Fundraising events organiser volunteer volunteer roles in Birmingham

The difference you will make to cats and people

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 events organisers have the exciting and varied role of helping plan and deliver local fundraising events to raise the vital funds needed to help cats. Our fundraising events organisers use their passion for cats and people to plan cake sales, barn dances, quiz nights and everything in between.

You can expect us to

• make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours
• support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection
• cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy
• provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

What we need from you

You'll be:

• planning fundraising events and activities like cake sales, quiz nights and barn dances
• providing the treasurer with information on funds raised 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

Time expectation

Our fundraising events organisers usually spend two to three hours per week in this role, which is flexible and can be shared by more than one volunteer.

You may be just the volunteer we've been looking for!

We are committed to building a diverse, compassionate and inclusive organisation where everyone can be themselves and do their best. We are courageous and compassionate in our purpose of helping people see the world through cats’ eyes. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are all for cats. Join the UK’s leading cat welfare charity and help make a better life for cats, because life is better with cats.

The role encompasses a variety of responsibilities including securing venues, managing budgets, recruiting volunteers, and promoting events, while cultivating relationships with donors and stakeholders to maximize income. We would expect you to start small but build up to the creation of a sustainable funding stream on which the charity can rely.

If you’re experienced in event management and have the contacts needed to make events successful, we’d love to welcome you aboard. This is a brilliant opportunity to make a positive impact, gain valuable skills, and work with other volunteers to support the work of the charity.

VOLUNTEER ROLE: EVENTS ORGANISER

The Lyonic Scots Clan Society

Flexible • One‑off or multiple events throughout the year

The Lyonic Scots Clan Society is a modern Scottish cultural organisation inspired by the legacy of Robert “The Lyon” and the survivors of Culloden. We celebrate Scottish heritage, Highland identity, and the enduring spirit of courage, kinship, and belonging.

As we continue to grow across the UK and internationally, we are seeking enthusiastic Volunteer Events Organisers to help us plan and deliver a number of small cultural events throughout the year. Whether you want to organise one event or several, your contribution will help bring the Clan together and strengthen our community.

About the Role

Events are at the heart of any clan society — moments where heritage comes alive, friendships are formed, and community is strengthened. We are looking for volunteers who can help plan, coordinate, and deliver small‑scale gatherings such as:

• Cultural meet‑ups

• Heritage talks or workshops

• Social gatherings

• Online events

• Local clan meet‑and‑greets

• Seasonal celebrations

You can take on one event, a few, or support the full calendar — whatever suits your availability.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan and organise small events (online or in‑person)

• Coordinate logistics such as venue, timings, and materials

• Communicate with attendees and the Council

• Ensure events run smoothly and reflect the dignity and heritage of the Clan

• Work with other volunteers when needed

• Share ideas for new cultural or community‑building activities

Who We’re Looking For

You’ll be a great fit if you:

• Enjoy organising gatherings or community events

• Are reliable, friendly, and good at communicating

• Can manage simple logistics and planning tasks

• Are creative and enjoy bringing people together

• Care about Scottish culture, heritage, and community identity

• Want to contribute to a meaningful cultural organisation

No professional events experience is required — just enthusiasm and a willingness to help.

What You’ll Gain

• Experience in event planning and community organising

• A chance to shape the cultural life of the Lyonic Scots

• Flexible volunteering — take on as much or as little as you like

• A warm, supportive team who value your contribution

• The joy of bringing people together through heritage and community

If you’re ready to help create meaningful cultural moments for the Lyonic Scots, we would be delighted to hear from you.
