Help us to raise funds for counselling and therapy in Herefordshire

What will you be doing?

Here at Marches Counselling Service we know that the right therapy can change lives, but that the cost can prevent people from accessing the help they need. As well as fundraising from charitable trusts and big funders like the Lottery, we would like to raise our profile in Herefordshire and develop our local community fundraising. This could be from sponsorship, social events, business donations, online giving or any other way that will bring in cash to keep down the cost of counselling for those who need it most.

Finding volunteers with fundraising experience would be wonderful, but also if you have some time, energy, ideas and want to make a difference we would love to hear from you. We are a small charity, based in Hereford, run on shoestring budgets, where everybody’s contribution is valued. 

What are we looking for?

We are ideally looking for someone with experience of marketing, fundraising or community activism. They will need to be confident, enthusiastic and able to organise events and activities. An existing professional or social network in Herefordshire would be an advantage.  

What difference will you make?

Fundraising helps us to subsidise psychotherapy and counselling for people who desperately need it but can't afford to pay the full cost. Our service helps people to live happier, more productive lives with better relationships. The impact ripples out through their families, workplaces and communities.
