The Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospital for Wales receives around 90,000 visits from children needing specialist and life-saving care every year. Thanks to our incredible community of donors, fundraisers, and volunteers, we can be here for them, enhancing and supporting the care provided by our incredible NHS colleagues to ensure that treatment can continue to improve. By listening to the needs of children and families, we deliver services that support them both emotionally and practically while ensuring that, at every turn, children are still able to be children.
The Opportunity
This voluntary role will be based in your community and is very flexible based on your availability and interests. As a guide we would anticipate this activity taking around 8 hours per month, but this could be scaled up or down, depending on your availability. In this role you will be helping to connect your community to the Noah’s Ark Charity, raising both valuable funds and awareness by liaising with local businesses and organisations willing to host a collection tin. Part of your responsibility will
be to collect these tins (hopefully full of donations!) and ensure we are able to bank the donation safely, helping us to support patients, their families and staff of the hospital. You will be part of our team building a rapport with organisations and our supporters, who can fundraise for us, in partnership with our fundraising team.
This is an ideal role for someone who has excellent communication skills, is friendly and approachable and who is comfortable using their own initiative as well as working with others. Smiles and passion will go a long way!
Your Noah’s Ark Community Fundraiser will support you to deliver the following:
Contacting and creating relationships with businesses and groups in your community to place collection tins in various premises e.g. supermarkets, local shops, pubs and clubs, cafes and restaurants, with their permission.
Keeping accurate records for the charity, in line with data protection guidelines.
Making sure that you have all the relevant materials you need e.g. tins documentation and banking information.
Ensuring all monies raised for the Noah’s Ark Charity are banked as per the charity’s procedure or given to the charity directly.
Keeping your collection sites up to date with Noah’s Ark Charity news, events and activities.
Collecting and maintaining used tins and notifying your Community Fundraiser in good time, of orders for new or replacement tins.
Community fundraising is all about creating relationships and is how we raise vital funds at a local level. The money you raise through your work with local businesses and groups will make a real difference in our ability to deliver life-saving equipment and services to Wales’ only specialist children’s hospital and the children and families who need this facility.
