Heartbeat

Volunteering

	Why volunteer? Gain new experiences working with us, have fun, share your skills, and together we can improve support and save lives. What can I get involved in? Tireless fundraising by volunteers raises funds towards improving cardiac care, but it's not only by raising money that volunteers can make a big contribution. See some of the activities that our team of volunteers gets involved in by selecting one of the options below.   You could: Raise Awareness of Wessex Heartbeat Offer to help out at events Join a Community Group Become an Ambassador Student Activities Support the fundraising team in their office

Raise Awareness of Wessex Heartbeat

If you are a member of a group or society, have radio or other media contacts or enjoy speaking yourself, then why not raise awareness of Wessex Heartbeat? D'Arcy Myers, our CEO, is available to give talks on the charity and we are happy to help any budding speakers with information & images for a presentation on the charity.

Offer to help out at events

Many of our supporters put on events in the community and we are often asked if there is anyone who would like to go along to help. This is a great opportunity to volunteer for a few hours with no further commitment. We occasionally require volunteers at our events as well, manning tombola stalls, selling raffle tickets, taking part in bucket collections.

Join a Community Group

Join your local Community Group and help raise awareness of Wessex Heartbeat in your region with fellow group members. Get involved in fundraisers and be one of our local representatives. Each Community Group will also need an Ambassador.

Looking after all of the volunteers in a certain area and recruiting new ones through the local Community Group. Our Ambassadors play a vital role in helping us co-ordinate our fundraising efforts. The role may include representing Wessex Heartbeat at events by accepting cheques, helping volunteers organise events and raising awareness of our work. Please take a look at our Ambassador page for more information.

Are you a school, college or university student looking to experience the charity sector and increase your skills set by volunteering? Contact the fundraising team to find out about the projects you could get involved with. 

We sometimes have office based tasks that we need help with.
