General Organiser

The RNLI has a network of local fundraising branches organising a wide range of activities and events which last year raised £14 million to save lives at sea.  Each branch is supported by a Community Fundraising Manager although the range and frequency of fundraising events is determined by the branch members themselves.

Are you an organised person, who is used to handling money?  Do you like getting out and about meeting people and developing relationships in the local community?  Then the role of General Organiser might be for you.  Applying for permits for collections, organising a rota of collectors, then counting and recording the income and saying thank you to our supporters is all part of this role.

Becoming part of the fundraising branch could offer you an opportunity to improve your CV, meet new people, learn new skills or just have fun with fundraising in your community.  Some of our branch members have been volunteering for many years, some just join us for a few months - whatever their commitments allow.  You would be required to join the RNLI committee.

What skills do I need?

Good interpersonal skills

Planning and organisational skills

Able to handle money confidently
