Throughout the year, we have numerous fundraising opportunities for which we rely upon volunteer support to ensure their success. These can include bucket and street collections, event support at organised sporting events, information stands at fetes and exhibitions, and representing ELF at presentations and talks.
On this page, we list all volunteer opportunities for which we need support. If you can donate a couple of hours of your time to volunteer at an event, then we'd love to hear from you! Please contact Development Manager Andy Jordan via andy@elfcharity.org.uk or 07508 717773 to register.
Volunteers needed:
Collection Box Co-ordinator - Exmouth
We are in need of a volunteer to take over the management of ELF collection boxes in Exmouth, as our current volunteer steps down following many years in the position. Collection Box Co-ordinators (CBCs) each cover a designated town and help to raise £6,000 in donations per year. The role involves visiting your sites twice per year (in April and October), swapping the boxes then counting and banking the funds. It's a great way to promote ELF within your community whilst helping to raise money!
Full training and kit is provided. Please email Andy or call 07508 717773 for details.
Charity Car Park - Barnfield Crescent, Exeter
We have 12 shifts per year at this city centre car park, which is handed over to local charities on the weekend. Working in pairs, volunteers collect set parking payments and manage the site. Full training is provided and we always strive to pair solo volunteers together where possible, so it's a great way to meet fellow ELF supporters.
Shifts are 2 hours, between 8.30-2.30 on a Saturday and 9-1 on a Sunday.
