Support Possability People’s fundraising activities, helping us raise the income that enables us to continue supporting disabled people to live independently and challenge barriers to inclusion.

This is a varied role with opportunities to get involved in community fundraising, events, collections and supporter activities. You may help at fundraising events by welcoming attendees, supporting activities, collecting donations and helping with set-up and pack-down.

You may also support our collection pot scheme by helping distribute, collect and record donations from local businesses and community venues, as well as providing administrative support such as monitoring the fundraising inbox, updating records and preparing materials.

Fundraising volunteers are ambassadors for Possability People, helping us build positive relationships with supporters and the local community. Whether you enjoy meeting people, supporting events or helping behind the scenes, come get involved.
