Whitstone Fundraising Committee Members

About the role

Make a difference in your community

Thanks to our dedicated supporters and volunteers, we’ve been at the heart of progress that has seen cancer survival in the UK double over the past 50 years.

Every step we make towards beating cancer relies on every pound, every hour and every person. Be a part of Whitstone Local Committee fundraising group; raising awareness and life-saving funds to help beat cancer sooner.

What you’ll be doing

• Identifying new ideas and opportunities to maximise local fundraising efforts

• Helping to plan and coordinate group fundraising activities

• Promoting fundraising events and initiatives in the local community

• Attending group meetings

• Representing Cancer Research UK and your group in the local community

• Keeping up to date with the latest news and activities from Cancer Research UK, and where possible, helping to support and promote other Cancer Research UK events in the area.

Where and when

This is a role based in Whitstone; however, part of your role will include you being ‘out and about’ in the community, e.g. committee meetings, fundraising events, etc.

As this is a flexible volunteering opportunity, this is something to discuss with your local Relationship Manager, and we will help you find the best way to help beat cancer sooner.

We have many roles to suit your circumstances and availability; every member of a fundraising group is a valued supporter of Cancer Research UK. You might take on a specific role in the group (if available), like Chair, Treasurer or Secretary. Or you might be happy just helping out ad hoc.

What to expect from Cancer Research UK

• An induction and ongoing support and guidance from your Relationship Manager, as well as fellow volunteers

• Advice on how to set up and promote a variety of fundraising events

• The opportunity to be invited on a virtual visit to one of our research laboratories to see how your money helps save lives

• We will reimburse agreed-upon out-of-pocket expenses

Reasonable adjustments

At Cancer Research UK we know that having a diverse volunteer community will help us to beat cancer. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential. We will happily consider making any reasonable adjustments to support volunteer applications from people with a disability or health condition.

Benefits of volunteering

What you’ll gain

• Meet like-minded people who are working together to raise money for Cancer Research UK

• Know you are helping Cancer Research UK bring forward the day when all cancers are cured

• Be involved in a wide range of exciting fundraising activities and events

• Development and support of new and existing skills
