Fundraising Manager - Wattisham, Suffolk, United Kingdom - SSAFA - The Armed Forces Charity - Volunteer Roles

Description

Do you enjoy attending events and talking to new people? You don't need an Armed Forces background, just a desire to support the serving community.

What is a Serving Community Fundraising Coordinator?
There is a SSAFA presence throughout the serving community, both in the UK and overseas.

In many areas SSAFA have Service Committees and Serving Community Teams which offer financial, practical and emotional support to serving personnel and their families.

A Fundraising Coordinator is a crucial role in the team, helping to deliver a range of activities and events to raise awareness of SSAFA and generate funds.

You will spend time out and about supporting initiatives such as fayres, street collections, quizzes, raffles and other promotional events.

We have been involving volunteers in supporting the Armed Forces community for more than 130 years.

Our beneficiaries come from all backgrounds and age groups and the number of people contacting us for help rises each year.

In order to keep providing support to those who need it most, SSAFA relies on regular charitable income.

Fundraising also keeps the SSAFA profile high in the local community, so everyone knows who we are and how we can help.
