Donation Tin Collector Volunteer

We’re looking for warm and friendly volunteers to support Child Bereavement UK in their local area by asking businesses to display one or more of our collection tins. You will be working in your local community, helping raise awareness and funds for Child Bereavement UK. Collection tin volunteers will be supplied with kits containing collection tins, thank you cards, and everything you need to get started. As part of the role, you will find local businesses that are happy to help and register them, replace tins when they become full, and thank businesses on behalf of Child Bereavement UK by giving out certificates and thank you cards. You will bank any money collected and keep a record of where our tins are located, working closely with Child Bereavement UK’s Volunteer Co-Ordinator. Every collection tin counts as every penny donated makes a big difference to our work supporting bereaved families.
