Fundraising Events Organiser

Volunteering is and always will be at the heart of Cats Protection. It is joyful and inclusive. As a charity, working in partnership, together we transform the lives of cats, people and communities.

The difference you will make to cats and people

As a charity we are able to help thousands of cats each year thanks to the generous donations we receive from members of the public. Our fundraising events organisers have the exciting and varied role of helping plan and deliver local fundraising events to raise the vital funds needed to help cats. Our fundraising events organisers use their passion for cats and people to plan cake sales, barn dances, quiz nights and everything in between.

You can expect us to

• make you feel welcome, included and respected in line with our values and behaviours

• support you in having a positive and impactful experience at Cats Protection

• cover agreed out-of-pocket expenses in line with our Expenses Policy

• provide you with access to learning, development and engagement opportunities

What skills do I need?

You’ll be:

• planning fundraising events and activities like cake sales, quiz nights and barn dances

• providing the treasurer with information on funds raised from fundraising events

• encouraging and promoting a professional image of Cats Protection

• following policies and guidelines and ensuring licences and permits are obtained for events

When do I need to be available?
