Fundraising Mentor Volunteer Opportunity No. VO70925 - Created/last updated: 04/08/2020 | ![]() Opportunity |
About this opportunity: | Our volunteers are carefully matched with Sported member clubs within their locality, who they then support on a one-to-one basis to help them to attract investment into their organisation. Sported supports groups who are utilising sport to bring about real social difference throughout the UK so volunteers will be paired with a group that are doing really inspiring work. These groups are doing incredible work but require some guidance around fundraising in order to make them more sustainable and increase their capacity. If you have over 5 years experience in a range of fundraising, then Sported would love to hear from you. This is a great opportunity to make a lasting impact on a community group in your area. If you enjoy working with people and have a desire to make a difference then please get in touch. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
