Bucket Collections Volunteer

We have ambitious fundraising targets to reach in the fundraising team at Vista. One way we want to increase our income and local profile is by holding more regular bucket collections - but to make them successful we need a team of enthusiastic and willing volunteers to hold the buckets and collect vital funds for us! This will be in supermarkets, train stations and shopping centres across the region. Whether you can give a couple of hours a month, are willing to volunteer every weekend or just help when you can, we would love to hear from you. It is great fun, you will meet new friends and make a real difference to the people we support.

Responsibilities:

• Helping to collect funds via bucket collections throughout Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (You can travel across the region or just help when we are in your area)
• Willing to help count the money collected and bank it if required
• Potentially lending a hand at large fundraising events where we need extra support

Qualities and skills we are looking for:

• People who like to raise money while having fun
• To be friendly, enthusiastic, professional and confident with a genuine interest in raising funds to support the work of Vista
• To be trustworthy, honest and reliable, particularly when dealing with money
• Flexibility including occasionally being available at short notice

Support provided for you:

• Visual Impairment Awareness training will be provided and take place at Vista
• Regular newsletters, updates and news from the Volunteer Manager at Vista
• Other training as identified
• Reimbursement of out of pocket expenses such as mileage or public transport costs
