Why we need you

If you’re interested in volunteering with people and dogs, and enjoy organising events, this could be the role for you. 

We need more volunteer Fundraising Group Coordinators who can help lead a team of volunteer Fundraisers in their local area. Or, if you want to build your confidence and support a Fundraising Group Coordinator on their way to success our Deputy role could be perfect for you. 

You’ll be a fundraising dream team, working together to achieve your group’s goals and improve the lives of people with sight loss. Together, you’ll organise a range of events and collections that raise vital awareness and funds for our life-changing services for people with sight loss.

What you’ll get

  • In these important volunteer roles, you’ll get the satisfaction of knowing you’re supporting people with sight loss by raising funds for vital services.
  • You’ll meet lots of new people, including people whose lives you are impacting.
  • You’ll also get to meet incredible dogs – from puppies and guide dogs in training to qualified guide dogs working in partnerships.
  • You’ll visit new places and enjoy fun days out with your team.
  • You can share your existing skills and develop new skills as we’ll also provide all the training you need for the role.
  • You’ll have a dedicated volunteer manager and a team of volunteers who will help support you throughout your role.
  • Volunteering should never leave you out of pocket. We pay reasonable expenses related to your volunteering with us, including travel costs.

Don’t worry if you feel you don’t tick every box, we’d love to hear from you to discuss the role or other ways you can get involved with your local fundraising group. 

We’re also here to answer any questions you might have and we have options to share the role with other team members. Please just get in touch by emailing volunteer@guidedogs.org.uk.
