Cumbria CVS is recruiting and training a team of Fundraising Champions and then linking them to not-for-profit organisations in communities around the County

Will your organisation benefit from a fundraising volunteer? Do you want to take part in this new initiative

Fundraising Champions is a new Cumbria CVS initiative and a pilot, that aims to increase the fundraising expertise of volunteers and staff and help create a more stable third sector in Cumbria.

We are recruiting a Countywide team of fundraising volunteers to place with charitable and community groups and enlisting eight third sector organisations to join the initiative for the first cohort of Fundraising Champions.

Fundraising Champions receive three sessions of fundraising training, alongside a member of staff from their matched organisation. They also receive ongoing fundraising development, training and network events.

Fundraising Champions commit to volunteering for six months and organisations provide a member of staff with an interest or responsibility for fundraising to attend the fundraising training alongside their matched volunteer.

Third sector organisations are invited to join this initiative – all you need to do is complete a registration form and come along to the first Fundraising Champion Event to provide a 10 minute presentation about your cause and the type of fundraising you need help with to a group of volunteers. After the event volunteers will be matched with a charity and cause they would like to support.

If you already have a volunteer who is interested in fundraising and you would like to join the Fundraising Champions initiative – then please get in touch to register.

If you interested and would like more information - please feel free to contact the Funding Support Officer: Victoria Peake - Email: victoria.peake@cumbriacvs.org.uk | Mobile: 07436 163 836
