About The Role
The Community Fundraiser post is a relatively new addition to the team at PCCS. We started community fundraising towards the start of 2024, and since the start it has been a very productive and rewarding time for us and those involved.
There is a strong synergy between our potential supporters, both individuals and organisations/corporates and our services – as supporting us through donating baby items or volunteering is an ideal pathway to commit to community fundraising events. The link between the two also helps to increase awareness of our services, and the need for funding to support them.
Furthermore, our move to the Gyle Shopping Centre in February 2024 has really boosted our visibility, accessibility and footfall, and is bringing more potential supporters to us. We are excited to be able to offer this post at 16 hours per week to materialise more support to develop our community fundraising activity. The post will be line managed by the Operations Manager and supported by an experienced community fundraiser board member.
