Volunteering
Do you have any spare time? Would you be prepared to offer a few hours or a few days to assist us? If so, the Sunflower Trust urgently needs you to help with the fund-raising activities. This may include telephoning Trusts and other sources of charitable funds and helping to support our Public Relations and Fund-raising Teams in their endeavours. There may, of course, be other aspects of the Trust's work where your skills could be of assistance.
Helping hands for Sunflower Trust
As part of the local community, we are proud of the role we have with our families and we want you to be part of that relationship too. Every volunteer involved with Sunflower Trust helps our families in one way or another; whether that's volunteering for a couple of hours or a day a week. Year upon year we are able to achieve more and more with the care and support we can offer and that wouldn't be possible without the help of our volunteers.
Sunflower Trust is an ever-growing organisation; we are always looking for new volunteers to join our existing team and work alongside our dedicated. You may be a student looking for something to do in your holidays, or a group of colleagues looking for a team-building project whilst supporting a local charity. Maybe you have more time available to use your skills, meet new friends and make a real difference in the community.
We have a variety of opportunities and can offer training and induction to all volunteers. So, whether you want to gain experience or already have experience and would like to share it with us, we would love to hear from you. We always endeavour to match your skills and interests to a suitable role and one that is of mutual benefit and enjoyment to you.

- Administration
- Fundraising

You can volunteer in a fun, busy environment, meeting new people, helping with general office work and making a positive difference to the team.
Fundraising
As well providing assistance to the central fundraising team at the Fundraising Office, you can volunteer out in the community, helping to raise both funds and awareness. You could join one of our support groups, local to your area, or become a "Community Contact" and help individually. Either way, you can help by:
- Finding homes for our collection boxes in your community and co-ordinating their collection and distribution
- Spreading the word about us by giving talks on our behalf or simply telling your family and friends
- Representing the Trust at cheque presentations
- Holding events in aid of Sunflower Trust
- Help the Fundraising Team distribute marketing and fundraising material to other supporters
Group volunteering
Whether you are a group of employees from a place of work or a social group, we always have group volunteer opportunities within the Trust where we need your help.
This could be at the Trust itself, spending a day with us working on a project. We can also offer other "team building" projects that both benefit you as a group and support Sunflower Trust at the same time.
We have a number of "challenge events" that we can organise for you, including sky-diving and white water rafting, both raising funds and your adrenaline levels! You can help organise collections in your local community or maybe a fundraising event such as a ball or a family fun day at your place of work. All these get you working together as well as volunteering your time.
