About this role
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.
Requirements
- References needed
Access to , and the ability to use, a computer and word processing software and e-mail.
The ability to be methodical, accurate and reliable in correspondence and organising matters.
The ability to use their initiative, whilst also working under the guidance / direction of the Trustees.
There would be no requirement for any particular availability as the work could be done to suit the volunteer. If they wanted to attend Trustee meetings these tend to be on a Wednesday evening, every other month.
