Through research, advocacy, training, and systems change, we centre the voices of women, girls, and trans and non-binary people across the lifecycle of sexual and reproductive health. Our programmes are grounded in intersectional feminist values and led by lived experience.

About the Role

We are recruiting Campaign & Fundraising Volunteers to support the charity in achieving its fundraising goals for the annual The Big Give's  Women & Girls Match Fund.

All donations made through our campaign page will be matched up to the first £5,000 raised by The Big Give, and we would like to find corporate or individual donors who are willing to match donations as well, or make one-off donations of their own.

Our project team consists of experts in social media marketing, campaign content creation, graphic design, digital communications, and project administration. We now need additional volunteer to support donor outreach and fundraising efforts — helping us build relationships, increase visibility, and reach new supporters before and during the campaign week, or to run small fundraisers locally in your community.

Donor Outreach & Fundraising

• Reaching out to individual, corporate, or high-value donors

• Helping us recruit and liaise with influencers who care about women's and girls' reproductive health

• Writing or editing outreach messages, talking points, and thank-yous

• Coordinating small peer-led fundraisers (e.g. bake sales, quiz nights, digital events)

• Helping us track responses, donations, and follow-ups

We’ll provide all materials, templates, and guidance — you’ll never be left to figure it out alone.

What You’ll Get From It

• A hands-on role in a nationally profiled fundraising campaign

• Experience in digital fundraising, donor relations, and campaigning

• Supervision and support from WRA UK staff and senior volunteers

• Flexible, remote volunteering around your availability

• Public credit and the option of a reference or LinkedIn recommendation

• Satisfaction in knowing your work directly supports trauma-informed care and SRHR justice

Who This Role Is For

We’re looking for people who are:

• Available to begin ASAP as the campaign preparation has begun so that we are ready for the week the fundraising event runts (8-15 October)

• Confident communicators and relationship builders

• Proactive, reliable, and responsive

• Passionate about equity in reproductive healthcare

• Able to work independently but keen to collaborate with a team

• Fundraising, stakeholder management, and sales experience —not mandatory, but nice to have.

• Motivation and willingness to help.

Diversity & Inclusion

We actively encourage applications from individuals with lived experience of the issues we campaign on, and from underrepresented communities, including (but not limited to) Black, Asian, disabled, chronically ill, LGBTQ+, and retired individuals.

Legal Eligibility

UK-based applicants must already have the right to volunteer.
