Volunteer Fundraising Assistant

This is an exciting time! Let’s tackle domestic abuse and sexual violence together across the South West.

As a Volunteer Fundraising Assistant, you will be playing an important role in helping FearFree embark on its new fundraising journey. Supported by the Head of Fundraising, you’ll be helping to research and identify new income streams including potential corporate support, new community events and opportunities. To begin with, this is a primarily research-based role, which can be done remotely or in our Trowbridge office. As the fundraising grows, there is scope for this role to also grow (subject to the volunteers wishes). This is a great opportunity for someone looking to pursue a career in fundraising, gain vital insights into how charity fundraising works or someone who enjoys research/pc based work.

Training and support

FearFree will provide induction training and appropriate training to the role. This role offers the opportunity to
develop skills and make an incredible difference to the people we support. References can be requested after 3 months of active volunteering.
