Is this role description set in stone, or is there some flexibility about how the volunteer could help: While the primary focus of the Grants and Sustainability Volunteer role is on securing funding through grant applications, there is flexibility for the volunteer to contribute their skills and expertise in related areas, such as developing fundraising strategies, creating promotional materials, or supporting the Trust's sustainability initiatives. We welcome suggestions and ideas from the volunteer on how they can best support our organiation's goals.
