Overview
We are an award-winning charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years' experience, delivering fundraising and awareness campaigns for some of the UK's most well-known charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs and Breast Cancer Now. Our passion for fundraising continues to grow and we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.
The Private Site Fundraising Role
Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, full-time or part-time and enjoy a base rate, meaning you'll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more. You will be the public face of our charity partners, interacting with the public to secure regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign ups. Fundraising takes place at shows, events, supermarkets, town centres and other venues. These venues are booked by our in-house venues team to maximise your chances of securing donors during your shift. The working day varies by venue and you should be flexible as to what hours you work, with evenings often being a peak time. Charity-branded clothing and equipment and an electric tablet to sign up donors are provided.
