Collection Tin Volunteer

Geographical Area: Community based role in your local area of Bristol or the surrounding villages

Description :
Are you interested in supporting Bristol's Hospitals by volunteering for their official charity Above & Beyond? We are looking for people across Bristol who have some spare time on their hands and would be interested in managing collection tins in their local community. It’s like having your own little business that you can fit around your own personal commitments and free time. Initially you would identify suitable businesses to take a tin on their counter for donations from the public (this could be local shops, pubs, petrol stations and leisure centres). Every couple of months you would pop out, exchange their tin, count & bank the money and notify us of how much was raised and where. We would then send the business a thank you letter/receipt for the donations received. Ideally over time you would build up your sites so that you have a steady flow of donations coming in, and a regular awareness of the charity with the visual tins out in the community.

You will be handling the public's money, so references would be taken at the time of registration, then you will receive full training from the fundraising team to get you started, and continued support and help along the way.

The support you give will contribute to making a lasting difference to patients and their families cared for at our hospitals.
