Volunteer Emergency Fundraising Coordinator

Oxfam is forming a team of voluntary Emergency Fundraising Coordinators to raise money in their local communities immediately following humanitarian catastrophes (eg the Haiti earthquake and the Pakistan floods).  We would require you to work as and when crises occur to raise money for our emergency response. This will involve organising collections in public places and other fundraising activities. Oxfam's community fundraising team will be on hand to offer training, help and advice every step of the way.

1-10 hours a week, flexible (depends on when an emergency occurs)
