Volunteer Bid writer to join a Community Exchange

What will you be doing?

You will be keeping an eye out for grants available from sources such as Trusts, Foundations and local authorities, and preparing applications for these funds. You will liaise with Poole Community Exchange staff and volunteers to gather the required information and ensure submissions are accurate and high-quality.   We’d like someone with bid writing experience and/or knowledge of the charity funding landscape. You’ll have keen attention to detail, excellent writing skills and an ability to synthesise information in a compelling and informative style.   You’ll be able to work whatever times are best for you, but may sometimes be working to deadlines so will need to be prepared for this. It may be helpful for you to attend in-person meetings occasionally to support the bid production process, and we would love to see you visiting our projects and being part of our community.

What difference will you make?

Without funding, charities cannot run, so fundraising is one of our most vital functions! Your contribution and the funds you raise will help PCE to keep doing so we can do great work to support our local community.
