Volunteer Fundraising Co-ordinator – South Bucks Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA)
Are you passionate about making a difference in your community? Do you have a flair for organising events, building relationships, and raising funds for a meaningful cause? South Bucks RDA is looking for a Volunteer Fundraising Co-ordinator to help support and grow our vital work.
About Us
South Bucks RDA provides life-enhancing riding and equestrian activities for people with disabilities. Our sessions improve physical health, build confidence, and bring joy to our disabled participants of all ages. As a volunteer-led charity, fundraising is essential to keeping our activities running and accessible.
The Role
As our Fundraising Co-ordinator, you will play a key role in developing and delivering fundraising initiatives to support the group. This is a flexible volunteer position that can be shaped around your availability and work can be carried out from home – although we’d encourage you to visit us at the yard to see the ‘magic’ of South Bucks RDA in person from time to time!
Key Responsibilities
- Plan and organise fundraising events and activities
- Identify new fundraising opportunities, support our Trustees in applying for grants and identifying local partnerships
- Support building relationships with donors, sponsors, and the local community
- Identify new fundraising opportunities
- Coordinate with the committee and volunteers to deliver successful campaigns
- Help raise awareness of South Bucks RDA and its impact
You will be fully supported by our team of Trustees, volunteers and staff.
What We’re Looking For
- Enthusiasm for supporting a charitable cause
- Good organisational and communication skills
- Creativity and initiative in developing fundraising ideas
- Ability to work independently and as part of a team
- Previous fundraising or events experience is helpful but not essential – enthusiasm and ideas are more important.
What You’ll Gain
- The opportunity to make a real difference in people’s lives
- Experience in fundraising, event planning, and charity operations
- Being part of a friendly and supportive volunteer team
- Flexibility to fit around your schedule
Time Commitment
Flexible – a few hours per week, with additional time around events if available.
