Volunteer for Maggie's
Maggie’s are looking for a volunteer who would be able to commit one day a week to working in our office with our Corporate Fundraising Team.
The main responsibility of the volunteer would be to help the team with researching prospective company supporters all over the UK, and it would therefore be helpful if you had worked in the commercial sector before or was familiar with how companies are structured or how they give to charity. As a volunteer you would be given training and support and would be part of a small team with big plans, which you would be a vital part of.
There is a full role description available – if you are interested please drop laura.mcgill@maggiescentres.org an email and she can send it over to you or email me and I can get you a copy.Pancake Day Fayre Evening in Berkeley Square
