Why we need your help
Marie Curie is looking for a collection box co-ordinator to cover the Minehead and Dunster area to help us raise vital funds for our end of life care and support services in Somerset.
Our nurses, health care assistants and support staff in Somerset work day and night to ensure that people get the best end of life care possible. Fundraising for Marie Curie helps us to ensure we can support people living with any terminal illness and their families.
What we need you to do
The role of Collection Box Co-ordinator involves volunteers getting out into the local community and distributing Marie Curie tins and boxes in shops and venues. When the tins fill up, the venue will contact the Collection Box Co-ordinator to collect the money, and they bank the funds for Marie Curie.
The role is flexible and you can give as much or as little time as you like. Generally, it requires a couple of hours a month depending on how many tins or boxes you would like to place. Your local Community Fundraiser will be there to support you in your role, answer any questions, and provide updates on the charity's work and the impact of your role.
What skills or experience do you need?
- Interest in fundraising, community engagement and volunteering in your local area
- Ability to follow safe cash handling procedures
- Inclusive and respectful values
What we can offer you
- An excellent opportunity to build on your skills in a charity environment
- An induction, training, support and supervision in your role
- Regular charity updates and information
- Agreed reasonable out-of-pocket expenses
Marie Curie is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of patients and their families and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

We will not discriminate on the basis of age, unless the responsibilities of a role require us to do so in order to safeguard our volunteers and/or service users.
