Fundraising is an ongoing activity throughout the year. However, it is a role that can easily be supported by other members of the team, and this is common practice. There are two distinct forms of fundraising – those requiring writing bids for funds and those with a more social aspect – sponsored events; cake and coffee mornings; quiz nights; etc. The time commitment will be dependent on the nature of the fundraising your group does, and how many others become involved, but you should allow a minimum of 2 hours a week. You will also be required to attend monthly Management Team meetings, each lasting approximately 1.5 hours.
