Volunteer Fundraising Coordinator

This is an exciting opportunity for someone with fundraising skills to help us with our new fundraising drive.

We are looking for someone to coordinate a small team of volunteer fundraisers to help us raise money so that we can maintain our valuable service to clients.

At Banbury CAB our aims are:

• To provide free, confidential advice and assistance on a wide range of topics, in particular debt, housing, employment, welfare benefits, consumer issues and family problems.
• To help people resolve their problems by providing information and advice about their rights and legal obligations, so that with our help and guidance they can resolve matters for themselves.
• To provide an accessible, high quality service that meets the diverse needs of the community.
• To provide excellent value for money through extensive use of volunteer staff.
• To make use of the experience and knowledge we gain from working with individual clients to try to influence policy makers and prevent similar problems arising for others.

We receive money from a variety of sources but our income is not sufficient to cover our running costs. We are also acutely aware that we are not meeting demand for our services – one third of those who visit our office in Banbury go away without seeing an adviser.

We plan to set up a variety of fundraising initiatives, including both small and large events.

If you are persuasive, creative, enthusiastic, have good communication and organisational skills, local knowledge, and would like to be involved with Banbury CAB, please get in touch and we will tell you more about what is involved.
