Fundraiser
Description
Are you looking to meet new people whilst raising funds that will change lives? Join a Guide Dogs group near you for fun, fundraising and four-legged friends. You can help as little or as much as you like.
Why become a fundraising volunteer
Did you know it costs £102,000 to raise, train, and support a guide dog from birth to retirement?
As well as making a huge difference to people’s lives, volunteering with your local Guide Dogs fundraising group is a great way to spend some of your free time and give back.
- Inspire people to support Guide Dogs and make a difference to someone with sight loss.
- Have fun finding new events and places to volunteer at.
- You’ll meet lots of special dogs – from young puppies in training to incredible guide dogs in partnership.
- You’ll empower others to get involved with Guide Dogs.
- You’ll learn new skills and we’ll provide all the training you need for your role.
- You can take on as much or as little as you want, and you can fit the role around your other commitments.
Who you are
We appreciate our volunteers’ passion and energy, but we also value your unique skills, perspectives and personalities.
- Inspire others: Do you have lots of ideas that could motivate others? We need more inspirational volunteer leaders and fundraisers who can bring their energy and unique perspective to our local fundraising groups.
- Bring your skills: Could you help organise a calendar of events, take care of ordering merchandise, or count the funds raised by your local team? We need more volunteer treasurers, secretaries, group coordinators and merchandise coordinators to support our fundraising groups.
- Help take Guide Dogs into your community: Are you well connected or do you love going to new places and meeting new people? We need more volunteer fundraisers to help at our events and spread the word about our work.
Our groups across the UK have a range of opportunities available, from helping out now and again, to connecting with local businesses to find homes for collection boxes. There are also opportunities in select areas for Group Coordinators, Deputy Group Coordinators, Secretaries, Treasurers and Merchandise Coordinators.
