We’re looking for people with a great personality, a positive attitude and a strong work ethic.
About Us
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 £20m for our charity partners each year.
The Private Site Fundraising Role
Our Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, fulltime or part-time and enjoy a base rate, meaning you’ll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more.
You’ll be the public face of our charity partners with a mission to interact with the public and get their support in the form of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign ups.
Private Site fundraising takes place at a vast array of shows, events, superstores and smaller stores, town centres, shopping centres and even train stations. These venues are pre-booked for you by our in-house venues team, whose focus is to give you the very best chance of securing as many donors as possible during your shift.
Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos etc...) are provided as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors.
