We’re looking for people with a great personality, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic!
About Us
We’re an award-winning charity fundraising agency with nearly 30 years’ experience, delivering fundraising and awareness campaigns for some of the UK’s most well-known charities such as Dogs Trust, Guide Dogs, and Breast Cancer Now. Our passion for fundraising continues to grow, and we raise over £40m for our charity partners each year.
The Private Site Fundraising Role
Our Private Site fundraisers are employed by Charity Link on permanent contracts, full-time or part-time, and enjoy a base rate, meaning you’ll always know a minimum income with plenty of potential to earn more. This role really does make a difference to people’s lives!
You’ll be the public face of our charity partners, interacting with the public to gain their support in the form of regular monthly direct debit donations or lottery sign-ups. Private Site fundraising takes place at a variety of venues, including shows, events, superstores, smaller stores, town centres, shopping centres, and train stations. These venues are pre-booked for you by our in-house venues team, whose focus is to provide you with the best chance of securing as many donors as possible during your shift.
The working day will vary according to the venues you work at, and you should aim to be there when footfall is at its maximum. Flexibility in your working hours is necessary, as evenings are particularly good for finding potential donors.
Charity-branded clothing and equipment (stands, pull-ups, tables, gazebos, etc.) are provided, along with an electric tablet to sign up donors.
