As a fundraising champion you will work mainly in your own community and will have the huge satisfaction of organising events and co-ordinating other volunteers with the full support of the fundraising co-ordinator and other champions.

It is also a great opportunity to get out and about and meet lots of people.

You will be able to chat to them and raise awareness of what Wadars do and you can go home knowing that you have made a real difference.
