Fundraising Volunteer

Main purpose of job

To assist the fundraising team committee to plan and carry out fundraising events to raise awareness and funds for CDCH. The Committee organise their own events, such as quizzes and raffles and also attend community events, running CDCH stalls and dog shows.

We run our own open days at the centre, relying heavily on the help of our committee to bring the event together. If you love meeting people, you are passionate about animals and you have an expertise you think could be of use to our team then we would love to hear from you.

Commitment

We hold meetings every 8 weeks at our centre at 6pm. We will provide support and training and help you settle into our fabulous team and you will have an induction at CDCH so you have a good understanding of the centre.

Although there won’t be any hands-on animal work, this is a key volunteer role at CDCH and our Fundraising Committee Supporters must share our love of animals.

Quote from an existing FC volunteer “I am passionate about animal welfare but I don’t think I could work closely with the animals as I would want to take them all home! The FC work is fun, they are a smashing group of people and it can be extremely rewarding”
