Community Fundraiser Volunteer

Are you looking for a flexible volunteering role, which still makes a real difference? Rainbows supports around 750 babies, children and young people, throughout the East Midlands, each year; but the annual statutory funding we receive would only keep Rainbows open for 7 weeks. Therefore, our Community Fundraisers play a vital role in helping us to, quite literally, keep our doors open.

With over 100 fundraising events and activities each year, there are lots of different ways you could help us raise vital money to help us brighten short lives – there really is something for everyone! Not only is it a great opportunity to connect with a range of different people; it is also one of our most flexible volunteering roles, allowing volunteers to choose events which fit around their schedule and commitments.

We’ll keep you in the loop with our regular newsletter, packed with exciting updates on Rainbows’ activities and a list of upcoming events needing volunteer support. 

Typical tasks the role could involve:

• Join the Team: Come together with other local volunteers to help plan engaging fundraising events in your community.
• Super Seller: Sell and handle small cash transactions for Rainbows and other fun fundraising activities, such as our famous handbag amnesty.
• Information Sharer: Inspire people to take action in support of Rainbows and be the go-to person for anyone seeking information of Rainbows.
• Events Extraordinaire: Play a key role in larger Rainbows events such as Santa Runs and Christmas concerts.
• Get Creative: If you have a great idea for a fundraising activity, we’ll aim to work with you to see how we can put this into action and allow you to help support Rainbows.

Will it suit me?

Are you friendly, outgoing, and enjoy connecting with new people? Volunteering within our Community Team could be your perfect match! Whether you thrive on conversation and enjoy engaging with others, or prefer being hands-on and getting things done; this is your chance to shine. Our events, typically held on weekends or evenings, offer flexibility with no fixed commitment. Any time you can give helps fund our vital work.
