Looking for a fresh start to 2014? Want to get some experience under your belt, and at the same time make a real difference? Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust is on the search for fundraising volunteers.

The Trust is looking for dedicated volunteers to help with everything from bucket collections to research to managing a bric-a-brac stall. The Trust’s Charity – the Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust Charity – helps raise money for the little extras that make a big difference to patients. It could be anything from new chairs in a waiting area to a piece of state-of-the-art machinery.

Audra Petherick, fundraising officer at the Trust, said: “This is an excellent opportunity for enthusiastic individuals to make a real difference to the lives of our patients through fundraising. You will have the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities, make new friends and have lots of fun. No experience is needed; all we ask for is enthusiasm and a passion for supporting patients at our hospitals, and we’ll help you all the way.”

Fundraising volunteers are very important to our Hospitals and there is no limit to the imaginative ways in which you can help us raise money. Fundraising is fun, rewarding and a great opportunity to meet lots of new people.

The roles are open to anyone aged 18 upwards. If you are interested, contact the Fundraising team on 0121 424 3838 or email fundraising@heartofengland.nhs.uk for further information.
