Become a Fundraising and Engagement Volunteer
Join our amazing team of Fundraising and Engagement Volunteers.
Our Fundraising and Engagement Volunteers raise vital awareness and funds within their local communities, helping us continue to care for more people struggling with grief.
They support us in many meaningful ways, from organising and delivering local fundraising events, to speaking about our work within their communities, and distributing and managing collection boxes.
Every conversation they have and every fundraising activity they support brings us one step closer to our goal that no one should face grief alone.
It's given me confidence, and something to focus on after teaching. if lot's of people do little things, it adds up.
