Volunteer Opportunities....
These are exciting times for the Small Charities Coalition and we are looking for committed and enthusiastic individuals to help with the valuable work that we do.
Event management
Central London / at least 4 days a month
The Small Charities Coalition plans to run a number of events over the coming year and we are looking for volunteers to either manage and take full responsibility for the delivery of events (depending on experience), or provide support to the event manager. These roles may include; researching and contacting invitees, coordinating arrangements with venue, printing & designing of materials, stuffing event packs, help on the day (registration, marshalling etc) and producing briefings for Trustees, speakers, volunteers etc. This role may require more commitment nearer to event dates.
If you are interested in the volunteer position please send your CV to info@smallcharities.org.uk
Information Technology
Central London / at least 4 days a month
The Small Charities Coalition has a number of ongoing IT projects that vitally need the input and support of a volunteer with IT technical skills and experience. We are continually developing our website and membership database and require support on identifying and defining our database and website requirements for the short and long term future of the charity. We also have a very large Charity Commission database that needs extracting and presenting for marketing and research. The right volunteer would be integral to any future developments. Alternatively any offer of expertise or support is very welcome.

Research/Fundraising
Central London / at least 4 days a month
The Small Charities Coalition would like to improve its services to small charities and will be launching a volunteer lead project to research useful sources of information for small charities. This will require extensive internet research, identifying existing resources and measuring their effectiveness. The next stage will look at how to implement the signposting of useful resources on the charity website and how to maintain the model. The role will also incorporate a degree of fundraising research. Identifying potential funds from trusts and foundations and maintaining contact with existing funders. Depending on the volunteer there may be scope to extend the role to bid-writing and general policy research across the sector. Whilst research/fundraising skills would be useful, no experience is necessary.
