About the organisation:

Measham Youth Club is a charity run by a group of Trustees to provide a youth club for the young people in Measham and the surrounding villages. We own a building and this can be hired by community groups as well as being the youth centre.

Full Details:

At the moment the Youth Club relies on its financial reserves to remain financially viable, but gradually these will be used up.

We want to increase our income without putting up the subscriptions that the members pay, thus enabling the club to be available to anyone wanting to join, irrespective of their home situation.

The current trustees have their hands full with administrative and practical duties for the club and do not have the capacity to undertake more fundraising.  We are looking for someone who would be able to initiate an ” easy fundraising” scheme.   This involves encouraging people who feel positive towards the Youth Club to do their on-line shopping via the EasyFundraising website.  For every purchase, the Youth Club receives a small percentage of the sale.

It would also be possible that after training the volunteer might be able to apply for grants that sometimes become available.

There is also the possibility of organising particular fundraising events, which could range from an indoor “car boot” sale in the Youth Centre to sponsored walks.

Depending on the wishes of the volunteer they could attend bi-monthlyTrustee meetings to get a feel for the organisation, or they could work purely from home,  communicating with Trustees via phone or e-mail.
