Description

As a Collection Box Volunteer, you’ll help BucksVision raise vital funds by placing and collecting charity boxes in your local area. It’s a simple but powerful way to support people with sight loss — every box helps fund activities, groups, and services that reduce isolation and bring people together.

What you will be doing: • Approaching local shops, cafés, pubs, and businesses to place new collection boxes • Emptying and replacing full boxes with fresh ones (usually every 3 months) • Counting and recording donations received • Building friendly relationships with local retailers and venues • Making sure each venue receives a thank-you card showing the amount raised • Keeping boxes clean, sealed, and in good condition • Occasionally placing BucksVision leaflets or posters in venues/community spaces

The impact you'll have

• A flexible volunteering role you can fit around your own time • The chance to meet new people and build community connections • A real sense of achievement seeing how much your boxes raise • Experience of community fundraising and promotion • Ongoing support and training

The skills you'll need

You will need to have the following skills in order to participate:

Friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable • Good communicator, happy to chat to local people • Able to use your own initiative • Familiar with your local area
