Fundraising Volunteer

  • VO56613


Description

Fundraising Volunteers help Leuchie House raise our profile and funds to help families affected by long term conditions as respite fees only cover around 60% of the cost of running Leuchie House. Being a fundraising volunteer can be fun and varied. It involves giving up an hour or two of your time when you can spare it to raise our local profile and rally your community around fundraising. Full training and support is provided and your role will focus on activities you enjoy. Some ways you could help include:

  • being the face of Leuchie in your community by handing out leaflets or placing collecting tins
  • becoming a Leuchie Speaker to spread the word about Leuchie by giving talks to community organisations, businesses and schools
  • become a treasure hunter and help source prizes for our raffles, auctions and events

Organisation aims and objectives

To be the UK's best provider of high quality respite for individuals with high dependency physical conditions. We will continually support guests and their carers to enhance the quality of their life. At Leuchie House, our philosophy is that everyone deserves a decent break, whatever their individual care requirements. There is a country house feel at Leuchie, rather than a clinical atmosphere, with the emphasis on social as well as health care. We do everything we can to ensure guests' preferences are taken into account, as you would expect on any break, and offer physiotherapy and a variety of activities and entertainment throughout your stay
