FUNDRAISER POSITION

We are a Holistic Centre in Edinburgh providing a Holistic Community Health Project for the Community. Our therapies empower and support people who are going through a challenging time in their lives because of ill-health. Some of the challenges users of our services face are: mental health, cancer, homelessness, bereavement, survival of sexual abuse, stress due to financial difficulties amongst others challenges. As well as complementary therapies, additional help we offer includes weekly meditation classes and opportunities for users of our services to get involved and volunteer with us.
Our team of 30 volunteers give their talents and time freely.

As a small independent charity, we receive no government or NHS funding. In order to continue with our work and to increase the number of people we can support, we need a volunteer fundraiser to be part of our team. The fundraiser, together with Trustee Claudia Goncalves, will develop a fundraising strategy and implement it.

Some experience in writing application forms for funding is required for this position.
