Description

We’re currently recruiting Outreach, Events & Fundraising Volunteers to join our amazing and dynamic volunteer team at elop!

elop is an award-winning LGBT Mental Health and Wellbeing Charity with 26 years’ experience of supporting LGBT+ communities across London and surrounding areas.

Joining our LGBT+ Volunteer team you will be part of an enthusiastic and dedicated team who value & appreciate the benefit of giving back to the community and enjoy the opportunity to work with others to raise much needed funds to support our work at elop.

Supported by staff or lead volunteers, our volunteer teams plan & deliver events, organise & host varied fundraising initiatives, and undertake outreach & donation collecting in LGBT bars, clubs & venues.  If you’re someone who enjoys talking to people and have a friendly disposition, then you’d be well placed to help us reach new audiences, promote our work, and raise money.

Duties

You may already have some previous experience, which is fantastic; however it isn’t necessary to come with all the skills & experiences already on board, just a friendly & outgoing personality with good communication abilities, the rest you’ll be supported to develop. 

Respecting diversity & valuing the lived experiences of LGBT+ people, understanding & upholding professional boundaries and confidentiality are fundamental to all of our work and you will be required to support this. 

Who will the volunteers be working with?
Members of ELOP staff, fellow ELOP volunteers and members of the public

Time commitment

We know life can be busy, but we ask everyone to make a 6-12 month minimum commitment or around 4 hours a month.
