Guide Dogs (Dumfries and Galloway) Fundraiser

This volunteer role is for people who want to support Guide Dogs by helping to raise funds and awareness in their local community. You can get involved with fundraising events or collections as a Volunteer Fundraiser, supporting a local group that plays an important part in helping people with sight loss.

The role is flexible and suited to people who can give as much or as little time as works for them. Typical activities include helping at local events such as quiz nights, coffee mornings, sponsored walks and collection activities, as well as sharing fundraising ideas and promoting events through social media and local networks.

Volunteers are also encouraged to talk to people about Guide Dogs and why the charity needs support. The role is in-person rather than remote, and it includes an online induction and training. Applicants need good communication and teamwork skills, and the application process includes a form, references, an informal chat, a formal interview and a probation period.
