Cats Protection is the UK’s leading feline welfare charity and our vision is a world where every cat is treated with kindness and an understanding of its needs. As a charity we are able to help thousands of cats each year thanks to the generous donations we receive from members of the public.
Our fundraising team leaders have the exciting and varied role of inspiring our fundraising volunteers to plan and deliver local fundraising events. Using their passion and imagination, they oversee a small team of fundraising volunteers who come together to raise the vital funds needed to cover costs such as veterinary bills and food. Our fundraising team leaders support their team of volunteers in all aspects of their roles, making sure our volunteers are happy, confident and supported. Activities include:
· Supporting and encouraging a team of fundraising volunteers
· Planning fundraising events and activities with your team
· Allocating tasks before and during fundraising events
· Keeping financial records from fundraising events
· Encouraging and promoting a professional image of Cats Protection
· Following policies and guidelines and ensuring licences and permits are obtained for events
You will develop new skills, expand your knowledge and make a significant contribution to improving the lives of cats and kittens by helping raise funds and awareness through organising local events. You will also meet new people, make new friends and be part of a dedicated team of volunteers. You will be supported and guided from our National Cat Centre and through our regional and local volunteer groups and teams. We offer engaging online and face-to-face training, expenses and have policies and processes to help volunteers get the most out of their time with us.
We're looking for someone with the following:
· Great people skills and the ability to bring out the best in others
· Excellent organisational skills
· The ability to prioritise and delegate
· An appreciation of the importance of handling money and charity resources responsibly
· Fine-tuned communication skills and a passion for engaging with people within your local community
· Basic IT skills to use Cats Protection systems - training and support can be provided
· Committee volunteers need to be aged 18+
Our fundraising team leaders usually spend three to four hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer if needed.
The wellbeing of our people is important and at Cats Protection we are committed to safeguarding children, adults at risk and all those that we come into contact with as part of our activities.
Making a better life for cats, because life is better with cats
