Description

We’re currently recruiting 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 and organise & host varied fundraising initiatives.  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

Our volunteering team meet online once a month to plan monthly fundraising events such and drag bingo, comedy shows to give our community an opportunity to get together and raise funds to run our services.  You will be working with the rest of the team to come up with ideas for events, as well contacting local businesses for prizes for our raffles.

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

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