Fundraising Trustee
On average 2–4 hours per week (with some flexibility around key events)
We are looking for a Fundraising Trustee to join our Board and help sustain and grow our income so that we can continue welcoming and supporting refugee families across the Sevenoaks district. We raise most of our income from the local community through our annual spring concert, Dragon Boat team, winter fundraising events, participation in local fairs, regular donations from individual supporters, and support from corporate sponsors and local government grants.
Working closely with the Treasurer, Chair, and a team of dedicated volunteers and beneficiaries, the Fundraising Trustee will help shape and oversee these income streams whilst exploring opportunities to grow and diversify our funding. This will enable SWR to deliver its programme and meet our medium-term goal of welcoming three new refugee families to the district each year over the next three years. You'll bring energy, enthusiasm, and practical skills to the role, helping to broaden the diversity of thinking on our Board whilst making a real difference to the lives of refugee families in our community.
