We are a passionate movement of people, united in creating a society where every cat has their best possible life because they are protected, cared for and understood.
About this role:
As a charity we can help thousands of cats each year thanks to the generous donations from our supporters. Fundraising is a core role in our charity, helping to raise the vital funds needed to help more cats and kittens in need.
As a fundraising volunteer, we want to support you in fundraising in a way that suits you best. Whether that involves attending a fundraising event, fundraising online, promoting fundraising activities on social media, handling administrative tasks, or contributing to the development of new fundraising ideas! Whatever your skill set, this role could be perfect for you!
What could you expect to be doing?
As a flexible role, you have the choice to be involved in the following:
- face-to-face fundraising – organising or helping with fundraising events, attending supermarket collections and monitoring collection boxes.
- online fundraising – assist with online appeals, increasing social media engagement to maximise funds raised.
- Bring new ideas! We always love to come up with new ideas to raise funds for cats and we’d love to help bring yours to life.
- Engage with your local branch and Fundraising Hub and feel like an integral part of the team.
What are the benefits to you and the cats?
You will have the opportunity to develop your knowledge though Cats Protection’s learn online system, providing you with the skills to thrive as a fundraiser. You will also have the chance to meet new people and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers.
Money raised by our volunteers enables us to put cats first. Cats are at the centre of all we do. We care for them, ensure their welfare, and help others to understand and support them better.
We're looking for someone who is:
- Sympathetic to cats and our values
- Happy to work and communicate as part of a team of volunteers and with members of staff.
- Flexible and adaptable to different events/activities
- Open to new ideas and ways of working
Time expectation
The fundraising role is very flexible, often certain times of the year are busier than others. You can choose your level of involvement to suit your schedule.
Support, guidance and keeping you safe
At Cats Protection we believe our volunteers should be happy and confident in their roles. We provide support and guidance from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
