We work on behalf of a great cause
Dementia is a major health and social challenge, with an estimated 900,000 people affected in the UK. Many are undiagnosed and face their condition alone. The Alzheimer's Society and supporters are working to change this.
The Society provides vital support, advocates for change, and funds research to improve lives.
What is the job?
The role involves fundraising as a 3rd party agent, employed by The Fundraising Partnership, representing the Alzheimer's Society. Your task is to recruit supporters through face-to-face interactions in retail stores or at people's homes, encouraging them to support with regular donations.
In retail settings, we work with major supermarkets and private venues, providing opportunities for larger teams.
How You Can Make a Difference
A fundraiser typically raises over £400,000 annually for the charity. Over five years, a dedicated professional can raise more than £2 million.
