All Volunteering Roles
Below our Volunteer Roles are listed, broken down by Local Branch/Group Roles (eg. Branch Chair, Group Leader, Social Media Co-ordinator, etc.) and Support Volunteering Roles (eg. Association Visitors, Support Group Helpers, etc.).
Please note that our teams made up of Community Support Co-ordinators ('CSCs'), Relationship Fundraisers ('RFs') and, where applicable, Campaigns teams, hold the overall responsibility for local volunteering management. As such, all of our local volunteer recruitment, through to volunteering management, is carried out and connected locally via their ongoing leadership and support.
If you are a volunteer and you want to get involved with growing your volunteering community, get in touch with your local teams to discuss.
