Job description

Looking for a meaningful way to use your skills and make a real difference?

Devon & Cornwall Food Action is a volunteer-led charity turning surplus food into vital support for families across the region—and we’re looking for a Fundraising Lead to help us grow our impact.

About the role

As our Volunteer Fundraising Lead, you’ll play a central role in helping sustain and grow our work.

We collect surplus food from local businesses and turn it into weekly shopping for families facing food poverty—but to make that happen, we need funding to cover essentials like food top-ups, fuel, warehouse costs and equipment.

You’ll help build relationships, identify funding opportunities and support fundraising activities that keep everything running.

This is a flexible role with real ownership and the opportunity to shape how you contribute.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building relationships with local businesses and supporters
  • Identifying fundraising opportunities and income streams
  • Supporting or developing grant applications
  • Helping plan fundraising activities or events
  • Contributing ideas to grow and sustain the charity

What you’ll gain

  • The opportunity to use your experience for a meaningful cause
  • Flexible volunteering that fits around your life
  • A chance to make a lasting, visible impact in your local community
  • Experience in charity fundraising, partnerships and strategy
  • Being part of a friendly, supportive and purpose-driven team

What we’re looking for

  • Strong communication and relationship-building skills
  • Organised, proactive and able to take initiative
  • Interest in fundraising, business development or community engagement
  • Friendly, reliable and motivated to make a difference

Previous fundraising experience is helpful but not essential—we welcome people with transferable skills and enthusiasm.

Application Instructions

Please email us to apply and include:

The role you’re interested in
Your general availability (e.g. weekdays, evenings, weekends)
A short sentence about why you’d like to get involved

We’ll then be in touch to arrange a quick informal chat and help you get started.
We aim to respond promptly and can often onboard volunteers quickly.
