Description
Be the spark that turns small acts of kindness into big change.
There are two exciting ways to get involved as a Community Fundraising Volunteer with Marie Curie:
As a Collection Box Coordinator or a Fundraising Host - or why not try both?
We're looking for friendly, organised, and community-minded volunteers to help raise vital funds for Marie Curie. Whether you'd like to place donation boxes around your local community or host collection days to support other fundraising volunteers, your time and energy will make a real difference for people living with terminal illness and their families.

Fundraising Host
Be the heart of the action on collection days.
As a Fundraising Host, you'll set up a Marie Curie collection point in busy public spaces like supermarkets, train stations, or high streets. You'll welcome and support volunteer collectors, keep spirits high, and help create a warm, positive atmosphere that encourages generosity.
Time Commitment: Flexible commitment to scheduled collection days averaging 4 - 8 hours per month
* Set up collection stations
* Create a welcoming atmosphere
* Support volunteers and guests throughout the day
* Keep collections organised
* Ensure every supporter feels appreciated throughout
Afterwards, you'll help with banking, basic paperwork, and thanking everyone involved.

Collection Box Coordinator
Fuel fundraising from the ground up – one box, one coin, one smile at a time.
As a Collection Box Coordinator, you'll place and manage donation boxes in your local community - think cafés, shops, and community spaces. You'll build relationships with local businesses, collect and bank donations, and help keep track of how each box is doing.

* Friendly and bring a positive, can-do attitude
* A love for your community
* Creativity and initiative for fundraising ideas
* A knack for keeping things organised
* A team player – because teamwork makes the dream work
