Community Fundraising Volunteer Roles

Could you help to raise vital funds for SSAFA in your local area? You don’t need a military background, just the ability to get on with all kinds of people, some basic I.T skills and good written and spoken English. If you already have some fundraising experience that would be great too but it’s not essential.

What is a Fundraising Coordinator?

As Fundraising Coordinator, you would work with your local SSAFA branch to develop a Fundraising Plan. You would be central to delivering this local plan to raise funds through a range of local sources including grants, trusts, appeals, collections, and events.

Why do we need you?

We’ve been supporting the Armed Forces community since 1885. Our clients come from all backgrounds and age groups and may have served in WW2 or in a more recent conflict like the Falklands or Afghanistan.

There are SSAFA branches throughout the UK and overseas who support local volunteers to deliver services to veterans, serving personnel and their families. Some branches are divided into smaller divisions to ensure the best local service delivery. Each branch has a team of volunteer caseworkers, support volunteers, executive roles, and fundraisers.

SSAFA branches rely on a regular charitable income to fund all the necessities behind our support for clients. This includes volunteer travel expenses, phone bills, publicity, and grants for clients in urgent needs. A varied programme of fundraising also keeps the SSAFA profile high in the local community. We’d love to hear from you if you could help by coordinating this vital aspect of your local SSAFA branch.

When would you be needed and where would you be based?

As part of your local branch, you might have access to an office, but many volunteers are based at home. You would also be out and about at events and meetings. This role would suit someone looking to give a regular time commitment to SSAFA although when and where would be flexible to suit you.

What would you be doing?

Why join us? Make-A-Wish UK brings amazing people together to grant inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical conditions. We work with wish children, their families, and medical teams to make unforgettable wishes a reality – like a child getting to be a princess in their own castle, cooking with their favourite celebrity chef, and even becoming a Ghostbuster to save the city of Leeds!

Join our volunteering community now and make a lasting difference by donating your time to grant wishes – it’s honestly one of the most magical experiences you’ll ever have!

Why We Need Your Help We are granting a record number of wishes, providing families with a precious opportunity to rescue the magic of childhood as quickly as we can. But demand for wishes is far outpacing our best efforts to keep up, so it’s taking longer than ever to grant wishes to children and families who are facing some of their toughest and most relentless times together.

By volunteering, you have the power to make a wish come true for a critically ill child, allowing families to create lasting memories to treasure forever – no matter what the future holds.

What you will be doing With the demand for wishes being so high, we urgently need to generate vital support to help us to say yes to every eligible child, and that’s where you come in! Once our expert team of Wishgranters have designed a child’s magical wish, we need your time, skills, passion and energy to bring that wish to life and make it a reality!

We need Wish Makers across the UK to help us to:

• Research and reach out to local companies, telling them about the children that are waiting for their wishes right now in their region and asking them to donate their services and goods such as a limousine ride or a hotel stay so that a local child’s wish can come true.
• Rally and inspire your community to raise funds to help pay for the rising cost of wishes, meaning that more children can have their wishes granted in as short a timescale as possible, and they can be part of making that magic happen!
• Work as a team with your fellow local volunteers to organise fundraising events such as balls, school sports days, workplace fundraisers etc that will enable more children to have their magical wishes granted by raising vital funds
• Arrange and deliver special gifts in the run up to the wish to add to the excitement and anticipation for the child and their family, and support with the collection and delivery of local donations for the wish itself, which range from princess costumes to balloons!
• Identify local businesses, community groups and organisations who would be willing to support Make-A-Wish UK and help children waiting in your local region.
• Apply for local funding/Charity of the Year opportunities such as supermarket charity opportunities, local council Mayor’s charities etc that could help to grant more local wishes and be part of something special in your community
• Support our wish families on the day of the wish itself, ensuring everything goes smoothly and everyone involved has a magical experience

The skills you need It truly does take a community of people to grant a wish, and we are looking for special people who want to become part of building these communities around the children that are waiting right now for their wishes to be granted. If this sounds like you, then we would love to hear from you!

• Confident in approaching a wide range of different people, groups and organisations to ask for donations/support; in person, by phone and through email
• Warm, friendly and comfortable interacting with others to create the best experience possible, representing our wish children and their families to make communities feel part of our local mission

• A commitment to our behaviours and values, always with our wish families at the heart of all you do as a volunteer

What's in it for you We think that volunteering at Make-A-Wish UK is one of the most rewarding experiences you can have, as you get to make actual magical wishes come true! But if that’s not enough, here are a few more of the wonderful benefits of donating your time:

• You’ll get active in your local community with some of our other wonderful volunteers – both in person and online
• You’ll be helping local wish families by bringing a child’s unique wish to life through all stages of the wish journey.
• You’ll develop new skills and gain new experiences whilst building new relationships with a diverse range of like-minded wonderful people

educate impoverished children, igniting their highest potential and fostering loving, healthy
