Fundraising Support Volunteer

For Samaritans Bognor Regis, Chichester & District Branch

Would you like to contribute to the local community but feel you couldn’t could commit to volunteering on a regular basis?

The Bognor Regis, Chichester & District Branch of the Samaritans is looking to create a pool of volunteers who could support with collection activities on an ad hoc basis for around 2 -3 hours at a time. The majority of collections are undertaken Friday thru Sunday at venues such as local supermarkets and public events in and around Bognor Regis and Chichester.

Our fundraising is low key and non-pressurised. No specific skills or experience is necessary, just a warm smile and friendly disposition. You will, however, need to be aged 18+, ideally have access to transport and possess a mobile phone.

You will be invited to attend a short induction, with some basic training, at the Branch in Bognor Regis before getting started. You would be working alongside a great bunch of listening and other support volunteers that would love you to join them.

We look forward to hearing from you!

About Samaritans Bognor Regis, Chichester & District Branch

The Samaritans services are available 24 hours a day to provide confidential, emotional support for people who are experiencing feelings of distress or despair, including those which may lead to suicide. Every 10 seconds we respond to a call for help. No judgement. No pressure. We’re here for anyone who needs someone.
We provide emotional support to those who are struggling to cope, some of whom have thoughts of ending their life, through phone, email or face to face. We also work within the local community with schools, hospitals and with other charities to build resilience and support those at greatest risk. We are entirely run by volunteers and our local branch is self sufficient in raising funds to meet our costs, recruiting and training our volunteers. We are open every day and in 2020 responded to 17,500 calls for help.
