This volunteer role supports the Fundraising Team at Bristol Animal Rescue Centre with a variety of important behind-the-scenes tasks. You’ll help process donations, keep supporter records accurate and up to date, and assist with essential admin that keeps fundraising activities running smoothly.
The role also involves supporting campaigns throughout the year, including busy periods such as the festive period, and helping to ensure donors are thanked and feel valued. It’s a hands-on, varied opportunity that offers insight into how fundraising works, ideal for someone who likes to be organised, detail-focused, and who is keen to make a meaningful contribution.
Every volunteer effort makes a difference, and we look forward to welcoming a new Fundraising Volunteer to our team.
