Volunteer Opportunities
Behind the Scenes: Strengthening Our Fundraising
We are seeking a Fundraising Lead to join our Core Group, the small team of volunteers who each oversee a workstream within CWR. This role would take on oversight of CWR's fundraising activity, with support from our Admin and Activity Coordinator:
identifying and developing funding bids to trusts, foundations and other grant-making bodies;
maintaining and overseeing a healthy fundraising pipeline so opportunities are tracked and prioritised;
writing bids, gathering supporting evidence, and writing funder reports and/or recruiting and briefing a small group of volunteers as needed to help with this work;
looking further ahead, shaping a coherent fundraising strategy that can give CWR a sustainable financial footing to continue our work for the long term.
Ideally, this person will have some experience of grant writing and ideally overseeing fundraising in a charitable organisation, as well as of course a passion for the work CWR does. They'll work closely with the rest of the Core Group, and with the Admin and Activity Coordinator, alongside oversight support from our trustee with a fundraising specialism, to ensure funding priorities align with CWR's wider programme of work. And in doing so, will have a transformative impact on what we do!
If you are interested in any of these roles, please either sign up via our volunteer application form or email coord.chelt.refugees@gmail.com for more information.
