• Thanking donors, and creating personalised correspondence and other communication to support fundraisers
• Assisting with member administration, updating database, preparing reports
• Maintaining stock records for merchandise, office consumables and equipment
• Dealing with daily post runs, sending out shop orders, support materials, fundraising materials and thank you letters
• Supporting with Charity Commission compliance requirements
• Supporting with TOFS events and supporter engagement opportunities
• Undertaking administrative tasks and team support

------------------------------------------
