From your community
Local communities have never been more important and volunteering in yours has never more powerful. That’s why our ‘from your community’ volunteer roles are so special. You’ll be connecting with people locally and using your connections to be the voice, eyes and ears of CLIC Sargent. Whether that’s virtually or in person.
Check out more info on each role below, complete the application form and we’ll be in touch to get you ready to hit the road running for children and young people with cancer.
Could you be the – virtual – face of CLIC Sargent in your local community, supporting our fight for young lives against cancer?
Become a CLIC Sargent speaker and be our voice, assisting with fundraising and awareness raising activities near you.
In the future we hope to be back to face-to-face talks but for now we need you to join community groups virtually to give passionate and informative talks about CLIC Sargent’s vital work with young cancer patients and their families through COVID19 and beyond.
Now more than ever, we need communities to understand our work and get behind us.
If you’ve got the jazz, pizazz and passion we want you to join us in the fight for young lives against cancer.
What you will be doing:
- Promoting the work of CLIC Sargent by organising and giving talks and presentations to groups virtually (in the future we hope this will be in person again)
- Proactively approaching local companies, groups and organisations in order to organise speaking opportunities
You will need to be over 18 and able to commit some evenings and weekends.
Joining our team as a Fundraising Engager may just be the best decision you ever make.
We’re looking for people who can bring the fight for young lives against cancer to their local communities by telling more people about the work we do, raising more awareness of fundraising and campaigns, be our face at events and generally oozing CLIC Sargent through everything you do.
You’ll be a go-getter, flexible and up for putting your own stamp on your volunteering.
One day you could be organising a local collection, the next sharing our latest campaign on your social media, the next talking to businesses who are potential partners. The world is your oyster.
You will need to be over 18 and have a good knowledge of your local area, enjoy meeting and talking to people and have the motivation to seek out new opportunities for CLIC Sargent
Ever heard the saying ‘you can’t have your cake and eat it too’? Well this volunteer role throws that saying out the window!
This role is for those who like to have strong relationships in their local areas, know the businesses, the shops and enjoy speaking to the people in them (the cake). And for those who like to fold volunteering into your everyday life while still raising funds (this is where you get to eat the cake) towards our services to support children and young people with cancer. It’s perfect!
What you will be doing:
- Seeking out new locations for collection tins (think your local butcher, post office, stationary shop, corner shop – the places you visit on a regular basis)
- Building relationships with people at tin locations
- Placing and replacing tins four times per year
- Counting and banking donations
You will be working with numbers for the banking part of this role so you’ll need to feel comfortable doing that. We’ll ensure that you receive the right training and support to feel confident in your role and make sure you get your cake and can eat it too!
CLIC Sargent Fundraising Groups are special. Across the UK each year they run huge themed events, carol concerts, regular local bucket collections, raffles and stalls at fetes. The list goes on and on and the possibilities are endless.
Groups organise their own activities and events with the support of a CLIC Sargent Fundraising Engagement Manager. By joining, or creating a group you’ll be able to put your passion and creativity into a positive outlet and achieve some incredible things, personally and for CLIC Sargent.
Each group has a leader, a banker and members. We ask that each group run at least two events per year, with the support of our expert fundraisers.
Whether you’d like to join an existing group in your area or create a group of your own, apply below and our team will be in touch to chat ideas!
