Fund Raising Volunteer

​

Do you have an event or challenge in mind that could raise funds for The Matthew Project?

Could you help others fundraise?

​

The Matthew Project is a welcoming and vibrant place for building community, providing support, and helping to develop the confidence and skills for those in recovery from substance misuse. The Recovery Hub (at 70-80 Oak Street, Norwich NR3 3AQ) is currently open Monday to Friday.  However, soon, the plan is to open at weekends too.

​

Our service users need us now more than ever.  With your help fundraising we can support more vulnerable people across Norfolk, Suffolk, and Essex. We are looking to build a team of amazing people that can support our fundraising activities.

​

Tasks may include:

• organising fundraising events of your choice within the local community; 

• encouraging people to join in; 

• ensuring events are run in line with Health and Safety and Safeguarding policies and procedures;

• sharing ideas and successes to inspire and support other Community Fundraisers; and

• working with the Fundraising Team to engage community, organisations, and businesses.

• ​

Out of pocket expenses will be reimbursed.

​

Personal qualities are very important to volunteering roles. You will need to be reliable, friendly, enthusiastic, and have a positive attitude to life. We also value great communication skills. These all need to be coupled with a commitment to substance misuse recovery principles.

​

The application process will include an interview, referencing and, if appropriate to the volunteering role, checks with the Disclosure and Barring Service.
