Fundraising

We would like to invite you to come along and collect at Euston Station on Saturday 7 December for Solving Kids’ Cancer! You will be working alongside other fantastic volunteers and it is a really fun, heart-warming way to help us raise vital funds for children with cancer this Christmas.

All volunteers will receive a free branded Solving Kids’ Cancer t-shirt, the opportunity to make new friends and meet like-minded people, the chance to build self confidence and a Santa hat to wear on the day (if they would like one!)

It’s so easy to get involved and Solving Kids’ Cancer will be on hand to support you every step of the way.

Our fabulously festive fun run, London Santa Dash, is back for a fifth year running! On Sunday 8 December we will be taking over Brockwell Park with 3000 Santas dashing, prancing, and wheeling around our snowy 5k or 10k route. All the money raised through this event will be funding cross departmental efforts at Great Ormond Street Hospital.

Help support our fabulous fundraisers and celebrate Christmas early!

SHP’s Bucket Collections are a really fun, flexible and easy way to volunteer to help raise vital funds for homelessness services across London.

As part of a team of like-minded volunteers you meet new people, learn about the state of homelessness and gain skills in public fundraising.

Help raise funds and awareness for Target Ovarian Cancer! We are currently looking for volunteers to join us as carol singers at our Christmas collection.

Just two hours of your time could raise enough to pay for half a day of medical research into new treatments for ovarian cancer. So, if you want to make a difference this Christmas, get in touch and join Team Target!

We are currently looking for volunteers to help at our annual Spirit of Christmas carol service. The spirit of Christmas takes place on Thursday 12 December in Sloane Square. The NHS choir will be performing and there will be lots of mince pies!

The evening made £10, 000 last year and we’re aiming to raise even more this year, donations made on the night will be doubled by the UK Government and so will go twice as far to helping children with cancer.

We are putting together a choir with more than 30 people to join us for 1 hour of Christmas Carols under the magnificent Christmas Tree at Trafalgar Square.
Whether you can sing or not - this evening all that will matter is the good spirit and willingness to be part of something special. Because yes, it will be special. Bring your friends along and join us while we sing all the well-known Christmas songs and who knows, you might even learn a new one. The evening is part of the fundraising event where RSBC will be collecting donations to help with the work they do - supporting blind and partially sighted children and young people in their every day life.

Got a couple hours to spare? Improve your communication skills by letting travellers know about our work and join us at one of the busiest stations in London to raise awareness and funds for St Mark’s Hospital Foundation.

By volunteering as an intern for Aspierations, you will engage with all areas of work and help us move forward.

We are looking for enthusiastic volunteers for Fundraising and Partnerships Managers. The role will support developing partnerships and fundraising activities, leading and managing some projects.

Working closely with executive team, you will help us raise funds we need to support our ‘build a school and women economic empowerment projects’ in Africa.

This is a great opportunity which will give you invaluable hands-on experience of communication, business development, fundraising and customer relations.

In addition, you will gain key skills in critical thinking, creativity, coordinating with others, people management, problem solving, negotiation, emotion intelligence and decision making.

The volunteer will assist with each stage of fundraising from grant-making bodies, helping to develop the organisation’s systems and processes, bids and applications and ultimately helping to increase the charity’s income from trusts and institutions.

Help to raise money for the Octavia Foundation and support the work we do in the local community.

We are looking for an enthusiastic student or who is passionate about our work and wants hands-on experience working in a fundraising team.

As a volunteer for Theodora Children’s Charity we offer you the chance to get involved in all elements of our fundraising by researching and sourcing potential funders, writing applications for support and offering general administration support.

Previous volunteers have had the chance to write applications to Trusts (raising funds of up to £5,000), supported the charity with events (including a drinks reception at the House of Lords) and have produced content for our website and newsletters.

In return we can help you get your dream job in sector by giving advice on writing CVs and cover letters and help you prepare for job interviews through coaching and trial questions. Our past three volunteers have all left us to start full time roles within the charity sector. Here is what they said about their time with us:

‘It’s safe to say the one day I spent each week volunteering for Theodora Children’s Charity was my favourite day of the week.’

‘When I first began volunteering at Theodora Children’s Charity I thought I would simply receive some valuable experience, yet the skills I’ve learnt and developed here are truly invaluable, in addition to the tremendous sense of purpose I’ve found in working here; it’s nice being around people that make an effort to create smiles on young faces across the UK who are suffering from illness or disability.’
