About Us
We\'re 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 grows as we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.
The Private Site Fundraising Role
Our 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. This role makes a difference to people\'s lives. You\'ll be the public face of our charity partners, interacting with the public to secure regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign-ups. Private Site fundraising takes place at a wide range of venues, booked by our in-house venues team to maximise donor opportunities during your shift.
The working day will vary by venue, and you should be flexible with hours; evenings are typically productive times for sign-ups. Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos, etc.) are provided, as well as an electric tablet to sign up donors.
