Volunteer fundraising groups are a way for Child Bereavement UK supporters to come together and raise funds in aid of the charity. Fundraising groups can be formed by an individual with friends and family members or you can join an existing group. All groups require a minimum of three members. Groups meet at times and locations to suit group members and decide between them how they will fundraise. 

Groups will be supported by a member of staff from Child Bereavement UK who will help the group to become established and decide on group roles. This will include providing fundraising materials and merchandise such as collection buckets and wristbands, information about the charity, and ideas on how to make the most out of the group’s fundraising activities. Volunteer groups are an excellent way to collaborate with people in your area and utilise any ideas and skills you may have. All volunteers will need to be organised and dedicated team players who are friendly and approachable with good communication skills.

Terms
Volunteers will be supported by a member of staff from Child Bereavement UK to introduce new volunteers to the group. Group meetings and light training will be offered to help establish or support a group. Volunteer fundraising groups are encouraged to hold two or more events a year which will require volunteers to meet and communicate on an ad-hoc basis. Groups run by volunteers will follow Child Bereavement UK's fundraising procedures and UK fundraising legislation, as communicated and supported by a member of staff from Child Bereavement UK.

Support given

We will provide you with light training support and guidance along the way, including supporting group members, introductions to new volunteers in the group, resources for events and volunteer t-shirts.

What you’ll get out of the experience

You will get to meet other local volunteers with similar interests and make new friends. Through the volunteering group you will be able to implement your own ideas and use creative thinking, develop your event planning, fundraising, communication, and team building skills and help to raise vital funds to help enable Child Bereavement UK to support children and families to rebuild their lives following bereavement.
