Fundraising volunteers play an essential role at Sue Ryder – raising vital funds that enable the charity to be alongside people through terminal illness, death and grief.  

In this role, you will work with your local fundraising team to help support community events in your area. Activities in the role will be varied but may include: 

• Pre-Event Preparations: Gathering raffle prizes and donations from local businesses. Making event packs, posters, signs, and letters.  
• On-the-Day Support: Setting up and packing away event stalls, gazebos, and tables. Helping with registration, guiding people, and answering questions.  
• Community Engagement: Promoting events on social media and in the local news. Helping identify local businesses, schools, community groups and organisations that may be interested in supporting Sue Ryder.
