Community Fundraising Volunteer Opportunity in Peterborough
The NSPCC is seeking enthusiastic community volunteers to support our events in Peterborough. As a volunteer, you will play a crucial role in helping us organise and execute successful fundraising events. Your responsibilities will include:
Event Support: Assisting with the planning and logistics of local events.
Corporate Outreach: Making contact with local businesses to secure raffle and auction prizes.
Community Engagement: Promoting events and encouraging community participation.
We are especially in need of volunteers to help with selling raffle tickets at our upcoming NSPCC Peterborough Ball on Friday 9th May.
We are looking for individuals who are passionate about helping children, have strong communication skills, and are comfortable reaching out to corporate partners. While attending events is beneficial, it is not essential. Join us in making a difference in the lives of children and families in your community.
What you'll do
You'll volunteer without regular time commitments, ‘as and when' volunteering! Engage with the public, organisations and local communities – promoting a positive image of the NSPCC! You'll be a valued part of one of our Volunteer Community Fundraising Teams across the UK, raising awareness and funds. We appreciate that work, family and friends come first and, with that in mind, this role offers flexibility to fit in with your lifestyle. You only need to commit to a couple of hours a month, but if you want to do more that would be great.
What you'll get
We'll support you with advice, skills and tools to help you fundraise and spread the word of the NSPCC. You'll learn more about how you're helping to protect children across the UK, and you'll have the opportunity to grow your skills and inspire others to support us. It's also a chance to spend time with like-minded people and make new friends.
Who's right for the role?
While we think this role is suitable for a whole range of people, we are particularly looking for those with the following qualities and experiences.
We are currently unable to accept applications from under 18's to this role, please view our other volunteering opportunities or get in touch with the Volunteer Recruitment team on volunteerrecruitment@nspcc.org.uk

As an organisation, we are committed to creating and fostering a culture that promotes safeguarding and the welfare of all children and adults at risk.

At the NSPCC we are on a journey to becoming a trauma-informed organisation for the children, young people and families that we work with, as well as our staff and volunteers. To be trauma-informed is one of the guiding principles that shape and guide our 2021-2031 Strategy. This means understanding the nature of adversity, trauma, and resilience so that we can work towards reducing and preventing further harm and promoting recovery and healing. Coming to work at the NSPCC will provide the opportunity for you to join us in our commitment to becoming a trauma-informed organisation.
