So, you've decided you want to get started, huh? Awesome.

While you're with the organisation, you may want to check out our Knowledge Boosters. They have been created to give volunteers extra reading... We joke; they're for volunteers to close any knowledge gaps they may have in their role. We can't guarantee we have all the information volunteers need, so that's when we rely on you to tell us what you're unsure of.

Generally, after onboarding, your role is self-led, under the supervision of the department manager or one of the organisation directors. As a Fundraising Volunteer, it's beneficial to be self-motivated.

Yes, even volunteers have these.

Although we guide and support volunteers, it's important for each individual to take ownership of tasks and ensure they are completed to a good standard. Spelling, punctuation and grammar is important.  As an organisation - predominantly online - having good, well written consumer-facing content, is vital for our reputation and professionalism.

Fundraising Volunteers must show integrity, honesty and be prudent.
