Regular volunteering for local charity
For a number of months now Michelle Silvestre, Marketing Executive, has been volunteering at the local cancer charity Penny Brohn Cancer Care, once a week. After volunteering to help marshal the Bristol 10K back in May, she signed up to help in the fundraising office on a regular basis. Each week she is involved in many different tasks which have included so far research, direct mail, help with their online fundraising strategy and advising on electronic newsletters.
Michelle comments: “I’ve wanted to volunteer for a while and with the support of IRIS Donor Strategy I have been able to fit this in around my work. I gain the useful experience of working within the sector we serve, as well as the satisfaction of helping a great fundraising team in a fantastic organisation!”
