As part of the ongoing evolution of our charity, we're looking to recruit a Part-Time Fundraiser who can help out occasionally in our office too. We're a small team of volunteers, led by our CEO Judith Austin, who connect prospective volunteers with their ideal position within the local community, as well as providing office services such as photocopying and laminating at affordable rates.
