Collection Box Co-ordinator

As a fundraising volunteer you will be part of a community that raises awareness and vital funds for Guide Dogs enabling us to support people living with sight loss live their lives actively, independently, and well. As a Collection Box Coordinator, you will be involved in displaying our iconic collection boxes in your local community to help raise funds for Guide Dogs.

This is a community-based role where you look for places to display our collection boxes, liaising with local businesses to encourage them to display the boxes, emptying and banking the funds from the collection boxes and generally being an ambassador for Guide Dogs.

You will have a dedicated volunteer manager as well as peers from the local Community Fundraising Group who will support you throughout your role.

• In the last 5 years we have raised £488,000 from collection boxes and floor boxes.

• In 2023 we have raised over £80,000, from collection boxes so this role plays a significant part in helping us achieve our goals.

This is a flexible role where you can dedicate as little or as much time as you want.
