Fantastic opportunity to join our new volunteer fundraising group, designing, planning and delivering exciting fundraising activities for your local mental health charity.

Health in Mind is one of Scotland’s best-known and trusted mental health organisations. Since 1982, we’ve been promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in local communities across Scotland.

From our campaigns and collaborations through to our early intervention support and trauma-informed services, we aim to build hope, resilience and understanding of mental health and wellbeing.
The Income Generation Team works closely to support the delivery of Health in Mind’s strategy, vision and purpose by: raising awareness and building the profile of Health in Mind’s work and of mental health and wellbeing; raising much needed funds; amplifying the voices of people with lived experience. We’re looking for enthusiastic and dedicated people to part of a group that will organise fundraising events in their community to raise money to support Health in Mind’s work.
You’ll be a part of the Fundraising Group which will put on a fundraising event and other fundraising activities in your region. You’ll play a key part of this group, supported by the Group Leader to secure the date, time and location of the event, promotion, and smooth running of the event itself. In the lead up to the event you will also help to organise fundraising collections in the community and increase awareness of Health in Mind’s support and services.
You will be playing a key role in supporting us to raise much needed funds and awareness within your local community. You can get involved in lots of different ways, or you could specialise by supporting the group as Sub-Group Leader, Marketing Officer, Finance Officer, Collecting Can Officer, or Administration Officer.
