Collection Box and Leaflet Distributors

Our challenge is to raise sufficient money to fund research into brain tumours, as well as offer a local support network to patients and their families. We also need to raise awareness of our organisation so that we are known to those who need us.

Can you help us by:

• Having local knowledge of where best to place the boxes and leaflets
• Collecting in the money, counting it and sending it to the Fundraising Department at our head office in Latimer, Buckinghamshire
• Keeping in regular contact with the Fundraising Department so that your successes can be publicised through our website and Target magazine

• Good interpersonal skills and excellent telephone manner
• Ability to work alone and as part of a team
• The ability to be able to keep records of your activities
• IT skills – emails, word processing, spread sheets etc
• Good organisational skills

Resources required

• Access to a telephone
• Access to a computer with internet/email facility
• Car owner/driver

Time required
