Volunteer Purpose

We are looking for passionate, motivated and enthusiastic individuals to help us organise and carry out successful bucket collections in local streets, stores and tube stations in October 2015.

We will provide support and materials (including African Revival t-shirts and buckets). Once we know your availability, we will fit you onto a rota and give you a full introduction to collecting.  Responsibilities may include:

  • Attending street/store/tube collections and collecting money from the public to support African Revival’s work
  • Helping recruit other volunteers e.g. family, friends, students
  • Counting and banking cash

No experience necessary. This role would suit someone who is looking for short term volunteering experience, who enjoys talking to members of the public, has good organisational skills, is happy to speak to other volunteers on the phone and is good at cash handling. An interest in international development and education would also be a bonus. Most importantly, volunteers should be enthusiastic and organised.

  • Reimbursement for any pre-agreed travel expenses
  • Fundraising and volunteering experience which will look great on your CV
  • Support from the fundraising team including t-shirts, buckets etc.
