Friend of NSPCC Bristol
About organisation / project
|
As the UK’s leading children’s charity fighting to end child abuse, everything we do protects children today and prevents abuse tomorrow. We change the law. We provide school assemblies across the country, helping children understand what abuse is. And, through our Childline service, we give young people a voice when no one else will listen. But all this is only possible with your support. Every pound you raise, every petition you sign, every minute of your time, will help make sure we can fight for every childhood |

What we’re looking for
Volunteers can offer their support for a variety of local events and initiatives. To help build a group of passionate people we can call on if we need an extra pair of hands.
Around 90 per cent of our income comes from our supporters and we couldn’t continue doing what we do without them. That means, our community fundraising volunteers play a really important part in rallying people together to raise vital funds which help to protect children and prevent abuse.
What you’ll do
Helping out when you can at local fundraising and awareness raising events in support of the NSPCC - organised locally by our Bristol Branch, Business Board and District Committees, local campaigns team and/or Community Fundraising Manager.
You will be representing the charity in a professional manner. Some examples include:
- Helping in-person events run smoothly
- Childhood Day collections
- Bristol Pride
- Acquiring prizes for events
- Assisting with ticket sales
- Advertising and promoting events through networks and social media
A key role will be to share news about our work in the local community and helping promote upcoming fundraising events and initiatives.
What you’ll get
- A designated point of contact
- We will support you with the right information, tools and training
- Be part of the NSPCC and our mission to end child cruelty
- Meet like-minded people and enjoy new experiences
- Access to the Volunteer Portal with training opportunities, knowledge and learning - and a discount portal
- Volunteer newsletter
Who’s right for the role?
Anyone who enjoys meeting people, who does not want a regular time commitment but is able to help us build strong community relationships through "As and When" support.
Being reliable and trustworthy are an integral part of this role, as well as having a passion for supporting your community and helping every child and young person have the best chance regardless of their start in life.
