A day in the life of a fundraiser
What’s it like spending your working day outdoors? Helping people stay safe at the beach? Raising money to save lives? Three face-to-face fundraisers from previous years share with us their different roles and experiences.
Anna finds being a senior fundraiser very rewarding. She enjoys the numbers, hitting targets and doing a job where she can see the direct benefit of her work.
Simon joined us for his second year running last year - in 2014 he was a level 1 fundraiser. He reckons the qualities you need are: 'to be personable, fun-loving and up for a laugh'.
Yasmin was new to fundraising when she joined us. She is from Birmingham, so the thought of a summer on the beach having the 'time of her life' was too appealing to resist!
