*Community Fundraising- Yorkshire, North East, & Scotland

The Children’s Air Ambulance are looking to create a fundraising group and are seeking volunteers to join.

Our fundraising groups form a vital network of volunteers across the country, being part of a group is a way to meet new people, make great friends and get involved in your local community, all whilst helping to keep our helicopters flying.

 We also rely on our fundraising groups to help organise fundraising events and activities within their local community, our groups act as ambassadors, helping to spread the word about the work of the Children’s Air Ambulance and encouraging and supporting local people, clubs and organisations to fundraise for us too.

Groups normally meet once a month and support in whatever way best suits their interests and skills to organise and support fundraising activities in their local community.

They do this by:

• Planning and organising fundraising events to take place across the year
• Meeting regularly as a group to reflect on events held and discuss future activities
• Developing relationships and representing the Children’s Air Ambulance in their local communities, including attending events
• Supporting the charities campaigns such as Wills Week, Superhero Month and Bring a £ day.
• Working alongside and support of a Fundraising Manager to identify opportunities

Start a new group - If there isn’t a group near you but you’d like to consider starting one then we’d love to hear from you. Speak to your local Community Fundraiser who can tell you more about what being part of a group involves and will be able to guide you through the steps of setting up a new group.

We are looking for volunteers to join our Community Fundraising Team to support in all areas including bucket collections, Supporting Events, Fundraising, Schools and General public speaking, tin co-ordinator/collector and being our Mascot.

Our Region Covers: Yorkshire, North East, and Scotland. 

This is a fantastic opportunity to become part of a great team, meet new people and gain new skills. 
Volunteering is very flexible, you can either commit to set hours each week/month or join us on a more flexible basis. Any time you can give helps us to fund our lifesaving missions. 

In return we will give you all the training you need to be successful in the role, support from management, and the opportunity to gain experience working for a national charity.
