The fundraising team at Turning Tides is a small group of enthusiastic people who need help from like-minded volunteers who are as passionate about the charity as they are.

As an Event Fundraising Volunteer, you will support the planning and execution of fundraising events that help raise vital funds to support local people experiencing homelessness. All events are different and include local fairs and charity fundraising events and supermarket bucket collections.

What will I be doing? Engaging with the public and talking about the charity’s work to encourage new supporters. Running fundraising activities, such as raffles or selling merchandise at events. Collecting donations using buckets, collection tins and our cashless tap-and-go terminals (training and support will be provided). Helping with event setup and takedown, including arranging gazebos, tables, and displays.
