Join or form a Volunteer Fundraising Group Volunteer fundraising groups are a way for Child Bereavement UK supporters to come together and raise funds in aid of the charity. Fundraising groups can be formed by an individual with friends and family members or you can join an existing group. All groups require a minimum of three members. Groups meet at times and locations to suit group members and decide between them how they will fundraise. Groups will be supported by a Child Bereavement UK Volunteer Co-ordinator who will help the group become established and decide on group roles. This will include providing fundraising materials and merchandise such as collection buckets and wristbands, information about the charity, and ideas on how to make the most out of the group’s fundraising activities. Volunteer groups are an excellent way to collaborate with people in your area and utilise any ideas and skills you may have. BasedUK-wide opportunities DepartmentFundraising TermsVolunteers will be supported by a Child Bereavement UK Volunteer Co-ordinator to introduce new volunteers to the group.
