Event Volunteer

Are you determined to make a difference? Are you passionate about helping others? If so, we would love to hear from you!

Family Fund hosts key events throughout the year to raise essential funds, supporting families across the UK raising disabled or seriously ill children and young adults.

We’re looking for compassionate, enthusiastic volunteers like you to help our fundraising team and bring your local insight to inspire new event ideas.

What you’ll bring

No formal qualifications are needed—just a warm smile and a bit of Family Fund sparkle! Whether you’re bringing lived experience or wider skills, or are looking to learn new ones, our dedicated team will support you every step of the way.

How you can help

Our volunteers assist in a variety of roles before, during, and after each event, including:

• Sharing event details with your local community
• Coming up with great ideas for new events
• Serving as a local liaison with our Volunteer Coordinator
• Setting up/clearing event spaces
• Assisting with registering participants
• Stewarding and cheering on participants
• Handing out information packs, event information and refreshments
• Being the face of Family Fund and communicating our impactful work
• Working as part of a team to make sure our events are a great experience for all involved

The benefits of volunteering

Our vision is to have a culture where we acknowledge, and celebrate, all differences so our staff, volunteers, and the families we support feel safe and free to be themselves, always.

By joining Family Fund’s events team, you’ll experience:

• A flexible, fun volunteer role
• The satisfaction of helping a cause that truly matters
• Ongoing support and the opportunity to develop skills
