Tayside 4x4 Response is a charity which responds to requests for assistance by statutory organisations such as NHS, Police, Fire and local authorities when conditions cause significant difficulties in day-to-day operations, generally caused by significant weather events such as snow or flooding. We can be tasked to assist stranded drivers, take NHS staff such as district nurses, GP's or ambulance crews to patients, deliver meals on wheels, move equipment or simply get staff to and from work. The Councils may also use us to check on vulnerable individuals and transport them to a place of safety if they are stranded due to the weather. All requests for assistance would be considered, however our response volunteers require suitable protective equipment, communication equipment and self-recovery equipment. Mandatory training is also required to be undertaken and this all costs money. Fundraising volunteers are a key and vital part of the team to ensure we can provide our services to the vulnerable people in our communities in times of need. We would be keen to hear from anyone interested in becoming involved as volunteer.

Fundraiser for Guide Dogs

We are Guide Dogs and we’re here to help people with sight loss live the life they choose. Our ambition is a future where every person with sight loss has the confidence and support they need to live their lives to the full. We don’t just provide life-changing guide dogs, we also provide advice, skills, emotional and practical support for people and families living with sight loss to help them live actively, independently and well. What does the role involve? Assisting your local fundraising group in organising, promoting and taking part in a variety of activities to raise money for Guide Dogs. It costs £58,000 to support one single guide dog throughout it's life, so without our amazing Fundraisers raising money for us, we wouldn't be able to provide our life changing services! Main responsibilities: * Organise and facilitate fundraising events such as street collections, stalls at local fairs, tea parties, garden sales, sponsored events and anything else you can think of! * Attend group meetings * Take collection boxes to local businesses * Keeping track of what we sell on our stalls at events (including the cuddly toys!) * Count donations
