Community Fundraiser

Since 2024, we’ve been honoured to support over 800 individuals on their journey toward a better future. Looking ahead, our 2026 strategic vision is bold. We want to be recognised as a collaborative support service that truly transforms lives. To help make that happen, we’re looking for a passionate team of fundraisers to work alongside one another, supporting the Creative Director, each contributing in different ways to support the organisation’s sustainability and impact.

The Internal Community Fundraiser supports internal and community-based fundraising activities, organising and coordinating opportunities at local events such as school fetes, markets, fairs, and larger public events. Through these local events you will cultivate relationships with individuals, groups, schools, and businesses to drive income and raise awareness.

Key Responsibilities:

• Help identify and organise community fundraising opportunities, including events, challenges, and campaigns
• Build and maintain strong relationships with local businesses, schools, faith groups and community organisations to encourage financial and in-kind support.
• Support planning and logistics for attending events (stall set-up, materials, rota support)
• Liaise internally to ensure events are well-prepared and staffed
• Help coordinate fundraising resources
• Support with new ideas for local fundraising opportunities

What difference will you make:

• An opportunity to make a real impact on a grassroots organisation.
• Your support will help raise vital funds within the local community, increasing visibility and enabling us to continue outreach and support for people experiencing homelessness.
• Ultimately your input will help turn good intentions into meaningful, lasting change.

What We’re Looking For:

• Experience in fundraising, or community engagement.
• Experience planning events or organising community-based campaigns.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to build and maintain positive relationships with diverse stakeholders.
• Good organisational skills and the ability to manage your time effectively while balancing the voluntary role with other commitments.
• Understanding of homelessness-related issues, or a genuine interest in learning about the challenges faced by vulnerable individuals in the community.

Please tell us why you want to work for Diver's Community and what skills you will be bringing to the role.
