passion for our cause and a commitment to making a difference.
How to Get Involved: If you are ready to make a meaningful impact and lead our fundraising efforts, we would love to hear from you! Join us as a Volunteer Fundraiser Manager and be part of a team that truly cares. Together, we can change lives and build a brighter future for individuals and families affected by ADHD.
