Volunteers' Hub

As we continue our development, the Fundraising Home on our Volunteers' Hub will, too.
Fundraising Complex

So, you've decided you want to get started, huh? Awesome.
Generally, after onboarding, your role is self-led, under the supervision of the department manager or one of the organisation directors.
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.
